We (my Fitbit friends) would like to increase the challenge numbers to include more than 10 people. Our group includes way more than 10 who are active and want play
I think Fitbit should actually go much further, the competitions are the main attraction for a lot of users so it's surprising they do so little to improve it.
Some other ideas -
Allow users to define the time period of a competition (so you could compete over a week, month etc etc)
Create a recurring challenge leaderboard, for example if you do a workweek hustle with the same group of people every week allocate points for each weeks winners and runners up (like motor racing, 10 points for first, 9 for second etc etc) and then have a running league table. If you are mid table with no chance of winning the current week it would still give you an incentive to get as high as you can to help your overall ranking
Allow competitions for different things, number of stairs climbed, number of exercise sessions in a week, weight loss......
Theres so much that could be done to improve the competition aspect of Fitbit!
Please can you change the settings to the challenges to allow more people to join in than 10. We are having to leave people out of challenges which is not fair as we are all motivating each other! We all really enjoy the challenges, but are sad people are left out

Becky and all the mummies in her challenges trying to get fit and get rid of baby weight
Nobody at Fitbit seems to listen. They want people to get fit and healthy and the Fitbit is a good bit of kit BUT WE NEED MORE THAN 10 IN THE CHALLENGES
I work for a large company and we have to include different people each week to take part in the challenge as everyone wants to take part in the same one. Please increase it from 10 to at least 20. More people are talking about joining but feel its not as good if we are all on separate challenges.
This idea has been a request for YEARS now, but Fitbit could seriously care less about implementing it. “Reviewed by Moderator” might as well mean “Might as Well Forget About it.”
I HATE missing out on a challenge, because someone setting it up invites more than 10, and I don’t see the invite until late. Such a crappy feature to have. Only serves to piss off users.
Unfortunately, I expect Fitbit to never change this, because they couldn't care less.
I know a lot of people really hate how only 10 people can be in a challenge at once (besides the virtual hiking like ones). For the regular challenges, I would Like to suggest an update where like at least 25 people or more can be in a challenge. My friends and family always have to make 3 different challenges because we cannot fit everyone and it makes it difficult!
Please please please can you change the you can only be in 10 challenges at a time rule and only 10 people in a challenge rule I'm on a number of weight loss and fitbit groups and end up where I can't join challenges because I'm already in 10 or the challenge is full and the over lap when people haven't synced on the daily showdowns or goal day challenges is frustrating as I can't join any other challenges till they've synced its over let me join a new challenge with so many people having fitbits now I think you need to up the amount of challenges we can be in or just take the cap off completely it's really annoying 😔
I would like to be able to add more than 10 people to a challenge. I think a max of 20 people would be perfect. Also, please give us the ability to delete old challenges off the challenge page once completed. They do drop off after a few days, but especially if you in multiple challenges (to accommodate all your friends because of the 10 person max), that screen is to cluttered.
Again, PLEASE Please consider giving us the option to race 20 persons and to delete completed challenges ASAP!

I got my first fitbit over the weekend as a birthday present and was eager to join with my co-workers on the weekly challenge, as I have been walking with them for months already. Come to find out today, I'm the 11th person on the "walk squad". So I was disappointed to hear this morning that my invitation to the work week challenge was denied because of the 10 person limit.
So, here I am, signing up on the forums and joining the march to increase the limit so I can have fun with my co-workers and friends. Fitbit, please work to get this increased!
It seems as if this is not a new topic. I'm curious why it's taking so long to imlement something that clearly many users have requested? Come on, Fitbit. Help us out. 😊
