Increase challenge participants to greater than 10

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

Having that many people would be a lot of fun. The more people in a challenge = the harder you work.

We are team of 15 people. Everyone wants to jjoin the challenge we feel really bad that not everyone can be accommodated in the challenge because  10 people limit . Please consider to increase the limit.

New challenges will be here shortly.

 

There is 3 new Team Challenges where at the moment, the participation level is between 2 and 20,000!

 

There currently called Workplace Race but i expect the titles to be updated. The descriptions are as follows 

Teams compete for the highest cumulative daily average steps over a set time period.

Sam,
Looked at the March 22nd update and nothing about increasing participants to greater than 10. Please let us know how you got it to work.

Thank you,

@Bonxy That is encouraging to see. I really hope Fitbit pulls the trigger on this ASAP, and doesn't wait forever on releasing this add-on to the app.

 

We've all been waiting for these changes for years. The frustration at these limits are constant. Just today I had to once again miss out on joining a workweek hustle because more than 10 people were invited (I hate that you can inite more than can join), and I didn't get a notification untill it had already filled up. It drives me crazy!

 

Thanks for sharing the information. It's nice to see that they're working on it...

Hi! If possible, when will we be able to challenge more than 10 people during one game. We always have more than 10 people that want to play and it's always first come first serve. Someone always lucks out and can't play with the rest of our Fitbit family team. Maybe increasing it to 20 would be more of a challenge!

Why can't we join more than 10 challenges at time. What is the use of making the app a little community and encouraging us to interact if you limit our participation on challenges. I have 4 challenges sitting out there that I can't join because I'm at a limit . Why limit us when we are trying to challenge and improve ourselves 🤔😠😡:question_mark: This is really annoying considering people have been complain about this for a couple of years. Just help us be great and let us enter as many challenges as we want

Stepping Up

I enjoy the new group challenges such as the NYC 10 Miles and others. When starting a new challenge, I select friends with similar levels or ranges as me. For example, if I average 10k, I would invite steppers that average around 8k to 13k. This makes things challenging for me and the other steppers. However, I find that some people will then extend that invitation to steppers that average 20k, 30k, or more steps. They then continue to invite their higher stepping friends, and before you know it, they are already across the finish line. This leaves us with no time to finish the race. Is it possible to have a feature that will turn off or limit the invitation ability of invited users?

I believe this will make all the challenges much more enjoyable for everyone.

I wish there could be more than 10 people in challenges, maybe 15-20. And can you change it so we can be in more than 10 challenges at a time.

There really needs to be a update where there can be more  then ten participants on a challenge. My challenges between my family and I are awesome! They would be even more epic if everyone could join.

Hello,

 

I was wondering if FitBit could make it so we can add more friends in the challenges. 10 is not enough at least 20 would be great 🙂
