Longer Challenges eg week, month, 2 hours

There should be a larger variety of challenges that could be long like a month long or short like a couple of hours and there should be rewards for challenges you participate in with friends/family like gift cards for a variety of stores

I would love to have more diversity on challenges - at work we are doing a 3 month fit bit challenge with 16 people we would like to set it and forget it as well as see where everyone is at - or at least have the way to have more then 10 people

It is a joke, fitbit knows how many products i have bought and had to replace........I do it becuase of loyalty but im getting to the point where i know my alta hr will break soon like all the others and im not going to replace it.  if they cant support users with a simple tweak to a challenge they are community focus so i will leave.  7 DAY CHALLENGE!!!!!

It would be great to get a seven day challenge that allows the combo of a working week and a weekend i.e. 'The Seven Day Showdown' . In fact why not create a challenge option that allows players to set own start date and duration, up to a month or quarter etc. You could just slide to pick number of days Inc.

There should be weekly, monthly, 3 monthly etc challenges do make it interesting.

It would be great to have a weekly challenge, instead of the Weekend Warrior or the Weekday challenge.

Can this be made an option, seems like you have the other two in place, simple third addition.

Heck..iphone makes a million software updates in addition to the updates to their devices.  With the success of fitbit, why can't some additions be available to the software, instead of just new devices.

We are doing some month-long challenges and it would be great if we didn’t have to keep spreadsheets on the side to track it. Just giving the ability to create custom time frames would take care of everyone.

We require monthly global challenges similar to 'Samsung health monthly Global challenge' in which anybody can participate. Look at the sheer number of participants in Samsung Health App; hundreds of thousand of people are engaged to it.!! Samsung monthly challenge have motivated me also; and made me regular at exercise. Even though Fitbit allow challenges within closed group members, what should do when I don't have any friends to form the closed group?

I completely agree with this idea, I work shifts along with a lot of my family and so having a 7 day challenge would be really good

It's been 2 years since this suggestion has been created almost a year since it is under review and still not executed. I doubt Fitbit are listening to any of these suggestions....

This suggestion was requested back in 2014 and nothing has happened, this is sad to say the least, it's a great suggestion and is TOTALLY NEEDED.  I would like a Month, Quarter, Year Long challenge to be added ASAP.

In the Fitbit App, kindly include global challenges in which anybody can participate. Even though Fitbit allow challenges within closed group members, I don't have any friends to form a closed group. I became regular at jogging because of Samsung Global Challenge in which anybody can participate. I am sure many others will have same issue, so my request is to add "monthly global challenge" option in the App.

Any one else get felling that mods don't really listen there's hundreds of comments dating back to 2015 and 900+ likes requesting longer challenge's but still not been added 

 

I need longer challenge's as keep getting beaten as the work week challenge runs from Monday to Friday and I work Friday night's so only 2 hours of my 5th work day counts towards it and every one else in challenge works Monday to Friday

Try sending message via social media... I've had a few responses that they
are working on it. Obviously not, but if more people speak up.... ?

Yes please! This would be awesome! Also maybe one for months (people get sponsored to try for a month and would be great to have an easy way to show this!)

We love the Workweek Hustle and Weekend Worrior. We'd like to see a challenge that includes all 7 days of the week, not just 5 and 2. That would be awesome!

Please add some longer challenges and more variety in challenges to.

I'm not sure why this flags me as a jogger when I have never logged a single jogging step in the app?  I'm a desk warrior who is desperately trying to walk his way to better health...

Anyway, I'd like to request a range of Charity Challenges with long term goals: challenges perhaps over as much as a year to achieve (say) 5 million or 10 million steps. The ability to get a standard report, tracking progress against such a challenge would also be invaluable for those attempting to maintain motivation and to update sponsors on a weekly or monthly basis.
