I live doing challengers with friends, but would love a greater variety. Also, I think having calorie challenges or other ways to measure yourself would be fun. I get no steps for a rowing workout, but it’s a great workout and seems silly that it shouldn’t count in a fitness competition.
Maybe also add more trails to compete on? Basically, just an all around upgrade for the friendly competitions.
Hi @Tleroy14, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option on the Fitbit Challenges. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.
Hi @ShineyJ, and thanks for sharing with us your suggestion about adding more adventure races to participate with your friends! We rely on feedback like yours to help us develop products and features that we know our community wants to see. If your suggestion receives votes from other customers and gains popularity, it will be shared internally with various teams at Fitbit. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visitour FAQs. Watch this space for status updates!

Hi all... like the pages I've read from years past... I still think there should be more solo adventures where you can find "gems" and see if you can collect all the tid bits of knowledge. New solo adventures please. I'm bored with FitBit and although the bitmoji partnership is realllyyy cool, I don't feel the need to upgrade to a Versa for that one feature (at least not yet-it may though). Overall, fitbit could use a team of people that make us further engaged with our fitbits (love the holiday idea suggested earlier)... I'm not competitive so weekend or weekday leaderboards do nothing for me.. but "collecting all the things" is cool and fun. Thanks for listening!
I love it. The challenges really aren’t like the Fitbit ones but you can share with any friends who have an Apple Watch your activity, and challenge friends for a badge. The badge collection I find is more fun with Apple because it’s almost daily you’re looking for badges versus milestones.
I too would like some more challenges, would be great to see some some longer ones and from other countries! Would be happy to capture the images and data for it. The current two have got a bit boring for my group of friends
I see many posts on here with the same idea so I know I’m not unique in saying this, but please add more challenges. There are so many places throughout the world that could be used to excite and interest us Fitbit users that are doing monotonous daily routines. Let us live vicariously through our Fitbit app and watch by climbing a mountain range in Chile or walking the Great Wall or crossing the Alaskan wilderness.
Good luck with that. People have been asking for more challenges for 5+ years now, as you can see by this and other threads. Instead of giving us more, they took some away.
Fitbit has, across the board, rejected our requests and ideas to make their fitness tracker relevant among today's offerings. The result is that they're on the brink of going under. It's a shame, but well deserved. -- Best,
Per Fitbit terms and conditions: "However, neither Fitbit, nor any of its employees, may accept or consider any unsolicited suggestions, including ideas for new or improved products or services, new marketing campaigns or product or service names.

So by suggesting more challenges... we have all insured that there will NOT be more challenges!
I have several suggestions on how to improve your product... but since I can't share them with you or your employees, I'll be sure to share my suggestions with Apple when I go purchase their watch to replace my Fitbit.
@DivaMomVicki girl I agree. I sold my Fitbit and I’m getting the Apple Watch for Christmas. I gave up when I saw how far back this thread goes and how many years ppl were asking for improvement with no response. My only difficulty now is deciding with color and case Apple Watch to get. I hope everyone get on board and put down their Fitbit spread the word and boycott. Eventually they will shut down
@Barbsousa I have the Garmin vivosmart HR which was a gift and I would never get rid of it. I bought the Fitbit because of the challenges and a couple colleagues had them but I quickly got bored with it after the same old challenges. So I’m getting the Apple Watch.
New App available . No Fitbit needed. "Walk the Distance " lets you hike the Appalachian Trail virtually. I asked Fitbit for this feature. No response. A kid coded it when his mom requested it. -- Best,
