🧩 Mode-by-Mode Guide
🩵 Streak Mode
Focus: Hitting a daily goal — consistency over total.
Set a daily step, minute, or distance goal. Optionally turn on Personalized Goals, allowing each participant to choose their own target within your set range.
Example:
Goal: 6,000 steps/day
Personalized range: 3,000–15,000 steps/day
Daily activity cap: 75 minutes/day
💡 Best for: Daily movement habits, consistency, and all-ability groups.
🧡 Leaderboard Mode
Focus: Total activity across the entire challenge.
No fixed goal required — participants are automatically ranked by their totals (steps, minutes, or distance). Optionally set a Daily Activity Cap to keep things fair.
Example:
Mode: Leaderboard by Active Minutes
Daily activity cap: 75 minutes/day
💡 Best for: Competitive challenges where participants love seeing their name climb the board.
💚 Target Mode
Focus: Reaching a total cumulative goal by the end.
Set an overall step, minute, or distance goal that each participant aims to complete within the timeframe. Optionally enable Personalized Goals and add a Daily Activity Cap.
Example:
Goal: 200,000 steps over 30 days
Personalized goals: On
Daily activity cap: 20,000 steps/day
💡 Best for: Self-paced challenges where progress adds up over time.
💙 Stick To It Mode
Focus: Building small, sustainable habits.
Set a simple daily goal — like active minutes or distance — and define how many times you want participants to hit it.
Example:
Goal: 10 active minutes/day
Frequency: 5 days per week
Daily activity cap: 60 minutes
💡 Best for: Habit-forming or themed wellness challenges.
💜 Virtual Race Mode
Focus: Traveling across a map — individually or as a team.
Set a map theme and total distance participants should complete in your timeframe.
Add a Daily Activity Cap to prevent outliers from skewing results.
Example:
Map: “City Run ”
Goal: 75 miles per person
Daily activity cap: 15 miles/day
💡 Best for: Visual, milestone-based challenges that show progress across destinations.
💫 Freestyle Mode
Focus: Tracking custom activities that go beyond steps.
Define the activity and how many times participants should complete it during your challenge.
Example:
Activity: Yoga
Goal: 10 sessions in 3 weeks
💡 Best for: Creative or themed events like meditation, stretching, or “Wellness Bingo.”
🧑🤝🧑 Team Leaderboard Mode
Focus: Teams compete by average total activity per member.
Choose your metric (steps, minutes, or distance), decide who creates the teams, and optionally set a max team size and daily activity cap.
Example:
Metric: Steps
Max team size: 5
Daily activity cap: 25,000 steps/day
💡 Best for: Friendly competition that balances large and small teams fairly.
🏃♀️ Team Virtual Race Mode
Focus: Teams race across a shared map, scored by average total distance per member.
Set your race map, distance, and team setup preferences. Remember: the distance you set is for each individual, not the combined team.
Example:
Map: “City Run ”
Distance: 60 miles per person
Max team size: 5
Daily activity cap: 10 miles/day
💡 Best for: Team races where everyone’s contribution counts equally.
🌍 Group Virtual Race Mode
Focus: The entire group moves together toward one big finish line.
Set the map theme and a total distance goal shared by all participants. Optionally include a Daily Activity Cap.
Example:
Map: "Step into Spring"
Goal: 10,000 miles total
Daily activity cap: 20 miles/day
💡 Best for: “All-in” challenges where everyone’s progress adds up.
🎯 Group Target Mode
Focus: Reaching one shared goal as a collective. Choose your metric, set a group goal, and decide whether to include a Daily Activity Cap.
Example:
Metric: Steps
Goal: 5,000,000 steps total
Daily activity cap: 25,000 steps/day
💡 Best for: Collaborative challenges that unite everyone toward a single goal.
💡 Pro Tips
Keep goals challenging but reachable — most participants should hit them.
Combine modes (e.g., Leaderboard + Streak) for both consistency and competition.
Encourage fun, thematic names and maps to boost engagement.
Use past challenge data to set realistic targets for your group.
