Creating a challenge

A good challenge will always motivate people to move, right? That's why in YuMuuv you can choose between different forms of challenges! Let's make one, or two?

You should go to the Challenges page and add a new goal by selecting Create.

After that you will see a list of companies you're related to. Only users with admin rights can create company-wide challenges. 

Other users can create private challenges and invite up to 10 participants, including individuals outside the company, such as family members or friends. To create a private challenge, you must first create a private community.

Then you’ll choose the activity type for your challenge. The list includes both automated sync challenges and manual entry challenges. If you scroll to the bottom, you’ll find a custom option to create a challenge for an activity not included in the list.

In the next step, you can customize your challenge settings. Choose which leaderboards you’d like to display during the challenge and decide whether to enable the chat and manual entry function. 

Individual leaderboard - all the users will see the ranking with all the participants.

Team leaderboard - participants who join a team will contribute to their team’s overall results. The leaderboard displays the rankings of all teams. You can choose between two viewing options: AVG (average results per participant) or SUM (the total combined results of all team members).

Country leaderboard - basically the same as with teams, but people are grouped up with people from the same country.

Chat - Under each challenge, there's an option to have a chat. There's no "big" chat for all the users under your company, but each challenge has it's own for it's participants.

Manual entry - for automated sync challenges, you also have the option to allow manual data entry, which gives users the option to manually enter their data into the challenge if they wish. If enabled, you can specify how many days participants can go back to add their data.

Now you can choose your challenge's period. You can select from the following options:

Next Month: Automatically sets the challenge for the entire next calendar month.

This Month: Automatically sets the challenge for the current calendar month.

Custom Period: Allows you to manually specify a start and end date to fit your needs. The app will display the total duration of the challenge in days based on the selected dates.

 

Also you’ll have to choose a goal for the challenge. There are three different types you can choose from (and define the target amount for). Each challenge can only have one goal. 

Total amount target: each participant is required to meet the target through their own activity. Participants don’t need to achieve the goal daily (e.g., if the target for a 30-day month is 300,000 steps, they are not required to complete 10,000 steps every day). What matters is that the target is achieved by the end of the challenge.

Consistency target: participants need to complete a certain activity in a specific number of days. If the user meets the daily goal, that day will be marked as completed and they've made some progress towards their overall consistency target.

Collective target: a good way to get employees to work together. You can set one big target and everybody can contribute as much as they can, to collectively reach this target by the end of the challenge.

Now that all the technical decisions are finalized, it’s time to set the final details. Choose a name for your challenge, add a prize if applicable, and write a description to guide and motivate participants (not mandatory).

Everything is set! Take a final look to ensure everything is correct. If it is, click Create. Congratulations on creating your new challenge!
