How do I create a challenge?

Before you start

• The event must be stopped
• Know what type of challenge you want (see Choose the right type if unsure)

Steps

1. Open your event → Challenges tab.

2. Click New.
3. Select a challenge type from the dropdown (Questions, Photo/Video, Puzzle, Hints, etc.).
4. Fill in the common fields:

Field	What to enter
Name	Challenge title (“History Quiz”, “Team Selfie”)
Question / Description	The instruction or question text
Points	How many points this is worth (use 0 for hints)
Location	GPS coordinates — type an address or click the map

5. Fill in the type-specific fields (answers for questions, time limit for photos, difficulty for puzzles, etc.).
6. Click Save.

Result

The challenge appears in the Challenges tab list and the sidebar count updates. The challenge is now available to assign to routes.

If something goes wrong: “Editing is not allowed while the event is active” means the event is running. Stop it first, then create the challenge.

Tip

• The map defaults to the event’s center location. Click the map to place the challenge somewhere else.
• Photo/video challenges have a time limit: 60 seconds for premium accounts, 20 seconds for standard.
• Hints default to 0 points — they are informational, not scored.
