Physical Activity

The Physical Activity challenge type requires teams to complete a physical task at a location — balance exercises, team poses, dances, or other activities. Completion is validated by event staff reviewing a photo or video, or confirmed by the team as a self-report.

  1. The challenge activates when the team reaches the GPS location.
  2. The player reads the activity instructions (shown as introductory text — supports HTML, images, and embedded video).
  3. The team performs the physical activity.
  4. The app may use phone sensors (e.g., gyroscope for balance tasks) or accept self-reported completion.
  5. Points are awarded immediately upon completion.

Physical Activity challenge creation form showing standard common fields with no additional type-specific options

Physical Activity uses only the common challenge fields — there are no additional type-specific fields. The activity description goes in the Introductory Text field.

PointsPoints (common field)Awarded directly on completion
  • The activity instructions are set in the Introductory Text field (HTML content with images and video support).
  • This type has direct points — points are awarded immediately upon completion, without answer validation.
  • Completion can be sensor-based (the app uses the phone’s gyroscope to detect balance or motion) or trust-based (the team confirms they performed the task).
  • No staff scoring step is required, but pairing with a Picture/Video challenge at the same location lets you collect proof.
