Goals and Challenges - Types of Challenges – RG Help Center

Introduction

This article describes, in short, all the different types of challenge available in Engage. This information is useful to clients and members.

Challenge Modes

Depending on the module you choose, goals can be based on either steps, distance, active minutes, or daily habit completion.

Streak

The Streak mode encourages healthy habits as users try to meet a step, distance, or minutes goal every day for a specified period of time. Users should try to meet their daily goal as many days in a row as possible.

Example: Everyone in the challenge has a goal to reach 30 active minutes per day during a 14-day challenge.

As an admin, you can view the percentage of days each user hits their goal. For example, if a user meets their Streak goal for 11 days during a 14 day challenge, they would receive a 79% completion score on your report.

Stick To It

Stick To It allows participants to ease into a healthy habit. Set a daily steps, distance, or minutes goal, then determine the total number of times you want participants to meet it over the course of a challenge. With Stick To It, it’s okay if participants miss a few days!

Example: Reach 30 daily active minutes 20 times over the next 2 months.

Target

The Target mode allows you to set a total steps, distance, or minutes goal to achieve over a period of time. A user’s score is the sum of their activity over the course of the challenge. We calculate a daily pace to help users stay on track.

Example: Everyone in the challenge has a target goal of reaching 100,000 steps in 10 days.

As an admin, you can view the percentage each user hits. For example, if a user gets 89,800 out of their goal of 100,000, they would receive a 90% completion score on your report.

Leaderboard

The Leaderboard mode has users to compete for the top spot. Participants are ranked from high to low based on their steps, distance, or minutes moved. Rankings are based on total activity.

Example: All 50 people in the London office are competing as individuals to get the most steps over the course of May.

Virtual Race

The Virtual Race mode allows users to compete in a virtual long distance race. Track progress in real time along the virtual race path. Experience fun surprises and milestones throughout the virtual race!

Example: Complete a 99 mile virtual race across the Florida Keys.
