Creating a challenge

The basics

A challenge is four choices: a type, a metric, an optional goal, and a time window. Everything else follows from those.

• Leaderboard — everyone competes, highest result wins. With a goal it becomes "first to X wins".
• Community goal — everyone's results add up toward one shared target, e.g. "walk 500 km together".
• Beat yourself — everyone competes against their own previous period; the score is your improvement in percent.

Metrics

• Walks — number of completed interval sessions
• Distance — kilometres walked
• Minutes — time walked
• Fast intervals — brisk segments completed
• Active days — days with at least one walk
• Elevation gain — metres climbed
• Streak weeks — current weekly streak length

The join code

Every challenge gets a unique 8-character code the moment you create it, and its page on iwtlife.com goes live at the same instant. Share the code, the link, or the QR card the app generates — whoever has it can join in the app and follow the leaderboard on the web.

Codes never contain the characters 0, O, 1, I or L, so there's nothing to misread.

Open or locked

By default, anyone with the code can view the challenge page. For a company or private group you can also set a 4–6 digit PIN: the code alone then shows only a locked page, and the leaderboard opens after the PIN. Share the PIN through your own channel — chat, email, the office noticeboard.

Teams and rules

• Teams — assign participants to teams (Marketing, HR, …) and get a team standing next to the individual one.
• Average per member — makes teams of different sizes comparable: the team score is the average instead of the sum.
• Free walks count — by default only completed interval sessions count; enable this to also count free walks.
