What sort of challenges are there?

There are 12 types of challenge: Active, Benevolent, Cultural, Creative, Discovery, Ecological, Intellectual, Literary, Sensory, Social, Wellbeing and Supreme Mammoth.

As well as 4 difficulty types:

Micro = The easiest challenge. A little bit of fun to fill minutes or a couple of hours.
Mini = One of these might take a bit of thought or planning but will still be easy to complete.
Medium = Now you're talkin'! These will take time to plan and complete - a proper test of what you're made of.
Mammoth= These will wring out every last bit of courage and determination you have and leave you bathed in glory.

You can pit yourself against Randomly Challenged and complete official challenges, collecting achievements, rewards and recognition along the way or you can create you own challenges to post to the community, your groups or friends and family.

Is it completely free?
It sure is. We will never charge you to join our site or play Randomly Challenged. However, sometimes in order to complete a challenge you might need to buy something or travel. For example, if you need to cook something to complete a challenge you will need ingredients to cook with - we don't supply those. You don't have to do the challenge if it's not right for you, just click the skip button - sometimes though, this may incur a penalty.

How do I start a challenge?
Head over to your 'Profile' page. There you need to click the 'get a challenge' button. You will then be asked what difficulty or commitment level of challenge you wish to start. Micro (easy) through to Mammoth (very difficult).

After making your selection you will be asked to choose either a random challenge or select your challenge from a choice of three. However, if you select your challenge you will only see a title and an outline at this point. Click the 'Go' button and the challenge has begun! Your Reward Time will have started - complete the challenge within this time limit to earn Reward Tokens - they earn you rewards!

How do I complete a challenge?

Follow the instructions contained in your challenge. As long as you complete the required parts of the challenge, it counts. We encourage you to be creative with the requirements and put your own take on the challenge - as long as it is within the Rules of play and not against any of our Terms and Conditions.

Upload content to your challenge via its loader in your Profile page. To add a Movie, click the 'Edit' button in the movie section. The same process applies to text and photos. When you're happy with what you've made and are sure it meets the requirements to pass the challenge, individual accounts should click the 'complete challenge' button. Group challenges do not need to be submitted to Randomly Challenged and do not have a 'complete challenge' button - they are always available to be added to, and to be rated by the community.

Tip: You will be rewarded more frequently if you create interesting challenge content. The better the rating you receive from other players the more you will gain.

What happens if I skip a challenge?
If it's a Community Challenge, or one that you created yourself then there is no penalty for deciding to drop it from your list of active challenges. If you have started one of our own Randomly Challenged challenges however, then you will either get to skip it for free, or a points penalty will be taken out of your skill level. We give you a few free skips when you start, to get you used to our site without being unfair (and there are other ways of earning a free skip) - but the more of our challenges you take on, the greater the penalty for not trying to finish them!

Why do I have to be 18 to join?
While our challenges are not dangerous there are some that will require a mature approach or may perhaps have an age restriction on the activity in question. To make the game fair, a player has to be 18 years of age to join or be 16 and have their parent or guardian's consent.

What should my Profile picture look like?
In order for you to be able to win rewards we have to be able to make sure that the player that owns the account completes their challenges. We do this with profile pictures.

A profile picture needs to be a good representation of what you look like. Think passport photo. Then we need to see you completing your challenges either in a photo or a movie. We must be able to see you complete your challenge in EVERY challenge to qualify for rewards.

How do I add friends to my profile?
You can add friends to your profile via their profile pages and challenge pages. Adding friends makes it easy to keep track of how they are doing in the game, and they can be invited to any groups that you are part of. Your friends are represented by their profile pictures in your profile. The more you visit their content and interact with them the higher on your list they will climb.

You can edit your friends list from your profile page.
What we are trying to do...
Randomly Challenged is a new way to explore, create and share online and real world experiences via a social network. We are excited to provide a platform that encourages and rewards our players to try new things and share their inspirational and entertaining stories. We think it's time to take the good things that social networks have to offer and bring them into the real world.
Have fun
Create a free account and enjoy all our official challenges. Get inspiration from players who have gone before you and then put your own spin on the story of your adventure. Expand your experience and climb the leaderboards, earning rewards along the way.
Create
Perhaps you like the idea of setting challenges - no problem, create a challenge and submit it to the community. And there's a small XP reward for every new challenge you create! Be entertained by the imaginative stories produced by our leading players and follow their progress as they tackle new challenges.
Socialize
Create a free group account for your family, club, class, team, organization or company. You can tackle many of our official challenges as a group or develop your own challenges to motivate, encourage and reward your group members. Develop a following and use you group as a way to communicate new ideas and receive feedback from enthusiastic members.
Solve
Do you have a question or problem that you can't find an answer to? Why not harness the power of people seeking a challenge and put your question to them? Create a challenge and watch as the community endeavours to solve it.
Promote
Imagine the potential of lots of people engaging in an activity that is centred around a specific place, object or idea as a means of promotion. Not just exposure to a phrase, image or short-term novelty that is advertising in most cases. Challenges provide a unique an extremely powerful means of communication with interested users that allows them to think about your promotion, respond to it and tell others simultaneously. Use our platform to promote and grow your customer base by setting challenges that stimulate, reward and excite our users.
