Step challenges are a fun and easy way to get your team happy, moving and motivated in the workplace.
Convert your walking, running and other activities into distance along one of our 300+ virtual routes.
Our website as well as our iPhone and Android apps allow your participants to get into teams, track their daily step count, compete on leaderboards and move themselves along one of our 300+ virtual maps.
Creating a fun health initiative is a simple and cost effective way to engage with your employees and increase motivation in the workplace, not to mention that it's a great way of boosting mental and physical wellbeing. With the addition of achievements and team leaderboards you can now help encourage some friendly competition between your teams!
Getting started takes a few minutes and we'll always be happy to help answer any questions you might have about the system.
In order to help encourage some friendly rivalry in your challenge you can choose to enable several different leaderboards for teams and individuals. These will allow your users to keep track of their team's overall position, their individual progress and even create a leaderboard of their favourite teams.
Departments, locations or other 'segments' can also now compete against each other in their own unique leaderboards.
Watch the video below to find out more.
When you set up your challenge you can choose to enable one leaderboard or all three, it's entirely up to you and what you think works best for your workplace.
Teams: Total Distance
A list of all of your teams as well as their total distances.
Teams: Average Distance
This also displays all of your teams, but this time displays their average total based on the number of people on their team.
So a team of 3 can compete evenly against a team of 10.
Individuals: Total Distance
Instead of displaying all of the teams, this leaderboard shows all of the individual users from every team.
All of our step challenges track your daily progress along a virtual route that stops off at interesting and unusual milestones along the way.
We've had a great response from our users explaining how much they enjoy learning about somewhere new around the world, all while they get out their daily exercise.
With our two challenge modes 'Teams Vs Teams' or 'One Big Challenge', you can choose to set up your step challenge so that each team is either competing against each other, or working together to combine all of their steps.
Teams Vs Teams (most popular)
Our most popular mode and the easiest to set up; Teams vs Teams allows your participants to get into smaller teams and compete against each other on a leaderboard. This mode is a fun way to build some friendly competition and inspire daily physical activity.
One Big Challenge
All of your participants still get into teams, but now every team's total is pooled together to move everyone along the virtual map at the same time. This is a great way of seeing more of the world as you can cover much greater distances together!

We're constantly trying to improve Big Team Challenge and enhance the experience of both you–as the organiser–and that of your participants. Our ultimate goal is to create a system that is easy to use, fun to engage with and helps to build a healthy attitude towards daily exercise.

Let us help get your teams more active this year with a daily step count challenge.
Participants track their daily activities, such as walking to work, jogging around the park, or taking the dog out for a walk, and convert those steps into progress along a virtual route around the world.
When you set up your challenge you will choose which route your participants are aiming to complete.
