Three steps. Then it runs itself.
Create the challenge
In the app, start a new challenge: name it, give it 7 days, and add Steps.
Set the rule
Add a daily rule for Steps — the day-one number, or the last day's if you want it hard. Adherence is worked out from what actually lands.
Hand out the code
The challenge is private until you share it. Everyone logs their own, and the board settles it.
How it is counted
Your watch or phone sends the day's total. Steps come from Fitbit, Apple Health and Health Connect every day, and from Garmin while a step challenge is on. Nothing to type.

Counted by the thing on your wrist.
