Here’s how to set up a challenge or quest: #
- Click ‘Choose’ on the template you want to use
- Take note of the ‘Rules’ at the top of the template, this will let you know the point system or quest requirements
- Set start and end dates for the challenge
- Edit the Title, Description, Prize Title and Prize Description fields
- Select if you would like it to be a team or individual challenge (quests are individual only)
- If team, select if random or manually assigned team
- If random, Bright Breaks members from your org will be assigned randomly and automatically if they have taken a break in the last 30 days or once they take their first break during the challenge
- If manually assigned, manage teams by naming teams and adding email addresses of those who you assign to each team
- Please ensure the email addresses are correct and the same email address they would use to log in with Bright Breaks
- Determine if you would like the challenge to be limited to the members of the teams only or not using the toggle at the top of the team management page. If the team challenge is not limited, other members of your organization will be able to participate and be added to a team randomly
- Please note, teams will not appear in the leaderboard until the challenge begins
- If individual, determine if you would like the challenge or quest to be open to all of your organization members or a select group by toggling visibility open to all being on or off.
- Hit Publish when ready to go live.
- No automated messaging will be sent directly from Bright Breaks about your quest or challenge to your org members
- The challenge or quest leaderboard will be able to be previewed by your org members in their Challenges tab
How can I promote challenges and quests to my org? #
- Click ‘Promo’ in the tile of the quest or challenge after a draft is saved or it is published
- Use the Canva template and dynamic scripts to create announcements for your organization
- No communication comes directly from Bright Breaks to promote the challenge or quest.
How can I see the results outside of the leaderboard? #

How do I assign an ‘Advocate’ to run challenges or quests? #
- Head to the ‘Teams’ tab in the champion portal and click ‘Add Advocate’
- Choose whether or not they will be able to run challenges or quests for all organization members or a specific group
- If you would like them to only be able to run challenges for a specific group, like a department, enter the email addresses of those who will be able to be included in the challenges the Advocate runs
- Click ‘Invite Advocate’ and they will receive an email with instructions
- Advocates will only have visibility of the Challenges tab of the champion portal as applicable to them
Other Functionality
- Editing/Deleting. Can be done before any participation is captured. Once someone participates, you can no longer edit or delete the challenge.
- Simultaneous challenges. You CAN run multiple challenges simultaneously.
Here’s what the challenge and quest feature doesn’t do (yet):
- Let you customize the point system or quest requirements (the Rules section)
- Choose winners (you need to do this yourself based on the participation data)
- Do automated prize fulfillment – if you purchase gift cards through Bright Breaks for prizes, please reach out to and we will fulfill for you!
- Backfill points if you choose a challenge start date prior to today.
