Note:
New weekly challenges will begin each Monday.
You can only participate in the weekly challenges once per week for each challenge for free.
If you fail to complete the weekly challenge you are participating in, it will end the following Monday and you will be able to participate in a new weekly challenge.
If you complete a weekly challenge in the middle of the week, you can try it again by using a weekly challenge ticket. For more information, please see this article "Weekly Challenge Ticket".
The end time of the challenge is determined by the time zone of the user who first created the group. Please note that the challenge period may be shorter depending on the time difference between you and the members of the group you joined.
For information shared with other users when you participate in a weekly challenge, please see ”Information shared when you participate in a challenge with a group” in this article.
The indicator that appears on the Mii icon to show that it is your friend will be visible only to yourself.
Type of groups
You can play the weekly challenges in the groups of up to 5 people. The types of groups are as follows.

Group With Anyone
If you choose “Group With Anyone”, you will randomly form groups with other users who have selected the same type of group.
Note:
You can also send friend requests to users who have joined your group.
Members will be determined after participation.
You can not invite friends to “Group With Anyone”.
The end time of the challenge is determined by the time zone of the user who first created the group. Please note that the challenge period may be shorter depending on the time difference between you and the members of the group you joined.

How to quit a weekly challenge midway:
If you want to quit a weekly challenge in the middle of it, tap "Quit" at the bottom of the screen of the group you are participating in. If you quit a weekly challenge midway, your achievements will be deleted from the group.
If you would like to start a new weekly challenge, please see "How to participate" above. Only the achievements gained after joining the new group will be reflected in the new weekly challenge.
How to invite friends to join a group:
If a group you have joined still has spaces, you can invite your friends to join.
Tap the "Invite Friends" button at the bottom of the screen of the group you have joined.
Select the friends you want to invite from the friends list. You can only select users who are eligible to participate in the weekly challenge.
Note:
- You can not invite friends to “Group With Anyone”.
The invitation can only be canceled by the user who sent it.
If the user who sent the invitation leaves the group, the invitation will be automatically canceled.
If the user who sent the invitation and invitee have become unfriend, the invitation will be automatically canceled.
The space will be blocked until the invited friend joins the group or joins another group thus declining the invitation.
You will not be able to invite friends who are participating in other weekly challenges or who have reached the limit of invitations received.
Join the group you are invited to:
The challenge list shows a list of weekly challenges you can participate in. If there is a challenge you have been invited to, the friend who has invited you will be displayed below the weekly challenge.
When you select a weekly challenge, the groups you have been invited to will be displayed. To accept the invitation, join the group.
If you do not want to join the invited group, swipe to select another group and join it.
Note on receiving rewards
Some of the items awarded upon completion of the weekly challenge may exceed your current storage limits. In this case, you can choose to "Release" or "Receive Later" the amount that exceeds your storage limits.
If you choose "Receive Later”, make sure to use enough of the items to receive the excess amount within 3 days of the completion of the weekly challenge, otherwise the pending rewards will be automatically released.
To start a new weekly challenge of the same type, you must receive or release the "Receive Later" reward.
- You will be able to receive your rewards until 23:59 on Sunday of the following week during which you participated in a Weekly Challenge. If you pass the deadline, the completion screen won’t be shown for challenges, and rewards won’t be available for receipt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Steps are not added to the step challenge (even when the steps in the lifelog increase, they are not added to the challenge).
The step count displayed in the Lifelog is linked to Apple Health/Google Fit, and the app or device function may automatically adjust and deduct the steps that are counted too many. On the other hand, the steps in the step challenge, once added, will not decrease. Even if the steps in Apple Health/Google Fit decrease, the steps in the Step Challenge will remain the same and will be counted again once your actual step count exceeds that number.
