Does my challenge have to be for a full 24 hours?
- Your challenge doesn't have to be 24 hours.
- Rather than going solo for a 24-hour marathon, we recommend Gamers and Crafters team up for relays with friends.
- If disrupting your routine could negatively impact your mood or wellbeing, we recommend doing your challenge for a shorter time or spreading it out over a few days.
