# Create a Community Challenge
> Inspire your members to take action together with Challenges in your Community.
**Challenges** are activities, assignments, or check-ins that your Community can participate in together. Use them to drive engagement, accountability, and growth.
## What is a Community Challenge?
A challenge in your Community is an activity, assignment, or check-in that your community can participate in together.
### What is a Challenge Series?
A Challenge Series is a collection of challenges.
### 2 types of challenges
A **one-time challenge** is a single challenge (*e.g., Night Photography Challenge, Social Media Detox Challenge).*
A **recurring challenge** is a challenge that repeatedly occurs daily, weekly, or even monthly *(e.g., 14-Day Networking Challenge).*

### Create challenges that engage a community
* Give your community members some quick advice on how to best start the challenge.
* Be simple and brief when describing the challenge.
* Give your challenge specific numbers or measurements ("List 5 goals", "Read ten pages", "Walk 30 minutes", etc.).
* Ask your community to upload photos, drop emojis, leave comments, or provide some other proof that the challenge has been completed.
* Encourage interaction and support between members.
* Attach guides, like worksheets or YouTube videos.
* Offer prizes.
* Don't make the challenge too difficult. Typically, challenges shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to be accomplished in one sitting.
* Provide a short video or cool photo along with the text of the challenge.
* Recommend that challenges are paired with things they already do, like writing in their journal right after brushing their teeth.
* For multi-day challenges, gradually increase intensity (i.e. read for 5 minutes on Day 1, 10 minutes on Day 2, and 15 minutes on Day 3).
* Let them know the direct benefits of completing the challenge.
* Do the same challenges alongside your members if you can.
