The short answer
To run a group challenge, pick one shared goal, write a short list of daily tasks, decide what proof counts, invite your friends, and let everyone see progress in one place. Keep the list short so people can finish it.
Step 1: Pick one goal and a clear end
Challenges fail when the goal is vague. Choose something specific, such as a daily study session or a daily workout, and decide how long it runs.
Step 2: Create the room
In Aksa, a group challenge lives in an Action Room. The host sets the title, cover, tasks and resources. Rooms have Action, Resources, Progress and Setting tabs, and can run in Private, Group or Host mode.
Step 3: Set the proof rule
Pick one proof format for the daily task so everyone does the same thing. Photo, written answer, count, timer, presence check and confirm are all available. Members submit their own proof.
- One shared goal
- Three or fewer daily tasks
- One proof format per task
- A clear end date
Step 4: Invite people
Invite connections or copy the room's invite link. People who join through it enter the host's shared room, so nobody ends up in a duplicate.
Step 5: Keep it alive
Members get push notifications for room events, including chat messages and when someone completes a milestone, so friends can cheer. The Progress tab shows a member heatmap and completion history, which makes it easy to see who is falling behind. The host can post announcements and review submissions.
