What is Challenge Spin?
Challenge Spin is a random challenge generator. Spin the wheel and it gives you one small, real-world challenge: something concrete that gets you out of your routine, like exploring a street you’ve never walked down, calling an old friend or watching the sunrise. Think of it as a side quest for real life.
How it works
- Spin the wheel. It picks a random challenge from the Core wheel.
- Accept it, or spin again. You get three spins a week, so you’re never stuck with one that isn’t for you.
- Do it now, or save it for later. Saved challenges wait for you. No deadline.
- Tap “I did it” and share it if you like. New spins unlock every Monday.
