Creating a new Challenge

Note: This feature is available to Project Owners and Project Administrators on the Admin Dashboard. 

A Challenge is a piece of content that Players can interact with to complete an activity and earn points. Depending on the Challenge type, Players may submit text, upload a photo or video, answer a quiz, scan a QR Code, enter a passcode, make a prediction, or complete another type of action.
