This article guides Nutrogen admins through the process of creating, monitoring, and assigning challenges for end-users and competitions between individual branches. Learn how to define scoring methods, select task components, and track engagement.

Navigating to Challenges

To manage challenges, log in to the Nutrogen platform and navigate to the Gamification section in the left-hand menu, then select Challenges. (Screenshot at 0:08 shows the menu path).

Creating an End-User Challenge

End-user challenges are designed to encourage individual users to hit specific wellness and nutrition goals.

  1. Click the New Challenge button. (Screenshot at 0:31 shows the button to click).

  2. Basics: Select a challenge template or start from scratch. Enter a Challenge Name, choose the Length (ranging from 1 to 12 weeks or custom), and select a Scoring Method (Cumulative Points, Task Completion, Longest Streak, or Consistency Score).

  3. Components: Select a Pillar (Wellness, Nutrition, Activity, Sleep, or Readiness) and choose specific tasks (e.g., "Daily Weigh-in"). (Visual at 1:24 shows task selection).

    • Adjust the required frequency, such as a specific number of times per week or a percentage of days.

  4. Visibility: Decide if the challenge should be visible to all branches, hidden, or limited to specific branches under your organization.

  5. Click Launch Challenge.

Creating a Branch-vs-Branch Competition

Branch competitions allow individual branches within your organization to compete against one another based on the collective performance of their members.

  1. Click the Branch Competition button. (Screenshot at 2:05 shows the button to click).

  2. Basics: Enter the competition name and length.

  3. Tasks: Choose the pillars and specific tasks that will count toward the branch's score.

  4. Ranking & Rewards: Select how branches will be ranked:

    • Sum of end-user points: Favors larger branches with more members.

    • Average points per active user: The "fairness option" where branch size doesn't automatically determine the winner.

    • Participation rate: Based on the percentage of users completing targets.

  5. Select Who gets rewarded (Top Branch, Top 3, or all branches hitting a target) and click Create Competition. (Visual at 2:40).
