## Understanding Claimr challenges

A challenge is a focused objective or set of tasks that users can undertake within your campaign. It adds an element of excitement and competition, encouraging users to go above and beyond the standard campaign activities.

### Benefits of using challenges

**Increased engagement**: Provide an extra layer of gamification, encouraging users to participate more actively in your campaigns.

**Targeted actions**: Design challenges to drive specific user actions, such as completing tasks, exploring content, or making referrals.

**Rewarding achievements**: Provide a sense of accomplishment and reward users for their efforts.

Challenges are presented to users as interactive tiles within the Claimr widget. These tiles include:

**Challenge name and description**: A brief description of the challenge and what users need to do to complete it.

**Reward**: Clearly displays the reward that users will earn for completing the challenge.

**Progress counter**: A visual indicator that shows the user's progress towards completing the challenge.

## How users interact with challenges

Users view the challenge tile in the widget. They attempt to complete the challenge requirements. The challenge tile's progress bar updates as the user makes progress. Once the user completes the challenge, they receive the associated reward.
