How the challenge wheel works in Quota

By the Quota team · Updated

Short answer: A challenge wheel is an optional extra a group adds on top of its daily goal. On a schedule, everyone spins it to land on a challenge, like a cold shower or a plank, and how many days to do it. Whoever made the wheel decides whether leaving it unfinished breaks your streak, and you can sit out one round.

Why use a wheel

A daily goal is the backbone of a habit, but doing the same thing for months gets dull. A wheel adds a short, random challenge on top, so the group has something new to talk about without changing the main goal.

How it works

  1. Someone in the group makes a wheel and fills it with challenges, like "cold shower", "1-minute plank" or "no sugar".
  2. They set how often it runs, for example every seven days.
  3. On a spin day, everyone spins before they post. The wheel lands on a challenge and how many days to do it.
  4. You do the challenge alongside your daily quota, and show it in your proof.

Rules worth knowing

  • Everyone in the group can see what's on the wheel, since everyone has to spin it.
  • The wheel's maker decides whether an unfinished challenge breaks your streak.
  • You can sit out one round if the timing is bad.
  • The spin-day reminder arrives in your morning, wherever you are.
