Engagement Challenges

Challenges are the heartbeat of Nudj. They are the specific tasks you want your users to perform—from simple surveys to complex multi-step social media campaigns. When a user completes a challenge, they are rewarded with Points, XP, and potentially Badges or tangible items.
The Goal: Move users from passive observation to active participation. The Reward: Instant gratification through Nudj’s automated reward system.

How a Challenge is Structured

Every challenge consists of three parts:

The Hook

A title and image that makes the user want to click. (See Content Best Practices)

The Actions

The actual steps the user must take (e.g., “Watch video”, “Answer quiz”, “Share on X”).

The Payout

The Points, XP, or Rewards the user receives instantly upon completion.

The Two Paths to Creation

Nudj offers two ways to build challenges, depending on your creative energy: Don’t know what to build? Ask Nudj AI.
  • “Create a 5-day onboarding streak for new users.”
  • “Draft 3 challenges about our new product launch.” The AI will generate the titles, find appropriate images, and configure the actions for you. (Learn more about Nudj AI)

Strategic Challenge Design

The “First Win” Principle

Your first challenge should be impossible to fail. A “Welcome to the Community” challenge that rewards users just for clicking a button builds immediate positive momentum.

Multi-Step Challenges

Break big tasks into small bites. Instead of one long challenge, create 3 short ones. Users are more likely to finish three 1-minute tasks than one 3-minute task.

Scheduling & Expiry

  • Limited Time: Create urgency by making a challenge expire in 48 hours.
  • Scheduled Drops: Build anticipation by scheduling challenges to go live every Monday morning.

Managing Your Challenges

In the Challenges List, you can track your success in real-time:
  • Views: How many people saw the “Hook”?
  • Starts: How many people clicked in?
  • Completions: How many people crossed the finish line?
Pro Move: If a challenge has high Views but low Starts, your title/image is good, but the “Hook” description isn’t convincing enough.
