Frequently asked questions
How do I join a Challenge?
Currently since 1st of Jan 2026 new Challenges are put on pause as TheChallenge.Org transitions into a non-profit organisation focused on sharing the scientific results learned from the 12 Challenges of 2025. You are however free to browse the previous Challenges in the Challenges tab in the menu and try them at any point and according to your liking.
Where are the instructions for a Challenge?
All necessary instructions are always found on the page of a particular challenge. Just however over the "Challenges" item in the top navigation bar and choose the Challenge you are looking the instructions for. If you haven't received the email 1 day prior to the Challenge don't worry! The email only contains a part of the message which is included on the Challenge page anyway. But the instructions are really extremely simple. For the "10.000 Steps Challenge" it could be "Just walk at least 10000 steps per day". For the "Meditation Challenge" it would be "Just sit and meditate for 15 minutes a day, anywhere, at any time, with any meditation method you can find online".
Where are the Challenges happening?
All Challenges can be done from your location. Each Challenge is done in such a way that there is no particular location to attend to.
At what time during the day do I have to do a Challenge?
Challenges can be done at any time during the day, whether it's morning, evening, or mid day. Though it is much easier to stick to a routine in the morning as mornings can be typically controlled whereas the evening tends to be more chaotic and have unscheduled tasks that need attending.
Is this FREE?
Yes, all challenges are and always will be free to join and participate in.

Is this a non-profit organization?
TheChallenge.Org is a for-knowledge organisation. The organisation is not a typical non-profit. It will have an optional donation model for people wanting to support it and help cover the cost of operations.
Who are the people behind this project?
Karol Banaszkiewicz, our founder, is a seasoned technologist and lifelong health-hacker who noticed a glaring gap in how we track the real effects of daily routines. Driven by a passion for data-backed self-improvement, he committed his own time and resources to launching TheChallenge.Org—to rigorously measure how habits shape our physical and mental well-being.
