Time-limited Challenge

[AZcachemeister]

Posted in another thread, and my post got me wondering...

 

Are there/has anyone seen a time-limited challenge...as in an Event cache?

 

I suppose it might get 'shot-down' before getting off the ground.

 

Is this a viable concept, or (more likely) pointless?

I have seen some. Actually, I've seen a few listed that were done for the Groundspeak Block Party, and the challenge specified that they could *only* be completed during the Block Party. I'll admit that this leaves me scratching my head--should those challenges be flagged as "unplayable" now that they can no longer be done? So it seems to me that it's technically okay to have a time limited one, but how long the community will allow it to stand is anybody's guess.

also seen time limited "challenge caches" like one that wants you to find 10 caches next February 29th. So, seen both.

I don't think this is what you mean, but:

It has a time of day limit.

 

Here's another one based on time:

I've seen others that do too (excluding night caches).

I was talking about the new 'Challenge' feature, not physical caches.
