Challenge Creation?

[+Former Hawkeye]

I would like to create a challenge (not a puzzle) and want to know how you can get project gc to help you?

The only challenges I have created was before they changed the rules.

Thanks in advance!

From what I understand, you go to the project gc Forum, where they have a special thread or subforum, just for requesting a Challenge Checker.  If one is already built for your purpose, it's pretty simple process to customize the Checker for your Listing page.  If not, one of the Developers will have to throw something together.  I'm not sure what the time frame for that is, but I haven't heard any complaints.

Keep in mind, the Developers are very well versed in the Challenge Guidelines.  If your concept is not allowed, they will tell you.

I personally own 7 challenge.

Here are the step required :

1 - Create a geocache listing but don't send it for reviewing.

2 - Go to https://project-gc.com/forum/list?8 and create a new topic with in the title of the thread your GC number from step 1 and a quick explanation of the challenge.

3 - Wait for the answer normally there are really quick to answer normally the same day and they will provide the required checker.

4 - Add the checker to your geocache listing and the cache is now ready for the reviewer.

PS : you need to be qualified yourself for the challenge and there are plenty of restriction see this link https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206 for more info about them.
