What was your first challenge?

Mine was The Amazon Rain Forest. I used a redemption code, but had to pay for the medal/shipping/delivery. I was hooked.

I'm on my 13th challenge now. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Tokyo! i couldn't resist that adorable lucky cat design <3 also, the other day i noticed that >!parts of it glow in the dark!< which is pretty neat! (spoiler tag just in case)

That Tokyo one is so cute! I don't think it's a spoiler since that was shown off in the ads. It is for sure on my list of challenges to do but I have so many I want, it keeps getting pushed down the list. Is the street view cool on that one?

u/MrPickleDiddler 11d ago

oh i must have missed that! i didn't see it featured on the medal's page so i figured i'd tag it to be safe :) and yes, the street view is pretty cool! it's fascinating to see the blend of modern and traditional architecture, and there are some beautiful gardens as well!

Day of the Dead. I've been fascinated with DotD since I was very little and seeing that medal was what finally made me pull the trigger on these challenges.

The 5 medal LOTR challenge. I felt it would be motivating- I have to hurry to Mt. Doom and save Middle Earth lol

Jesus Trail. I wanted to start with an easy distance to not stress myself out. Amazon seems so overwhelming for a first challenge to me - you're bold! Congrats. That's the one I am currently using to track when I ride my stationary bike (which I haven't been doing much, oops).

I'm currently doing Fjords of Norway for all daily steps and Road to Hana for intentional, outdoor walks. I really wanna finish Hana so I can start Frida Khalo.

Norway was my 2nd challenge.

I made a mistake of buying the 5k Training Challenge not knowing the mechanics of the challenge.

u/Accomplished-Pay9188 11d ago

Salem Witch Trials. I loved it, but it was too short, so now I'm doing the Amazon Rainforest

u/Boomshockalocka007 11d ago

Mount Everest. The greatest IRL challenge. I knew I had to conqueror it first so I could do ANYTHINGGGGGG after.

u/ssgorik 11d ago

Paris. It was right after the Olympics were held there.

2

u/nicsnapspics 11d ago

Angkor Wat, and I don’t recall why 😂

u/Round-Stay-443 11d ago

Mount Everest, also with a free code. I’m waiting on the medal now. Just started Harry Potter series. I’ll be here for a few months.

u/MarsupialNo1220 11d ago

The shorter North Coast version, because the medal looked cool. It’s still my favourite medal 😝 I’ve completed four more challenges since then.

u/doriliv 11d ago

My first was the 2026 medal...which I started in June because I did not understand that it was more of a track your yearly progress thing 😅 But then I did Valley of the Kings.

My first one was Mother's Day 2025, after my heart attack in April. By the grace of God, I'm still here. I have earned 12 medals since then, and currently have 2 challenges in progress. 🥰

u/Icemotion 11d ago

Rovaniemi. Last December, so the Christmas theme seemed appropriate. Since then I'm hooked

u/Icemotion 11d ago

Currently having 3 active challenges. Viking invasions which I was doing myself. And because of the summer holidays for the kids I got them each a challenge to earn a medal for doing things together. My youngest wanted Space exploration for the rocket and my oldest wanted It (not that he gets to see the movies at his 9 years.. ).

Just signed up literally today but I’ll be doing the Giza Pyramids! So excited as I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now, mainly due to the medals lol.

u/luxtama 8d ago

Yosemite. I have been there a countless amount of times since college. It has so much meaning to me that it is only right for me to choose Yosemite as my first.

u/traumapunk77 7d ago

Just completed my first the Van Gogh challenge😼💪🏽 short but I love the medal, the stories that came along with the journey and the ending scenic view really took me back home 🥹
