How can teams compete against each other?

In April 2026, Challenge Hound implemented a much simpler and easy way to host team vs team challenges. Instead of having to create a group and multiple challenges per team, the set up now is just a single challenge with internal teams. Here are steps to set up a new team vs team challenge:

1. Create a challenge
2. In the Admin menu of the newly created challenge, click the Teams option
3. Add teams with logos and custom names. Sub-teams are also supported.
4. Send out challenge invites from the Invite page. When participants head to join a challenge, they'll select a team to join.
5. If participants do NOT pick a team, admins can always go to the Participants page (under Admin options) and assign participants to teams and sub-teams.

What you get with team vs team challenges:

• Single challenge with individual and team progress
• Leaderboards show teams and can be filtered by team
• Activity posts show participant teams on a unified feed
• Maps can be configured to be team based on individual based.
• If the challenge is set up as a cooperative challenge with a set goal, then each team strives to complete the set goal and receives notifications or emails upon completion.

The process below is deprecated in favor of the above.

If you'd like to have teams compete, then you can create a unique group and then have a challenge per team. All the team challenges in this group will have the same parameters, but you'd name them differently. For example:

Then there is a results option, where you can track how the teams are all doing against one another. Here is an example of the group results:
