If it makes people sprint, it is the wrong game
Points for speed turn a hide into a queue. A better loop is slower: unique animals, active days, or a Grade floor that rewards a careful photo.
What AnimalDex can run
A Sponsored Challenge can require a setting tag, a type tag, a minimum Grade, a venue radius, and live-only captures. It cannot, today, pay cash or run a prize pool. Join is free.
That is enough for a half-term program or a seasonal trail without inventing a park-branded mini-game you have to maintain.
Ideas that stay offline
Stamp cards, dawn-only walks, and “phones down at the hide” hours still belong. Use a digital Challenge when you want a shared rule set guests already understand from the app.
