Official Habitica Challenges

Official Habitica Challenges are Challenges created by Habitica's staff in the "Habitica Official" category. They often have multiple winners. Some have Gem prizes for one or more winners or give other special prizes. Some are repeated each year.
==Take This Challenges==
The Take This Challenge Series was announced on June 9, 2016, and was designed by Take This, a nonprofit organisation that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
There are ten challenges in the series and each one runs for a month. The series is repeated when the tenth challenge finishes.
When each Take This challenge ends, every participant is given one piece of the Take This Armor Set (except for players who have already earned all of the pieces in the set). These are ladder rewards—the first challenge you participate in gives you the Shield, and so on. Additionally, the winner of each monthly challenge receives 10 Gems, and five runners-up receive 2 Gems each.
There is only one active Take This challenge each month but archived copies of all the challenges can be found in the 📜 Library Tasks and Challenges guild. Players can join those archived challenges at any time to give themselves copies of the challenge tasks but those archived challenges will never have winners.
===It's Dangerous to Go Alone!===
Social connections are a valuable strength that can help us get through the tough times and make the good times even better. Your TakeThis.org challenge for this month is to build and/or strengthen your social networks!

===Check Your HP!===
"Check Your HP!" challenges participants to record their mood over time and look for patterns. User "Mocó, o Matusael" shared a chart by the Center for Quality Assessment and Improvement in Mental Health useful for this challenge.
==== Challenge Description ====
Fighting against anxiety and depression can be difficult, but we have the advantage if we know the battlefield. On a piece of paper or digital file, evaluate your mood -- in descriptive terms, or on a numeric scale like 1-10 or 0-100 -- three times a day. At the end of the week, review your results and see if you can notice any patterns. If you used a numeric scale, you can make a graph! When we find these patterns, our depression and anxieties won't have anywhere to hide.
This Challenge is designed to help you track your mood! Simply complete the Daily and the Habit for greater insight into your feelings.

This is a Challenge created in partnership with Take This, a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Physical fitness is so important for our physical and mental health. However, a lot of us hate to exercise when we'd rather be doing something that involves a controller or mouse in our hands. One way to make fitness easier is to have a workout partner/accountabilibuddy. Having at least one more person there can make it easier to work out regularly!

This is a Challenge created in partnership with Take This, a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
For many of us, our struggles stay hidden behind a smiling face. This contributes to our "suffering in silence" and the faulty belief that everyone else has it together when we don't. Help break the stigmatization for yourself and your community! For this Challenge, whenever you're having a tough time, reach out to someone and let them know. Not only might you get the support you need, but you'll also help break the silence and kick mental health stigma to the curb!

=== Don't Be a Completionist! ===
The thirteenth challenge in this series, "Don't Be a Completionist!", focuses on prioritizing tasks and goals. Got an overwhelmingly long to-do list? Which of those tasks are your crucial storyline objectives, and which ones are just side quests? This Take This challenge is about prioritization!
==== Challenge Description ====
This is a Challenge created in partnership with Take This, a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
When you've got a long list of things you'd like to get done, thinking of them all as equally important can be an easy mistake to make. Sure, some things are essential, but some things aren’t, kind of like side quests! If we treat everything as a top priority, we can get overwhelmed, maybe even losing motivation to do anything at all. This month’s TakeThis.org challenge is to learn to prioritize the things we must do and give less attention to what is less important.

=== Achievement Unlocked: Self-Care ===
It takes energy to help others, so we need to make sure we have that energy to give, which is why it’s important to take care of ourselves. This TakeThis.org challenge is to practice ongoing self-care! View archived copy
====Challenge Description====
This is a Challenge created in partnership with Take This, a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
When we're focused on the needs of others we care about, it can be tempting to sacrifice our own needs. Sometimes people view taking care of ourselves as “selfish”. This is a silly idea! It takes energy to help others, so we need to make sure we have that energy to give, which is why it’s important to take care of ourselves. Our TakeThis.org challenge this month is to practice ongoing self-care!
====Prizes====
*All participants receive a piece of the Take This Armor Set when the Challenge ends (unless you have it all already)!
*One winner receives the 10 Gem prize.
*Five runners-up receive 2 Gems each.
*Winners and runners-up get challenge Achievements.
*To be eligible for prizes, complete one or more Challenge tasks and stay enrolled in the Challenge to the end!

=== Do One Thing Well ===
Even if you’re good at doing multiple things at once, the likelihood is that you’re even better if you can focus on one. This TakeThis.org challenge is to practice doing one thing at a time! View archived copy.
==== Challenge Description ====
We hear a lot of people claim to be multitaskers. Some people admit they don’t multitask well. The reality is that no one is as effective at doing things if their attention is split between multiple tasks. Even if you’re good at doing multiple things at once, the likelihood is that you’re even better if you can focus on one thing at a time. This month’s TakeThis.org challenge is to practice keeping your attention on one thing at a time!

===Playing the Long Con!===
The "Playing the Long Con!" challenge began on July 7, 2016. The tasks are designed to help participants stay healthy during convention season, so players can join and leave it as necessary.
The challenge is available here - Playing the Long Con!
==== Challenge Description ====
This is a Challenge created in partnership with Take This, a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.
Convention season is upon us! They are so much fun. They are also so much energy, and we have to keep up our energy and self-care in order to get the most out of them. An hour of self-care now might mean we don’t burnout later and end up missing out on several hours of fun. Cons are a marathon, not a sprint, and we need to pace ourselves. Ironically, by slowing down, we can see, do more, and we might not get the Crud!

==== Challenge Description ====
The Community Costume Challenge is back! Between now and October 31st, dress up as your avatar in real life and post a photo on social media to earn the coveted Costume Challenge badge. Be sure to link to Habitica in your post!
To be eligible:
*You must be recognizably dressed as your Habitica avatar or as an in-game character. (No, just wearing a colored T-shirt doesn't count!)
*Take a picture of yourself in your costume and post it on any social media website with a link back to Habitica's website or mobile apps. You can also use our hashtag, HabiticaCostumeChallenge Please include an image of your avatar as well as of you in your costume- the entry is not eligible for the badge if you don't include both.
*Once you've posted the picture, put a link to your post in the Notes section of the Challenge To-Do. Be sure that it's a link that can be publicly viewed. If you do not include a link, or we can't view it, you may not be eligible for your badge (it's OK to check off the To-Do, we can still see it!).
*All entries will be eligible to be featured on Habitica's social media accounts unless otherwise specified. If you would prefer not to have your entry featured, write "DO NOT SHARE" in the Notes field next to the link to your entry. Alternatively, if you would like us to include a special link or comment when we share your costume, you can also specify that in the Notes field.
*After October 31st, it may take us several days to sort through the results of the Challenge, but there will be an announcement when everyone has received their badge. If you participated in the past, the number on your badge will stack.
*Looking for inspiration? Check out past entries and other Habitica cosplays on our tumblr!
If you have any additional questions, email Beffymaroo at beth[at]habitica.com! We can't wait to see your costumes.
