We pride ourselves on the quality of the support we offer to our clients.

Our website includes a detailed self-serve help section with frequently asked questions, articles and frequently asked questions. A further help contact form will automatically send any challenge questions to your mailbox for your attention, while we will respond to any technical queries.

During the registration phase and the challenge itself we handle all technical inquiries which almost all of the time are minor user issues. This allows you to simply focus your attention on keeping your participants motivated during the challenge by sending out push notifications and emails to all participants as you wish.
