The pack, from preparation to Christmas
Here is how the ready-to-launch pack runs. With the tailored option, we adapt it to your organisation and goals.
Get ready
You choose your prizes and share the communication kit. In-app sign-up reminders start on 26 November.
Open the first door
Your employees join the calendar in the app. Every day, a goal of 24 points awaits them, about 24 minutes of activity.
Try your luck
As soon as the daily goal is reached, everyone instantly finds out if they have won a prize. Daily notifications keep the momentum going.
Celebrate
The calendar closes on Christmas Eve. You share the results with your teams before the holidays.

Every day, an employee who reaches the 24-point goal instantly finds out if they have won a prize. You choose the prizes and their budget: goodies, company perks or anything else. As an option, an email informs the winners. As with any game with prizes, plan a set of rules and have it checked by your legal team.
No. All activities count except daily steps, and 24 points is about 24 minutes of activity a day. Everyone chooses what suits them.
Yes. Everything happens in the mobile app, wherever your employees are. Everyone takes part from their site, branch or home, at a time that suits them.
The calendar is based on activity challenges and prizes, open to everyone. With the tailored option, you can also present it as an end-of-year calendar. We adapt the tone with you.
