The AppFront Challenge Library: Five Challenge Types Explained

Webinar recap: a rundown of the five challenge types available in AppFront and which sales or engagement problem each one is built to fix.

Written by Sarah Appfront

AppFront's challenge library covers five distinct challenge types. Each one is built to move a different number, so start by identifying what you're actually trying to fix before picking one.

  • Frequency / visit challenges — build a repeat-visit habit, e.g. "visit 3 times in 30 days." A good starting point if you want more regular traffic, especially during a specific day part.

  • Spend challenges — raise average ticket by rewarding a spend threshold, either a single check total or cumulative spend across a window. A good starting point if your KPI is ticket average rather than visit count.

  • Product / menu challenges — cross-educate guests on your menu by requiring purchases across different items or categories, breaking customers out of their usual order.

  • Day-part challenges — target a specific slow window (a lunch rush, a late-night slot) to build traffic there instead of relying on a blanket discount.

  • Multi-step / event challenges — combine several of the above into one challenge with a clear start and end date, marketed like a real event (e.g. a 30-day restaurant challenge or a VIP challenge).

Each of these is covered in more depth in its own article — this one is meant as the map of what's available before you start building.
