The Cake side quest

A distance quest of up to 5 days that shares a pot of points between the members of an Every Effort challenge.

A Cake is a side quest in an Every Effort challenge. It runs for up to 5 days on top of your daily points.

The Cake has a size in km and a pot of points. Every km that you walk, run or hike takes a slice of the Cake. When the Cake is gone, the quest ends.

How a Cake pays

  • The pot is the size in km times 100 points. It is never less than 800 points.
  • Each km pays the pot divided by the size. That is 100 points for a Cake of 8 km or more. The Cake page shows the points for each km.
  • The Cake goes first come, first served, in sync order. You take the km that you sync before the Cake is gone.
  • Your points go into your challenge total at each sync.
  • Cake that is left when the time is up is not paid.

Which km count

  • The walk, run and hike km that Health records for your day count, with or without a workout.
  • Km of a ride, swim, row, paddle, ski, snowboard, skate, sail, surf, water polo, dive, paragliding or wheelchair session do not count.
  • The Cake does not count km from before it starts.
  • If you join during the Cake, your km count from the day that you join.
  • Km from a workout in review count only if a referee approves it while the Cake is open.

When a Cake runs
