Challenge Categories

Buddzy offers 6 optional categories when creating a Challenge. Categories help friends know what to expect and make Trending easier to browse.

When you create a Challenge, you can tag it with a category to give friends a heads-up about what kind of response you're looking for. Categories are optional, but they make your Challenge clearer and help it get discovered on the Trending page.

The 6 Categories

  • Scavenger — Find or collect something specific. "Show me the oldest thing in your room" or "Find something blue in under 60 seconds." These get people moving and hunting.

  • Creativity — Make, draw, or build something original. Could be a doodle, a fit check, a weird food combo, or anything that flexes your creative muscles.

  • Opinion — Share your hot take or perspective. Controversial food rankings, unpopular opinions, and "would you rather" scenarios all live here. Expect debates.

  • Hype — Get hyped, celebrate, bring the energy. Hype Challenges are about enthusiasm — showing excitement for something, hyping up a friend, or just being unhinged in the best way.

  • Vulnerability — Share something real or personal. These are the deeper ones — a fear, a memory, something you've never told anyone. They build genuine connection.

  • Custom — Anything that doesn't fit the others. If your Challenge is too unique or too weird for the standard categories, Custom has you covered.

Why Categories Matter

Categories help your friends decide whether they want to jump in before reading the full prompt. Someone in the mood for a laugh will gravitate toward Hype. Someone feeling reflective might pick Vulnerability.

On the Trending page, public Challenges can be filtered by category, making it easy to find exactly the type of content you're looking for. If you want your Challenge to get more forks from strangers, picking the right category helps it reach the right audience.
