Bounty

Put a challenge on the board.

A reusable progression system that turns a public space, activation or programme into an evolving challenge board. The rules are clear, the difficulty is visible, the reward is waiting — step forward, beat the challenge and claim the bounty.

The challenge

Most programmes end the day they finish. The next month needs a new idea, a new budget and a new audience.

What we built

A named, portable engagement system that can be dropped into a mall, sports festival, school, community event or brand activation without being rebuilt each time. The challenge changes. The structure stays.

How people participate

People step forward, test a skill, watch other challengers, improve, return, raise the standard — and claim recognition or a reward.

How Bounty works

1. Posted

The challenge is posted.

2. Clear

The rules and reward are clear.

3. Accepted

A challenger accepts.

4. Witnessed

The attempt is witnessed or verified.

5. Claimed

Beat it. Claim the bounty. Maybe unlock the next level.

6. Chased

The result gives others a new standard to chase.

What can be earned

Rewards are set by the organiser, never staked by participants: fixed prizes, sponsor-funded rewards, recognition and titles, points or progression, access to a harder challenge, record-board placement, or event-specific rewards.

A tested mechanic

The Blindfolded Ninja Trial: could a challenger complete it without sight? Taking away sight changed a familiar obstacle completely. People understood the challenge immediately — and wanted to see who would try it.
