A small update regarding challenges

Alright, time to admit something. Challenges have gotten crazy at Desert Bus. Last year it was nearly impossible to get a challenge in, so this year we’re changing things up a little. Here’s how the new challenge system will work:

To recap, here are the main points of our new challenge system:
  • Challenges are now free, no donations required! If you enjoy our performance of a challenge, you can donate what you feel is appropriate afterwards. We like to think of this as “busquing style” challenges.
  • Challenges will be open at all times.
  • Challenges appear randomly: our system will pull up 5-10 random challenges out of those recently submitted, we’ll do the ones we can, then hit refresh to see a new randomly selected set of challenges.
  • Challenges that have been submitted but not completed will be cleared on a regular basis. You can resubmit your challenge if it did not get done.
  • A small number of especially big, especially awesome challenges will be crowd-sourced, like before. You’ll be able to mark a donation as counting towards that particular challenge. We’ll do these challenges once they accumulate enough donations.
