[Resolved] Need a Challenge Checker for a Geocaching Streak

I'm setting up a series of geocaching streak challenges and will require checkers for each one in order to publish them. I'm starting with a tongue-in-check requirement of 1 consecutive day, but will have a 90-day, a 180-day then a 420-day. I assume it's a matter of tweaking for each one?

I'd like to understand the constraints of what a geochecker can find, such as are events, AL's, etc. possible or do I need to specify which ones the geochecker is able to accept and therefore is the criteria of meeting the challenge.

Anyone know how I can get started with this request?

Acceptable:

Quote
Maintaining a finds streak, at least one find per day, up to 365 days.

Labs can be accepted as find for streak (its up to you). You must provide GC code for each challenge.

You are not allowed to limit your streak to only certain cache types like events. All finds will have to count.

While some reviewers allow to exclude Lab Caches from streaks, I would recommend to include them. Then the checker will show the same maximum streak length as the statistics page of the profile on geocaching.com.
We already had players logging a streak challenge with screenshots from their profile, because "the checker didn't work correctly" and they had a Labcache-only day in their streak that the checker didn't count.

I would prefer to include AL's in the streak count. I'm into the 800-days of a streak and many days are AL days, I just wasn't sure they could count.
Would events also count? Which I would prefer.

All cache types count include events. Maximum streak is 365 days.

Copy, regarding the 365 day limit. In that case I'd do the tongue-in-check 1 day (https://coord.info/GCB7CWF, which is lock, loaded and ready to go once I have a checker).

And then 42 days, 180, and then the full 365. (none of those are started yet, probably in the coming weeks)

How would I initiate a formal request to have the one checker done? I know it seems silly for a 1 day streak however the reviewer is mandating that a checker be included with every challenge.

Cheers!

Please create the challenge cache page (just a draft page) to get a GC code and include this GC code in this your request.

Okay, I've created drafts for the series. I'm assuming each different number is a small tweak, and it's more efficient to develop the checkers at one time. Based on that assumption...

Any log counts: Traditional, Mystery, Multi, Virtual, Earth, Adventure Lab, Event. If it's a log that counts in the total tally of finds it counts for the challenge.

GCB7CWF will require 1 day (I know, just one, but the reviewer mandates a check for them all)

GCB7PTG will require 42 days

GCB7PTX will require 180 days

GCB7PVM will require 365 days

Is that all that needed for the request?

Here are the links for
GCB7PTG will require 42 days https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB7PTG/101081

GCB7PTX will require 180 days https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB7PTX/101083

GCB7PVM will require 365 days https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB7PVM/101084

But GCB7CWF you can not have a streak checker for 1 day
You can only ask for 1 cache with no time restriction https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB7CWF/101085
or for a streak of 2 days https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCB7CWF/101082

Please tell what you prefer

Thank you for all of those! I've updated the cache pages and submitted for review.
Folks should have some fun with these :)

I went with the checker for the single day. That one was intended to provide a bit of levity and be achievable for anyone, and keeping it one day is just, well, it's just fun.

Thank you again! <3
