What’s stopping someone from cheating?

There are no prizes for first place.
If someone wants to cheat then they are only really cheating themselves and wasting their money.

Do THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges cover the books or the movies?
Both THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenge Series were designed based on THE LORD OF THE RINGS film trilogy.
The 5 THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges focus on Frodo’s journey and the 3 The Return of the King Virtual Challenges focus on Aragorn's journey.
What does it mean that THE LORD OF THE RINGS challenges are locked?
The challenges inside Frodo or Aragorn’s journeys must each be completed in sequential order, hence you can start the next challenge in the series only after you complete at least 90% of the previous one.
Start either in the Shire by following Frodo’s journey with the 5 THE LORD OF THE RINGS Challenges, or in Rohan, following Aragorn with the 3 The Return of the King Challenges.
Only those with the determination and bravery to see the journey through to its end will be able to claim the final medal.
You can either acquire one challenge or both THE LORD OF THE RINGS and The Return of the King Series as bundles. You can also acquire the ULTIMATE THE LORD OF THE RINGS BUNDLE which includes both series, with eight challenges in total.

Do I have to complete THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges, in order to join The Return of the King Virtual Challenges?
No, this is not mandatory. You can start The Return of the King Virtual Challenges even if you have not yet completed any of THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges. You can also progress through each series at the same time.
Start either in the Shire by following Frodo’s journey with the 5 THE LORD OF THE RINGS Challenges, or in Rohan, following Aragorn with the 3 The Return of the King challenges.
To make it to the end of each series, you must complete their respective challenges in sequential order.
What is the difference between THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges Series and The Return of the King Virtual Challenges Series?
THE LORD OF THE RINGS Challenge Series follows Frodo from the peaceful Shire to barren Mordor through 5 virtual challenges.
The Return of the King Challenge Series follows Aragorn from Rohan to Gondor through 3 virtual challenges.
Although it doesn't matter what series you start with, you have to complete their challenges in sequential order.
How do I access the challenges once I’ve signed up? Can I use the Join codes purchased for THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges, to enter The Return of the King Virtual Challenges Series?
The best way to enjoy our Conqueror Challenges is through our mobile app "The Conqueror Challenges" which can be downloaded through the App Store or Google Play. You will be asked to create an account on the App. Once you have logged in, you'll click "ENTER JOIN CODE" and enter the join code that was emailed to you when you purchased.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges Series and The Return of the King Virtual Challenges Series follow two separate journeys. Thus, the join entry codes will be different. For example, if you purchase THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges Bundle of 5 challenges, the entry codes e-mailed to you will only be eligible to unlock this specific journey. The same is applicable for The Return of the King Virtual Challenges. If you purchase the ULTIMATE THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges Bundle of 8, you will receive 5 THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges entry codes and 3 The Return of the King Virtual Challenges entry codes.
What is the difference between specific and generic codes?
Specific codes refer to entry codes that are associated with a particular challenge that you select to participate in. These codes grant you access to that specific challenge only. When using a specific code, you have already chosen the challenge you want to join, and the code ensures your entry to that specific challenge.
On the other hand, generic codes are more versatile. They are general entry codes that allow you to gain access to a variety of challenges. Unlike specific codes, generic codes do not bind you to a particular challenge at the time of purchase. Instead, you can use a generic code to purchase entry to a challenge of your choice later on.
What happens with the codes we already bought?
Starting from July 28th, the Grand Canyon specific codes will be converted into generic codes. Here's the exciting part: There's no rush! You don't have to complete the Grand Canyon Challenge by the 28th of July to receive your well-deserved medal. There's no time limit, allowing you to conquer the challenge at your own pace and enjoy the journey to the fullest!
Do generic codes also apply to licensed challenges?
No, the generic codes can't be used for licesend challenges.
Will I be restrained by any time limit to finish the current Grand Canyon?
There's no rush! You don't have to complete the Grand Canyon Challenge by the 28th of July to receive your well-deserved medal. There's no time limit, allowing you to conquer the challenge at your own pace and enjoy the journey to the fullest!
Can I use my generic codes to enter this challenge until 28th of July?
Yes, you can join anytime for the current design with the generic codes until 28th of July.
Can I use my current Grand Canyon code for the future design?
Absolutely! Starting from July 28th, any unused Grand Canyon codes within the app will be automatically converted into generic codes.
