Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely nothing! The program is 100% FREE!

That’s no problem. Just participate when you can. While we hope you can enjoy our challenges every week, it’s no big deal if you miss a week here and there… or if your participation numbers vary wildly each week! Just remember, the more weeks you can participate, the bigger the prizes you can earn!

Yes! Every entry will be eligible for all of our individual prizes.

We are very supportive of teams. Kids are welcomed to work in groups of 2 or 3. Larger groups are ok too, but weekly prizes may be limited in number or choice.
