Question 2

How do I access the challenge once I've signed up?

Accepted Answer

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 in the App. Once you have logged in, you'll need to enter the join code that was emailed to you after purchase in the "ENTER THE JOIN CODE" section.

Question 3

How long do the challenges go for?

Accepted Answer

You get to choose the time-frame in which you will complete your Challenge, from 1 week to 24 months. This goal can be easily changed at any time if you want to shorten it or extend (within the 24 month limit). You can change this goal as many times as you like during the event.

Question 4

What is a fellowship and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A fellowship is a team of people who are sharing a common quest. Joining or creating a fellowship will help you rack up the mileage faster. The fellowship can be easily continued through all the challenges. Each member of the fellowship is required to purchase their own entry into the challenge. Each of them will receive their own medal at the end. Basically you share the distance with the other people in your team. Each time a team member posts a distance your team icon will advance along the map. You will also be able to see information about your own achievements and rankings separate from the team.

Question 5

What is a Challenge Mode?

Accepted Answer

For certain THE LORD OF THE RINGS Challenges, when starting the journey, you will have the option to choose between Story Mode and Long mode. While the Story Mode is recommended for those travelling by foot, the Long Mode is recommended for those who choose to cycle through Middle-earth. Being in the Story Mode you have the opportunity to experience either Frodo's journey in THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenge Series or Aragorn's journey in The Return of the King Virtual Challenge Series, just focusing on the most eventful parts. The Long mode has the same amount of content as Story mode, but with longer distances to suit cyclists.

Question 6

How do I enter a distance towards the challenge?

Accepted Answer

You can log distances using two methods: 1) Manually - Either on the web or via our iPhone and Android apps. Select your exercise type, add a distance and boom, you're done. You can add a screenshot of your tracker if you wish but it is not required. 2) Automatically – Via the range of apps and devices that we connect with. Currently, we support: Apple Watch & Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Adidas Running, Strava, Runkeeper, Map My Run, Map My Ride, and Map My Walk.

Question 7

How long does it take to complete the full distance?

Accepted Answer

The amount of time it will take you or your team to complete this journey depends on your fitness level, exercise type and team size. You can set your own time-frame goal from 1 week to 24 months to complete each challenge. This goal can be easily changed at any time if you want to shorten it or extend (within the 24 month limit).

Question 8

Do THE LORD OF THE RINGS Virtual Challenges cover the books or the movies?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

What does it mean that THE LORD OF THE RINGS challenges are locked?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Do join codes expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, unused join codes do have an expiration date if purchased after Oct 10th, 2023. Licensed challenges expire either when the licence contract expires or 2 years after purchase date. Original challenges expire 3 years after purchase date. This is important to remember when purchasing bundles.
