Yes, they do, you must be at least 17 to join a Game of Thrones Virtual Challenge. Our source material (the Game of Thrones TV Serie) is rated “R,” “TV MA,” or “Mature 17+". Therefore, we are contractually not able to allow participants younger than seventeen to join a Game of Thrones challenge.

The Game of Thrones Virtual Challenge Series follows the journey of 4 iconic characters from the TV series. You'll get the chance to follow the captivating paths of John Snow, Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark and Daenerys Targaryen as they navigate the lands of Essos and Westeros. The map for each challenge can be found in the website section called "Virtually Travel Through Westeros".

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).

We welcome entries from all over the world* and we offer global shipping on medals and apparel. On average we have people from over 80 countries from around the world enter our challenges each month! 

*There are a few countries where we currently face delivery restrictions due to various international regulations and operational challenges: Belarus, Central African Republic, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Myanmar (Burma), North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), Palestine, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen.

Same with the usual challenges, you can log most types of distance based exercise, such as running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing etc. For other non distance based exercises such as yoga or cross fit, we have a handy conversion chart that converts time doing these activities into distance equivalents.

You can log any distance based exercise that you do. The common ones that we have icons for are: Running (indoor and outdoor), Cycling (indoor and outdoor), Rowing, Walking, Skiing, Swimming, Elliptical, Wheelchair. All others can be logged in the “other” category. You can also convert other exercises, such as sports that you play or going to the gym into distances. We can provide information on some ways to do this.

Same as the usual challenges, whether you have acquired one challenge or the entire bundle, you get to choose how many weeks in which you want to aim to complete the challenges. Be it 1 week or 18 months, you can easily change your goal at any time in case you wish to extend or shorten the period.

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.

To conquer The Iron Throne is a daunting task that requires completing the other four challenges. These challenges can be tackled in any order you prefer, but it's necessary to complete them all in order to unlock the Iron Throne challenge.

The Game of Thrones codes have a two-year expiration period, during which you must activate them by joining the challenge in the app. Once activated, you'll have an additional 24 months to complete the challenge.
