# InHouseQueue Challenges

## What are challenges?

Challenges are a great way to engage your community, spark friendly competition, and reward active members.

As of writing **ALL** servers get at **least** 11 free challenges. As a [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/InHouseQueue) supporter, you will get exclusive access to all 20+ more. Patreon-exclusive challenges are more complex and engaging.

We're always adding new Free and Premium challenges to keep an eye out!

## How do I know what challenges are available?

Just run `/challenges show_all`- This brings up a menu of ALL challenges available.

## Can I track how I'm doing?

You can use `/challenges personal` to view **your** progress. If you think a challenge should already be unlocked, try playing another game, or run `/challenges refresh`.

## How do I unlock a challenge?

Players unlock challenges by reaching certain milestones as they play their favourite games using <mark style="color:red;">InHouseQueue</mark>.

For example; Winning **5 games in a row** will grant you the **Ultimate Flex** achievement.

Once a player unlocks a challenge, <mark style="color:red;">InHouseQueue</mark> automatically grants them a Discord role to show off! Players are also pinged and congratulated so everyone can see!

## How do I start?

Just run `/challenges start` to get started.

## Can I stop challenges?

You may pause challenges at any point with `/challenges pause`. This pauses everyone's progression of challenges until you turn it back on with `/challenges start`.
