Are you taking upgrades into account?
Anyone that has better upgrades will have a huge advantage here. Not everyone is on equal ground, especially since getting the upgrades can be hard, so it's unfair to anyone who only started on this or started a new game.
I would say that we should disable upgrades if the player has them. Because it is unfair.
Edit: I would also say no items. Since there is a running item that you can use at the start that automatically gets you to 2500 m. And then the ressurection wings basically give you a do-over for anything. So if you have a lot of coins you can just stock up and run forever.
To be perfectly honest though, I don't think Temple Run was the right game to play for this week. What with it all being the anniversary of Sonic, we could've have played Sonic Dash instead. Same premise and everything, just more in tune with the festivities (and more fun xD).
Oh god, QWOP is next week....everyone will definitely be on the same playing field when it comes to it being challenging (;

Sonic is definitely a game I was considering of doing down the road, but you are right that it would have been cooler to have done it this week. I didn't actually know it was the anniversary for it, good pickup! Nonetheless, some games will be hit or misses, and on paper Temple Run seemed like a good idea. I already have next week's challenge picked out, and let me just tell you...everyone will definitely be on the same playing field when it comes to it being challenging (;
Spinny said something I forgot to mention myself... =DI'm leaving it up to y'all how you want to handle this. We can either do a hard reset when it comes to the standings and start over from scratch, or if you want to play by the honor system we can keep the current standings and people who used upgrades can resubmit a new score. Just let me know how you want it.
Oh god, QWOP is next week.

This was the second reason why I said that mobile games aren't the best for challenges...
As most mobile games come with micro-transaction and power-ups...
New challenges should be made for games that are don't have anything like that :)
Btw is there even a possibility to disable the power-ups in this game?
So are powerups allowed or not? I only have 1 point in everything so it's a bit obvious which side i'm on xD
Anything that can be avoidable should be done so. So if the power ups in the game are buyable, then don't do so for this challenge.
I hope everyone doesn't plan to get scores higher than me and then just post them at the last minute. Cuz that'd just be mean.
