Minimum or Maximum Players in a Game
DietBets must have at least 2 players. There's no upper limit on the number of players.
Game with No Winners
If no players achieve the weight loss goal, the winner is the person who has lost the most weight, as a percentage of their total goal, by the final weigh-in. For example, suppose the challenge is to lose 4% of your body weight in 4 weeks and the game has two players, Joe and Sally. Joe had to lose 10 pounds to reach the finish line. Sally had to lose 6 pounds to reach the finish line. At the final weigh-in, Joe had lost 5 pounds or half his total goal. He's at 50%. Sally had lost 4 pounds, 67% of her total goal. Sally wins.
If nobody loses any weight, or everyone fails to submit a final weight, then everyone forfeits their pledge (nobody gets any share of the total pledged).
Joining Late
You can join a game late but you will still have to lose the same % of your starting weight in a shorter period of time.
Game Length
Our Kickstarter games last 4 weeks. These games give you manageable milestones and opportunities to get back your pledge quickly. We feel that this makes losing weight easier and more fun.
Transformer games last 6 months. This gives you more time to adapt to healthy habits and make a full body transformation.
