How The Friday Vibe works
Move. Earn XP. Convert to tickets. Win on Friday. Here's exactly how every piece works.
The weekly cycle
Friday 11am
Draw fires
The live draw eliminates tickets one by one. The last ticket standing wins.
Fri–Thu
Mission week
Employees complete movement missions and claim XP. Week runs Friday to Thursday.
Thu 11:59pm
Week closes
XP is locked. Tickets confirmed. Unclaimed XP does not convert.
Friday 11am
New week opens
A fresh week begins as the draw fires. XP resets to zero.
XP — Experience Points
- ✓Earned by completing and claiming missions
- ✓Every mission gives a fixed XP reward
- ✓Claim in the app — unclaimed XP doesn't count
- ✓Resets every Friday when the new week opens
- ✓5,000 XP = 1 ticket in the Friday draw
Tickets
- ✓5,000 XP earns 1 ticket in the Friday draw
- ✓Earn as many tickets as you can — no cap
- ✓More tickets = better odds in the draw
- ✓Unused tickets do not carry over
- ✓Vibe Draw and Team Draw share the same pool
Mission types
Three types of mission. All earn XP. None require a gym or a wearable.
Step-based missions that reset each day. Claim by 11:59pm the same day.
Activity missions (runs, gym, swim). Claim any time before Thu 11:59pm.
Consistency badges for sustained effort. Claim any time within the month.

Watch the draw live from wherever you are.
Tickets eliminated one by one
Each ticket is removed in real time until only one remains.
Last ticket wins
The final ticket holder wins the cash prize, paid out automatically.
Works with your kit. Or none at all.
