What Fitbit got right

A fair game between different fitness levels

Get Fit Bingo was more thoughtful than a plain step leaderboard. Its tiles used activities such as steps, active minutes and logged workouts, while the required effort was personalised. Friends with very different routines could therefore play together without asking the less active person to chase the most active person’s raw total.

The bingo pattern also gave every bit of movement an immediate purpose. Activity flipped tiles; flipped tiles revealed progress towards a visible finish. That combination of personal goals, a simple board and friendly urgency is why many players still search for a replacement.

Faction keeps that principle. In party games, everyone enters the same seeded world and sees the same base opportunities, but their targets are calculated from their own baseline. The leaderboard is intended to measure XP earned through comparable effort—not reward whoever already records the biggest numbers.

Where Faction differs

A world to explore, not a card to clear

Faction is not a pixel-for-pixel recreation of Get Fit Bingo. A Quest Board is a map. Completing an available quest opens routes to new nodes, and finishing a board unlocks another part of a world generated from your personal seed. Some routes lead to bonuses; later boards can reveal harder boss quests and locked doors.

You also choose what belongs in your adventure. Walking and steps can sit beside running, gym sessions, cycling, stairs and streaks. A person who loves strength training should not be forced into a step-only game, and a walker should not need to log barbell sets to make progress.

The result is a longer arc than a single bingo round. Completing quests earns permanent account XP as well as progress within a social game. Optional board completion rewards explorers, while the open path lets everyone keep moving without requiring every tile.

What happened?

Fitbit retired Challenges and Adventures in 2023

Get Fit Bingo arrived as a Fitbit Premium challenge. A Premium member could start the game and invite Fitbit friends; each player received a personalised fitness bingo board and flipped tiles by being active. It sat alongside Fitbit’s other social Challenges and Adventures.

Fitbit removed Challenges—including Get Fit Bingo—along with Adventures and trophies on 27 March 2023. The retirement ended the original service, so it is no longer something a new or returning subscriber can enable. Faction is independent of Fitbit and Google; it is an alternative for people who miss the playful, social side of moving rather than a continuation or official replacement.

Choose your path

Which experience is the better fit?

Choose Faction if…
  • You miss personalised fitness games with friends.
  • You want more variety than a raw step-count race.
  • You like maps, progression, unlocks, XP and boss encounters.
  • You want your goals measured against your own normal activity.
  • You are happy to join a product while its Quest Board and party features are still being built out.
Get Fit Bingo was best if…
  • You wanted the original bingo pattern and tile-flipping rules.
  • Your friends already used Fitbit and could accept an invitation there.
  • A short, self-contained game was more appealing than ongoing progression.
  • You preferred Fitbit’s familiar app and activity metrics.

The important catch is that the original game has been unavailable since March 2023.

Questions from the tavern

Fitbit Bingo alternative FAQ

Is Fitbit Get Fit Bingo still available?

No. Fitbit removed Challenges and Adventures on 27 March 2023, which included Get Fit Bingo.

Is Faction an exact Fitbit Bingo clone?

No. Both use personalised fitness objectives and social play, but Faction replaces the bingo card with branching Quest Boards, mixed activity types, XP, unlocks and an ongoing world.

Do I need to be the fittest person in my group?

That is precisely what personalised targets are designed to avoid. Faction’s game design compares progress through XP and scales objectives from each person’s baseline instead of giving everyone one absolute target.

Can I use a Fitbit with Faction?

Faction will support Fitbit activity through our Google Health integration, so you will not need to leave your Fitbit behind. Garmin Connect is already live; Google Health and Fitbit support are coming as the integration is completed.
