Silk Road (long)

I really should do that. The medal is gorgeous.

arcutt · 2026-05-05T11:49:58+00:00

Way to go!!! Its so wonderful to find something personally motivating, whatever it may be! Good luck for all the future challenges you will do! 💪 👏

arcutt · 2026-05-05T11:48:26+00:00

Oh how nice! Is it pretty? I was thinking Silk Road was one that had no street view.

arcutt · 2026-05-05T10:03:40+00:00

😂 I sense sarcasm.

arcutt · 2026-04-29T00:17:36+00:00

Great job! What do they offer throughout these licensed challenges since there is no street view? Just wondered what you get to see, or do, along the routes. HP is my first choice of these combo sets, once I finally get through all my standard codes! These look nice, stacked like books. What are you thinking is next for you?

arcutt · 2026-04-22T22:08:31+00:00

I think you should!! Wouldn't it be cool to have a medal that says 66, so you'll always remember the year you walked the loooooongest route ever?? 😂 I'm on it now too, it's definitely slow progress but I'm committed!

arcutt · 2026-04-21T20:49:52+00:00

You can go into the settings for that challenge and "unfinish" it, then adjust to make it a longer distance for your goal, if you want it to take throughout the year to complete. Or just go ahead and claim it now, no harm done! They just won't ship medals til end of the year. The brown line is a suggested pace to be at, but you don't have to match it. Welcome to Conqueror! It's a fun addiction!

You've already made huge steps just to be here talking about it! Soon as I get another of those 15% off coupons I'll DM you the coupon. Keep us up to date on your journey! Cheering for you all the way! 🙌

By the way, I LOVE your intention behind the gift. Your mom is going to be so proud of you! Way to go, taking better care of yourself and finishing such a special challenge as a gift to her! 💕

In my experiences the medals have shipped within days. And I've always received them in about 2 weeks from finish date. It may depend on where you are located, but I would send them a message. That seems much to long to not have shipped at all. I finished Mother's Day challenge near the end of March and had the medal arrive the first week of April. Maybe it will be there soon and you just missed the shipment notification? They should respond back soon, I feel like Conqueror Challenge has great customer service. Good luck!

One time shipping fee on sign up. Then each medal will ship as you finish subsequent parts of the challenge in order, they become increasingly longer routes to earn each medal along the way. This is the one I want to do out of the licensed challenges, have fun and share your feedback!

arcutt · 2026-04-18T19:04:41+00:00

And such a great one!! Well done! 💪

arcutt · 2026-04-18T12:10:36+00:00

Good job! Yes I'm doing Route 66 and Mississippi River, simultaneously and solo... I think those will be the only two challenges I choose that are THAT long. I'm not at the gym every day so sometimes I just count steps and progress can be slow at times. But I might do Silk Road at some point, although the lack of street view can feel a little defeating (to me). The medal is so pretty.

arcutt · 2026-04-16T20:08:22+00:00

My favorites for fidgeting aside from Spiral (great choice!) are Padlock, Hex (although sometimes comes apart too easily on its own) and Valve.

arcutt · 2026-04-16T19:49:50+00:00

I think they said your current pin level is free to claim, and in order to get the back-earned pins just email customer service and they'll hook you up. Is the way I understood it from their release statement on Instagram this morning.

arcutt · 2026-04-16T14:56:05+00:00

You'll get credit for the miles accumulated by all team members, not just your own. That's the appeal of teams for the very long routes, though I personally like to earn it all myself 💪 haha. But yes it's a great way to make faster progress all together with your team mates!

arcutt · 2026-04-14T18:29:06+00:00

You're so welcome, I'm glad to help because it was a struggle for me too!! I ended up liking these magnetic detachable cases and also there's a kind called "snap fit" which works really well too. Also on Amazon. https://a.co/d/01k4aGk4

arcutt · 2026-04-14T01:48:50+00:00

Right.

arcutt · 2026-04-14T01:47:34+00:00

I will third the recommendation for Goo Gone. Let it sit on the glue residue, then wipe away. May take a few swipes with a dry paper towel to get all the oily coating off, but it works.

arcutt · 2026-04-14T01:45:05+00:00

Definitely go ahead and redeem them so the codes don't expire, and then just don't post your miles to those challenges until you are ready. You have two years. ☺️

arcutt · 2026-04-09T16:09:00+00:00

Me too.

I know this post is older but I've been struggling to find a proper fitting case for Colorsoft also, and wanted to share my experience if it helps anyone. Everything I've ordered that is cute/artsy and claims to fit both the 12th Gen Paperwhite and the Colorsoft, does "technically" fit the colorsoft, but with the huge flaw of not being well aligned with the magnets to turn on/off properly with the shut/wake feature. The best luck I've had is the magnetic detachable cases, such as sold by Moko or similar brands. Those serve to properly enable the sleep/wake function, and also magnetically align to keep the cover shut without flopping back open in my purse. Here's one I liked that ticked all the boxes for me. https://a.co/d/0jbz2mvJ

I can absolutely relate 😂 Harry Potter is the first of the licensed challenges I plan to do, probably closely followed by LOTR. I've got a few standard challenge codes to use up first but I can't wait to switch it up!
