Looking for online team challenges...of any kind!

I have really enjoyed a few specific types of online team activities. Key features have been that you could join without assembling your own team, and that there is a list of possible tasks to tick off for a group effort at max points or other completion goal. Also key is some amount of team comradery/accountability/encouragement over chat or whatever.

Examples:
-- OwlCrate's monthly reading challenge, where points are assigned for books read, but also for various other book-related challenge activities
-- GISH (now-defunct) week-long team internet 'scavenger hunt' where points were given for a long list of creative tasks ranging from easy to impossible
-- The Peripatetic Persistent Pirate Puffins' Pacific Peregrination, where MeFites 'walked' from San Francisco to Tokyo and beyond

So I'm looking for more of these! What I'm not looking for is for example a 30 day art or yoga challenge or similar without the team component. Areas of interest might include art/craft of any kind (drawing, watercolor, pottery, photography, etc), piano, reading, workout activities, puzzle games, coding, electronics, gardening, dog training, etc but I'd be interested in finding any of this type of activity.

I have been doing these as an individual but am planning to do one with some family members soon (hiking NZ!) and I see other teams doing them: https://www.theconqueror.events I did Romania when I was on the Dracula re-read and that was weirdly fun too. Adding on team people is pretty easy.

I absolutely wish you had more answers here!

For the art, you might consider fic/art exchanges where you get matched with someone to create for (with a deadline) and someone else creates for you. A lot of fandom calendar exchanges are just for writing, but a number include art too, you just have to look for them.
