Guide by Lottie Lynn Guides Editor Updated on 25 Jul 2020 The Global Challenge Arena allows Pokémon Go players from across the world to work together to complete the Global Challenges that will run through Go Fest 2020. Completing a Global Challenge will not only unlock a bonus during Go Fest 2020, but will work towards unlocking the Ultra Unlocks that, if earned, will run in the weeks after Go Fest. Make sure you take advantage of the rotating habitats, which are running throughout the first day of Go Fest 2020, so that you can help complete as many Global Challenges as possible. On this page: Global Challenges for Go Fest 2020 explained Global Challenge timed bonus rewards in Poké mon Go explained How to find Global Challenges in Go Fest 2020 Global Challenges for Go Fest 2020 explained Global Challenges are special challenges available to players taking part in Go Fest 2020. Each Global Challenge lasts an hour, and with Go Fest running between 10am to 8pm local time, meaning there are 10 Global Challenges to participate in per person. The challenges themselves can be anything from sending a number of gifts to catching certain Pokémon types. When the community reaches the goal, a Timed Bonus for that challenge will unlock for all players - but only for the remainder of that hour. Additionally, every Global Challenge the Pokémon Go community completes also counts towards the Ultra Unlocks, which are three separate weeks of bonuses and rewards that will occur after Go Fest 2020. Between all the different time zones, there are 32 Global Challenges happening across Day 1 of Go Fest 2020, and players need to complete 24 of these for all three Ultra Unlocks. These weeks will only happen, however, if enough Global Challenges are completed. So if you're taking part in Go Fest 2020, take sure you're contributing to the Global Challenges!
