What is Challenge Mode in Hey Monika?

Challenge Mode is the shorter, more focused counterpart to a full Scenario. Instead of managing an entire client relationship, you're dropped straight into one specific skill — for example Bank Reconciliation Challenge, Fixed Assets Challenge, or VAT Challenge — with the documents and context you need to complete just that task. It's the better starting point if you want to isolate and drill a single weak spot (depreciation, a tricky reconciliation, a VAT calculation) rather than work through an entire client story, and most trainees use it to warm up before tackling a full Scenario like VoltWise EV Solutions or Lighthouse Wellness Practice. More detail Each Challenge is built around one skill, not a whole client relationship. There are 19 named Challenges covering everything from Bank Reconciliation Challenge to Professional Communication Challenge. Challenges are quicker to complete than a full Scenario — useful if you only have 20–30 minutes.Frequently asked questions Should I do Challenge Mode or Scenarios first? Most trainees start with a couple of Foundational Challenges (Accounting Environment Challenge, The World of Business Challenge), then move into Scenarios for the client-handling side and dip back into specific Challenges to drill any skill that needs more repetition. Are Challenges marked the same way as Scenarios? Yes — Monika reviews your work and gives the same kind of specific feedback either way. Get started Pick one Challenge that matches a skill you're genuinely unsure about — not the easiest one — and work through it properly before moving to a full Scenario.
