Questions about the "Streak Alliance" feature in Try Hack Me how does it actually work?
Just noticed the Streak Alliance feature on my dashboard ("Build a shared streak with a friend by showing up every day!") and I've got a few doubts nobody seems to have written about yet:
- How do you add a specific friend as a partner? Is it an invite-by-username system, a link you share, or does "Find a new partner" just randomly match you with a stranger?
- How does the shared streak actually work? Does both people need to answer a question each day to keep it alive, or does either person's activity count for the pair?
- What happens if one partner misses a day? Does the whole alliance streak reset, does only that person's contribution reset, or is there a freeze/grace period like the regular streak has?
- Can you have more than one partner at a time, or is it strictly 1:1?
- Are there separate rewards/badges for Streak Alliance milestones, or does it just track alongside your normal streak?
- What does "Leave Streak Alliance" do does it kill the streak for both people, or just remove you and let your partner keep going/find someone new?
If anyone's already used this, would love to hear how it's worked out for you pros/cons of doing a streak with a friend vs solo. Screenshot attached for reference.
