Big Challenges is extremely adventurous and outgoing. He always wants to try new things, even if the activity is dangerous or risky. His best friend, TOPHAT, tries to curb Big Challenges' more reckless decisions, but Big Challenges can be very stubborn. Big Challenges wants to make Big Adventures Park into a fun and exciting place to visit. He dreams of one day building a roller coaster on Icy Peak.

Gifts

The player can give Big Challenges up to three gifts per day, which will raise his friendship with the player. Players will receive Little Challenges as a reward for each gift they give to Big Challenges. The amount received depends on the value of the gift and the closeness of the friendship.

If the player has reached maximum friendship level with Big Challenges, they will receive his Character Gift Box for each gift they give or quest completed.
