/problem
Problem is the most simple type of challenge.
1 problem — 1 user accepts — 1 user earns reward.
In other words, use `problems` to get a particular thing done once at all. Only the first, who accepts the problem challenge can complete it and claim the reward.
Example: /problem close the door please :medal:

/quest
When you set up a quest, multiple users can accept, complete and earn rewards on their own.
Quest type makes sense to check the ability to perform for multiple users separately.
Example: /quest get to the office at 9am 3:gem:

/raid
Start a raid to team up people in the face of one ambitious task.
Raid leader splits the rewards upon completion.
Typically, the raid is a big goal, with appropriate big reward. It's supposed that raid is possible to complete only by working together when users complement each other.
Example: /raid move to new office 30:gem: 5:star:
