What is Wolf Mode?

Wolf Mode is the rallying cry of the week. As an admin or pack lead, you pick one of the five pillars and the whole pack rallies around it for seven days.

What changes when Wolf Mode is on

• Match-pillar challenges earn double sparks for the week
• The pillar prompt appears on every packmate's home screen ("This week we're rallying behind Den — make every packmate feel seen")
• The recognition wall biases toward that pillar's colour
• If Slack is connected, the channel gets the announcement automatically

When to use it

• Onboarding a new cohort → Den week
• After a big launch → Pack week (close the loops, recover)
• Before a planning cycle → Move As One week
• When recognitions are quiet → Howl week

You don't have to set Wolf Mode every week. Skipping a week is fine — it makes the weeks you DO set it land harder.
