For users of sites other than Stack Overflow, could some version of challenges work on your site? [...] What would make it successful, interesting, and fun?

I really don't think you can make them 'succesful''successful' on any other site than SO. SO is still, by far, the biggest site when it comes to activity. And even there, you have only a median of 58 entries per challenge.

I can't see the whole system working on another site, with lower activity, and offer a good 'return' on the time/effort that needs to be invested to keep something like Challenges running.
