Lydia, can visualization challenge use freshly launched graphs? I haven't enabled them on Wikidata just to be safe, but it can be done very quickly.
I see no reason that they could not. The visualizations should have some sort of interactivity, and if I understand it correctly, that might be doable with Graphs. And if not it could possibly be achieved by combining it with a user script/gadget.
