Challenges¶
Challenges open after your first finished run. Each one is a normal run under a fixed set of rules, scored on points or on the tile you reach, with 5 medals to earn. Each challenge rewards its own Limited perk, a card you can only get by earning that challenge's Platinum medal.
- Your meta tree counts. Your forge counts too, except in Unrigged.
- Start grant sockets are ignored, so every medal is earned by the rules and your tree.
- Open the page with the CHALLENGES card on the home screen, beside the daily tasks.
- Every challenge has its own leaderboard of this season's best scores: press TOP on its card. A challenge run does not count for the main leaderboards or the daily tasks, except a daily task to earn a challenge medal.
- A challenge run pays 1.5x meta, on top of the medal rewards below.
- Medal meta is times your ascension multiplier, so the table is what you get before ascending.
- SAVE & QUIT and CONTINUE work as in any run, and a medal is kept even if you leave. Starting a challenge while a normal run is saved asks you to CONTINUE RUN or DELETE & PLAY first.
The medals¶
| Medal | Reward, the first time |
|---|---|
| Clear | 250 meta and the challenge's badge. |
| Bronze | 500 meta. |
| Silver | 1,000 meta. |
| Gold | 1,500 meta. |
| Platinum | 2,500 meta. Its Limited perk opens up: it counts as found, so you can fill it on the Ascension perks page, and gates may deal it from then on. Platinum in every challenge earns a badge. |

Every week, from Monday 00:00 UTC, one challenge is featured at the top of the Challenges page. Medals you earn in it that week pay x2 meta, and it has its own weekly board. The challenges take turns in the order of the table below, one a week.

The Daily Run¶
The Daily Run card on the Challenges page starts a run with one kit for everyone that UTC day: a meta tree bought with 50% of the base tree's price, and a forge die, both built around the day's theme.
- A Daily Run ends after 50 rolls, however many rolls gates and Spark give you. No rolls are sold in it.
- Everyone gets the same roads that day.
- It pays meta like a challenge run, x1.5. The first Daily Run you play to its end each day also pays a finish bonus of 250 meta, times your daily task band and your ascension multiplier.
- Your best score of the day goes on that day's board.
- In a Daily Run, flags stand on the track where each friend's best run that day reached. Passing one shows a toast naming the next friend ahead.
- Yesterday's top 3 stand on gold, silver and bronze steps at the top of the LEADERBOARD page.
When a day closes at 00:00 UTC, its top 10 win meta, paid on their next join within 7 days. First place also earns the Daily Champion title. Each prize grows with your ascension multiplier, your Alchemist level and Double Meta, so the prize column on the board shows what each place would pay you. The sums are on How the numbers work.
| Place | Base prize |
|---|---|
| #1 | 1,000 meta |
| #2 to #3 | 600 meta |
| #4 to #10 | 300 meta |
