Daily Challenge

Last updated: April 28th, 2012

Daily Challenge is a special mode in Bloons Tower Defense 5 that was added in an update on Jan 27, 2012. The player must beat the pre-defined track with some special conditions, like a restriction to only certain types of towers, road items or upgrades. A standard reward of $50 Monkey Money is usually given upon completion. The Daily Challenge changes at midnight (GMT/UTC).

Rewards
The player is rewarded with Monkey Money for completing the Daily Challenge once a day and also gets a Medal and Awesome Points for the specific number of challenges completed.

Trivia

 * The player must be registered and logged in with a Ninja Kiwi account to attempt Daily Challenges.
 * The game cannot be saved during Daily Challenges.
 * You must be at least Rank 19 (all towers unlocked) to play Daily Challenges.
 * The Nature Calls daily challenge is the first Daily Challenge where the player gets special agents for free.
 * If you complete a map for a Daily Challenge, you will not get the medal for the map.
 * If the Daily Challenge is updated (at midnight) and a player is currently playing the previous Daily Challenge, the screen will turn black and he/she will lose his/her progress.
 * According to an email about the new Special Agent Pros and Double Monkey Money Weekend update, Daily Challenge Archives will be introduced in May. While it is unclear what this will do or how it will affect the Daily Challenges, it is rumored these "archives" will allow players to replay previously completed challenges for rewards, hence the word "archives" in the name.
 * The Fight Fire with Fire daily challenge is the first Mount Magma, Hard daily challenge in history.
