Daily Challenge

Last updated:, by

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, upgrades or custom RBE. The Daily Challenge changes at midnight (GMT/UTC). A player is capable of creating Daily Challenges by registering here and posting suggestions here. Only then may the player have a chance of having their Daily Challenge suggestion accepted and implemented into the game.

There is a similar mode in Bloons TD 5 Deluxe and Bloons TD 5 iOS, which is called Random Challenge.

In Bloons Tower Defense 5 iOS
On Thursday, June 6, 2014, Daily Challenge has been added to Bloons TD 5 iOS as an update. When you select the Gameplay mode screen, you will see the Daily Challenge mode, represented by a Sun God. You will find 4 difficulties of Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impoppable, each being represented of a face.

In each difficulty, you will spin a wheel of what will determine your Daily Challenge. You will always get a random track depending on the difficulty, and 4 random towers. You also have a choice to spin the wheel again for $150 of Monkey Money. Once you start the game or exit, you won't be able to spin again until the day after. After beating a Daily Challenge, you can replay the track, but you will only get 40% of the reward.

On Easy, you will always have a Beginner track. Completing the track rewards you $100. Replaying the track rewards you $40.

On Medium, you will always have a Intermediate track. Completing the track rewards you $250. Replaying the track rewards you $100.

On Hard, you will have either a Intermediate or Advance track. Completing the track rewards you $500. Replaying the track rewards you $200.

On Impoppable, you will have either a Advance or Expert track. Completing the track rewards you $750. Replaying the track rewards you $300.

Rewards
The player is rewarded with Monkey Money for completing the Daily Challenge and also gets a Medal and Awesome Points for the specific number of challenges completed. A standard reward of 50 is usually given upon completion. Player is rewarded with full Monkey Money reward for Today's Daily Challenge once a day and with 40% of original reward, if the challenge is repeated. The player can finish Daily Challenge Vault challenges for 40% reward.

Trivia

 * At least Rank 19 is required to play Daily Challenges.
 * The Nature Calls daily challenge is the first Daily Challenge where the player gets Special Agents for free.
 * Completing a map for a Daily Challenge will not earn the medal for the map.
 * The Daily Challenge Vault allows previous Daily Challenges to be played, for a 40% reward of the original reward.
 * The achievement, Otherwordly (gained by completing 365 sequential first run Daily Challenges) was removed because it's nearly impossible for any player to ever earn it, leaving Bloons Monkey City's ZOMG City Honor to be the highest Awesome Achievement, at 1000 Awesome.
 * On March 13, 2012, it says to complete the track Park Path, but Monkey Lane is the actual track.
 * On May 28, 2012, custom Bloon waves were introduced in Daily Challenges.
 * Daily Challenges 50 and 71 both have the same name, "Icebreaker." However, the actual challenges are different.
 * Daily Challenge 12, which is called "Beat 10 Epic Rounds with Lots o' Cash" actually features 11 rounds.
 * Limits to the number of Towers and Special Agents at a time or the number of Towers and Special Agents type don't apply to Super Monkey Storms.
 * The "20 Ceramic Bloons on the Wall" challenge can be beaten by spending all the provided cash on road spikes.
 * The August 26th Daily Challenge gives 1/2 as much Monkey Money on the first time winning as the first time winning Castle on Hard, if Castle Hard isn't completed with double Monkey Money.
 * On the "Strapped for Cash" challenge (Febuary 11, 2012's challenge), it is actually possible to get through the early rounds without using Special Agents by using the Dart Training Facility, to earn a free Dart Monkey.
 * In the DC "Castle of Nobility", it accidentally started on Monkey Lane. Same with December 16 2012's challenge.
 * It happens again with May 29, 2013's challenge, only this time, it is Bloon Circles instead of Park Path.
 * The DC "Floating Downstream" was originally supposed to be played on Downstream, but was accidentally put on the track Snake River. Two days later they created the challenge "Rushing Downstream", which is the same challenge but played on the intended track: Downstream.
 * The DC "Fives" was suggested by a user called "LemonadeFire". NinjaKiwi accidentally posted "LemonadeFive" as the creator of the challenge. This was fixed with the update that released the challenge on the Daily Challenge Vault.
 * The DC "Set-up Chaos" originally had a upgrade restriction bug where the Monkey Buccaneer, Apprentice, and Village were restricted to 1/3 opposed to 3/1.
 * The DC "I Spy With My Eye" is supposed to end on Round 70. When the challenge is first started, it says it ends on Round 85. It changes to 70 later on though.
 * The Feb 8 2012 challenge is called "Bullet, Cannon and the BB" referred to the Bionic Boomer, yet Glaive Lord is allowed.
 * September 28 2013's daily challenge was originally impossible to beat without premiums or agents. It was switched from Clock to Mount Magma to make it easier, however it was changed back to Clock later with Banana Farms enabled and one free Super Monkey Storm given.
 * May 20 2014's daily challenge Ice Trap said "One super monkey strom provided." "Storm" was misspelt.
