Daily-Challenge

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.

  • 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.
