### Anniversary Crowns

*5th Year Anniversary Crowns were only unlockable for original Characters up to CHAPTER 20.
Licensed Characters may collect them for bonus Bloodpoints, but would be unable to unlock them as a Cosmetic piece.*
Each Trial would spawn a Crown Pillar with a Crown hovering above it, emitting a sound close-by.
Interacting with the Crown would grant Players a special Score Event *"Crowned"* and dissolve it into the Character, giving them a special visual effect emanating from their torso for the remainder of the Trial.

The Crown Pillar would randomly despawn and respawn throughout the Map at an interval of between **90-120 seconds**, giving each Player a chance to eventually get their own Crown as the Trial progresses.
There is only ever a single Crown Pillar at once on the Map.

Successfully finishing the Trial as Killer or escaping as Survivor with a Crown would unlock its corresponding Cosmetic piece.

### Anniversary Community Challenges

During the Fifth Year Anniversary Stream, Developers also announced the return of *Community Challenges* from the 1 Year Anniversary, which will reward Players with exclusive Cosmetics, unique Outfits for The Wraith and David King, and **2** exclusive Charms.

The Community Challenge tracks the amount of collected Anniversary Crowns collectively across all Players with multiple shared goals.
Meeting each goal will unlock the aforementioned rewards through codes shared by the Developers:

 Third Challenge (522,490 Survivor and 329,402 Killer Crowns collected by deadline)
 Final Challenge (9,711,302 Crowns collected)
