Challenges

What are challenges?

Challenges are more brutal modifications to challenge veterans, most of them require efficient thinking or care from the player to not lose to mistakes and usually requires the player to die a few times to master them, challenges are available on private servers and winning them will reward a badge and a special flag

How do they work?

* Confusion+
* Conveyors+
* Disappearance++
* Scorching++
* Vigilant+++

 Confusion is the most peaceful challenge compared to the others, here all tiles are almost identical regardless of whether you revealed them

Although considered as the easiest challenge in the game by the community, this challenge requires attention as it increases your chances of missing stepping on unnoticed mines in obvious places. The strategy for this challenge is to be careful and be suspicious of walking around the board, as there's a chance you'll walk onto mines without realizing it; be cautious of where you step.

Tip: if you are looking to do 2 challenges at the same time, you should add confusion. It'll hardly make a difference compared to any other challenge.

Tip 2: (if you play on mobile, ignore this tip) if you are unsure if a tile is a mine or a blank, hover your cursor over it. If it's clickable, it's a mine or a tile. If it's unclickable, it's a blank tile and you are free to step on it.

Conveyors is a very simple challenge, all tiles now gain the power to move the character quickly in any possible direction. This can lead to miss-steps or even throw you off the map.

The best way to win this challenge is to be calm. Many times if you are aggressive and impatient, you will end up revealing more tiles than you should, so it's always good to take advantage of the unlimited time to solve the board.

Disappearance is one of the mildly difficult challenges, and its main and only change is to make the numbers disappear as time passes, making it extremely difficult to decide which tile is safe once the numbers have disappeared. This challenge is considered as a test of speed for the player.

The strategy for this challenge is to be quick. You have little time to draw conclusions and on some occasions, you will have to memorize the numbers because you won't always be able to see the numbers, as they disappear very quickly.

Scorching is one of the most difficult challenges in the game. All tiles catch fire when stepping onto them and can kill your character quickly. Despite this, the fire extinguishes itself after a long period of time.

Starting a board with this challenge is a big problem. Controlling your movement and knowing not to waste any gaps will be fundamental for you not to run out of spaces to move. Once a large part of the board is revealed, this challenge is extremely easy because the fire fades with time.

Vigilant is the most difficult challenge out of the 5 (confirmed by the developers). This challenge adds a small UI on the bottom of your screen, and it shows a random number 1-8 every 3 seconds. You must avoid stepping on the tile that has that number/is outlined with a thin red line. To make matters worse, the flags you place are not safe to step on. If you end up stepping on your flag either on accident or on purpose, the flag won't protect you, and the mine will still explode, leaving you and your teammates to restart your attempt.

This challenge is trial and error. One mistake and you'll restart your run. Always stay on tiles that are blank and plan well which tiles you're going to reveal. From there, just wait for the best sign (The UI chooses numbers greater than 3+) and then you reveal the tile and quickly go back to the tile that has no number.

Tip: Dangerous tiles (which will end your run) are outlined in the thin, red line. However, don't underestimate them. If the game chooses 1 or 2 to be dangerous, the number can linger for an indefinite amount of time, so be sure to not step on them as soon as the timer for that number stops.

Tip 2: This challenge is meant to take your time on, while most of the others test your speed. It is highly suggested that you take your time on this challenge if it's your first few times playing Vigilant.
