Challenge Games

Challenge Games let players compete independently on their own machines for the highest score under a fixed set of rules, with results published to a web-based leaderboard. There is no real-time interaction — each player works through the same scenario and the scores are compared afterwards.

One rule applies to every challenge game: only the first play is registered. That keeps it fair by giving everyone a single attempt rather than rewarding whoever replays the most.

Rules

Each challenge game may set its own rules, shown on the challenge game screen or in the challenge game list — for example, whoever reaches the goals with the highest score by 2019 wins.
