Daily Challenge and daily goals

One shared game a day, three small goals, and a streak to keep. Here is how they work.

Kerslide has two things that reset every day: the Daily Challenge and your three daily goals. Both are optional, both are quick, and both give you a reason to come back for one short game a day.

The Daily Challenge

The Daily Challenge is a normal endless game with one difference: the random seed comes from the date. That means everyone who plays on the same day starts from the same situation and is dealt pieces from the same sequence, so scores are directly comparable. A new challenge starts every day.

Because the start is shared, the Daily Challenge is the fairest way to compare with a friend. Play it, then send them your score and see who did better on exactly the same game.

Tips for the Daily Challenge

• Play it slowly. You only get one shared start per day, and there is no timer.
• Remember the opening. If you replay the challenge, the opening pieces usually come in the same order, so you can plan a better start.
• Score comes from clears. The scoring rules are the same as the normal game; see scoring and combos.

Daily goals

Each day (by UTC time) you get three small goals, picked from a set of goal types and scaled to how far you have played. Possible goals include:

• clear a number of lines;
• make a number of clears of two or more lines at once;
• push a number of blocks off the edge with shifts;
• reach a target score in one endless or Daily game;
• play today's Daily Challenge;
• win a number of levels, or earn a number of stars in Levels mode (once Levels is unlocked).

Goals count across all your games that day, so they fill up naturally while you play. Completing all three on consecutive days builds a goal streak.

Why "push blocks off the edge" is easier than it sounds

That goal rewards the move that makes Kerslide different. Build up blocks along the right column, then clear any row: every block in the right column leaves the board at once. The same works with the bottom row and a column clear. The shift rule guide shows exactly what happens.

A five-minute daily routine

1. Open Kerslide and check your three goals.
2. Play the Daily Challenge once, carefully.
3. If a Levels goal is open, win one or two levels.
4. Finish any remaining goal in a quick endless game.
