Active Challenges | |||
Most of the Challenges on our line-up are active. This means that no walkthroughs are allowed for them as long as they stay in this state. These offer points to the user who completes them depending on their difficulty | |||
Retired Challenges | |||
These look and behave the same as the Active Challenges, but do not offer you any points upon completion. However, they’re a good tool to learn what that category entails and how some of the ways of solving these Challenges function. | All retired Challenges | All retired Challenges | |
