I just came back to a run in progress after a fairly long break and forgot if the current run is a challenge or not. Is there any way I can check that? I don't feel like continuing the run but I also don't want to forfeit a challenge run with this many floors done.

    Challenges and seeded runs have a special icon that shows on the screen. Mainly because you can't use them to unlock things (i.e. it doesn't count towards unlocking ???, It Lives, The Polaroid, or The Negative)

Challenge runs have a small icon in the same place you can find the hard mode icon if you're playing on hard mode. The crossed-out trophy icon indicates that you can't earn item unlocks or achievements, and can also be found on runs where you manually input a seed. So this icon won't be a 100% guarantee that you're on challenge mode, but it's as close as you're likely to get.

  • Alternatively, work out if the item setup leads to something absurd. If so, probably a challenge run ;)
