How do Tower challenges work?
Every stop on a room's path is a quick minigame. Clear it to earn up to three stars, and replay it any time to try for more.
Applies to every Deku gameUpdated September 15, 2026
Playing a challenge
- Open a floor and step into a room.
- Move your climber along the path. Each stop reveals a challenge.
- Play the minigame. The better your solution, the more stars you earn, up to three.
Each attempt uses a life. See How do lives work?
Stars
Stars are the Tower's own currency. You spend them to open star doors, which lead to more rooms and to the next floor. Replay any challenge to improve your result and earn more stars.
Rewards
Many challenges also pay acorns or bonus cash the first time you earn them. See What can I earn in the Tower?
New kinds of minigames appear as you climb higher.
