+# Daily challenge
+
+The **daily challenge** is a multiplayer mode in [osu!(lazer)](/wiki/Client/Release_stream/Lazer) where players are able to build up a streak by passing consecutive daily beatmaps with an increasing difficulty that resets every 7 days.
+
+Every beatmap is handpicked from the [Featured Artist](/wiki/People/Featured_Artists) listing, and sometimes the maps come with a mod forced onto users, which requires them to pass the map with the selected mod.
+
+## Game menu
+
+From the main menu, the daily challenge menu can be accessed with the following steps:
+
+1. Click the `play` button or press `P`.
+2. Click the `daily challenge` button or press `D`.
+
+![](img/daily-challenge-menu.png "Screenshot of the daily challenge menu during November 7, 2024.") 
+
+On entering, the user is presented with an intro showing the beatmap the user has to pass, and the mods they have to pass it with.
+
+After the intro ends, the user can view the data for today's challenge. The left side displays various score-related information like the total pass count and the cumulative total score. In the middle, a leaderboard shows the top scores achieved by players. Users are able to discuss the daily challenge in the chat on the right.

+## Trivia
+
+::: Infobox
+![](img/yt-comment.jpg "waxxx14's YouTube comment suggesting the \"cup of the day\" format")
+:::
+
+- The idea for daily challenge was taken from a comment from waxxx14 requesting a "cup of the day" format from [TrackMania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrackMania) in osu!, posted under the lazer development video ["deciding what to do with lazer"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUSxEjQQ1UI).
+- The daily challenge launched to the public on July 25, 2024 in osu!(lazer) public release [2024.725.0](https://osu.ppy.sh/home/changelog/lazer/2024.725.0) solely for the [osu! game mode](/wiki/Game_mode/osu!).
+- In the initial release, free mods were not selectable, and the total pass count as well as the cumulative total score were only added in a later update.
