Dumb Question about Challenge Mode

[Doctor Bog]

Do you beat the "scenarios?" Or is it simply some sort of side-addition to sandbox?

[Jake Muss]

To me it was just like Sandbox mode except you dont have unlimited money and you have to research certain rides.

So, is there no "leveling/progress" beyond the Campaign? I mean, don't get me wrong. I still love the game but just am kind of a completionist and wanted to level up/progress/get achievements before playing in the sandbox...

Until there's a scenario editor for the workshop, the in-game scenarios are all there is other than sandbox and challenge. Challenge mode you start with bare-minimal research unlocked and little money, having to work your way up from nothing to start with. Sandbox gives you everything unlocked and no money to worry about at all (eg unlimited money). Challenge mode will pop up "challenges" you can optionally choose to accomplish by doing things in your park for a money reward upon completion -- these can be ignored without penalty if you wish.

Think of challenge mode like a "naked scenario" if you will that you choose a biome and difficulty for. I still think the Hard mode is too easy, and even the Hardest mode is simple once basic profit is achieved, but still fun.

Wish Challenge Mode had some sort of "end goal" though, even if it was a long and winding road so to speak. As it is, it seems like unnecessary restrictions to sandbox play....
