Orientation challenges
Added in 2017, challenges allow you to earn free rewards for playing Rec Room. They are visible via the Challenges Menu in your watch. Only daily challenges remain in the game.
Orientation Challenges[]
Orientation challenges could be completed any time but only once. Their purpose was to introduce you to various features of Rec Room. These were later removed. [when?]

Weekly challenges
Weekly Challenges[]
Weekly challenges are the weekly counterpart to the daily challenges, often being much harder than daily challenges. These were removed in 2024.
Every week, there are five weekly challenges. Completing any three of them will usually reward you a new cosmetic skin for weapons and other props for the current item in rotation. It is also possible, but very unlikely, for the reward to be a clothing item, for example, the Dino Floatie from 2019.
Weekly challenges can repeat, so players can have a chance to get skins they missed. However, this can be a rare occurrence, so it's advised that players get the rewards that they want when they're available. If you already own the reward that week, you will receive a random 4-star Cosmetic Item instead.
Weekly challenge are reset every Wednesday at 5 P.M. US Eastern Time, allowing a set of 5 new challenges from the list below to appear.
A history of Weekly Challenges rotations can be found here.
Potential Weekly Challenges By Category[]
Quests[]
There is always 2 challenges pertaining to quests. Note that you do NOT need to finish with a specific ranking. Simply defeating the boss and completing the quest will be enough to complete the weekly challenge.
- Complete the Quest for the Golden Trophy quest.
- Complete the Curse of the Crimson Cauldron quest.
- Complete the Rise of Jumbotron quest.
- Complete the Isle of Lost Skulls quest. (Not available for Oculus Quest 1 Players)
- Complete the Crescendo of the Blood Moon quest. (Not available for Oculus Quest 1 or Oculus Quest 2 players)
Eliminations[]
These challenges focus on eliminating enemy players in Rec Room Original PvP rooms.
- Eliminate 5 opponents in Rec Royale (Note: This is a total count tracked across all games, so don't worry about getting all 5 eliminations in one go.)
- Go on 5 Hitstreaks in Paintball (Eliminating 3 opponents in a single life counts as a hitstreak.)
- Go on 5 Hitstreaks in Laser Tag (Tagging out 3 opponents in a single life counts as a hitstreak.)
Game Completions[]
These challenges are as simple as they sound. Simply complete the specific game a number of times to complete the challenge.
Miscellaneous[]
These challenges do not fall under any specific category, but still have a chance to appear for a weekly challenge set. There is currently only one challenge that falls under this category.
- Complete a game of Disc Golf under par.
