Play Styles (or LifeModes*) were first introduced in V0.8. They are used to adjust power tubes or the game's behavior in Hide-and-Seek.

The list of available Play Styles to choose from is the following:

Name	Official description
Normal	You start each level with three power tubes.
Arcade	You start with three power tubes, but do not get any more each level.
Strict	You only get one power tube per-game. Lose once and that's game over!
Explorer	Baldi won't chase you, so you can explore freely! (You cannot unlock anything or save in Explorer mode)

Challenges

For other uses, see Challenge (disambiguation) or Map (disambiguation).

These settings change the game in ways to make it extra challenging!
Changes to these settings only apply when starting a new game.

Challenges were first introduced in V0.8.1 and serve as an upgrade of Fun Settings from Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered.

The list of available Challenges is the following:

Name	Official description
1 Minute Limit	Sets the time limit on every level to one minute. Hurry up!
No Map	Completely disables the map. Pay attention!
Shrinking Inventory	When using an item, you will lose a slot for the rest of the level. Think carefully!

Trivia

• Game Settings were first introduced in V0.8.
• The 1 Minute Limit Challenge was originally used for testing the time limit feature for the pre-releases of V0.8, and it was called "Time Limit Test". It was later re-added in V0.8.1, but with a different name.
• Game Settings might be a reference to the Fun Settings in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered.
• Prior to V0.9, there were a few differences:

  • 

    Game Settings in V0.8 and V0.8.1.

    Game Settings were located at the "Game Settings" page in the options screen, instead of Hide-and-Seek's menu screen.
  • The Explorer Play Style was an actual mode and not a Play Style.

Glitches

• The player can still buy the map fill from Johnny's Store, even when No Map is enabled.
  • However, if a map fill is bought, nothing will change and nothing will happen.
• Giving the Bus Pass to Johnny will consume an inventory slot when Shrinking Inventory is enabled, making the player start the next level without one of their inventory slots.
• In V0.8 and its pre-releases, the "Strict" Play Style was labeled by its early name, "Intense".
  • The "Intense" name is still used in the code, however.
• Prior to V0.9, in Endless Mode, 1 Minute Limit prevented all random events from happening, despite this mode lacking a time limit.
  • This no longer happens due to Game Settings only being available in Hide-and-Seek.
