Challenge Rooms are special rooms that allow Isaac to fight enemies for extra rewards. They will only spawn on a floor if, upon entering the floor, Isaac's total health is greater than or equal to his number of heart containers. There are two kinds of challenge rooms: Normal Challenge Rooms, which appear on the first floor of a chapter or on Curse of the LabyrinthCurse of the Labyrinth floors, and Boss Challenge Rooms, which appear on the second floor of a chapter. Challenge rooms do not appear in chapter 6.

Normal Challenge Room[ | ]

Challenge Room

Normal Challenge Rooms can only be entered if Isaac's total health (Red, Black, and Soul Hearts) is greater than or equal to his number of heart containers. Picking up its contents will cause three waves of enemies to spawn. While in chapter 4 (WombWomb/UteroUtero/(except in Rebirth)Scarred WombScarred Womb), 3 waves of bosses will be spawned, typically from Chapters 1 or 2.

(in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Each wave cleared will charge Isaac's active item by 1.

(except in Repentance) Waves[ | ]

The enemies that spawn depend on the current chapter, and each chapter has two different possible sets of enemies:

Boss Challenge Room[ | ]

Boss Challenge Room Door

Boss Challenge Rooms will only spawn if Isaac has full health upon entering the second floor of a chapter, and can also only be entered if he has one or fewer hearts of health. Picking up its contents will cause two waves of bosses to spawn. Starting on Chapter 4, they use the same waves of bosses as Normal Challenge Rooms.

(in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Each wave cleared will charge Isaac's active item by 1.

(except in Repentance) The Boss Challenge Room door only counts Red Hearts in determining whether Isaac is allowed to enter. Soul Hearts are ignored.
(in Repentance) Boss Challenge Rooms require one or fewer hearts total to enter, counting Soul Hearts. Boss Challenge Rooms will always contain an item from the Boss item pool.

The bosses that spawn depend on the current chapter. Alternate floors have two possible sets of bosses that could spawn:

Notes[ | ]

  • (in Repentance)Temporary TattooTemporary Tattoo will cause an additional chest to spawn after a normal Challenge Room is completed as well as cause an additional item from the Boss item pool to spawn after completing a Boss Challenge Room.
  • (except in Rebirth) The waves appear in random orders rather than the orders listed above.
  • If Isaac has some way to teleport out of the room, the contents of the Challenge Room can be taken without fighting the enemies.
    • If a trigger to start a challenge room is left in the room after teleporting out (such as a chest or active item) or an item is spawned in the room and collected (such as rewards from BeggarBeggars or Blood Donation MachineBlood Donation Machines), the challenge room will start over when it is picked up/opened.
  • If a Secret RoomSecret Room is next to a Challenge Room, it can be entered by using a bomb in the Secret Room on the wall separating the two rooms. However, the entrance to the Secret Room from the Challenge Room closes itself, meaning Isaac cannot escape through the Secret Room entrance.
    • If GreedGreed or Super GreedSuper Greed spawn in the secret room however, the wall leading to the challenge room will be barred up and cannot be bombed open. The metal bars do not disappear after they are defeated or if the player leaves the room, meaning they can only enter the challenge room the traditional way.
    • (in Repentance) If Isaac bombs into either variation of Challenge Room through a Secret Room and leaves, the bombed entrance will close and must be bombed open again.
  • If Spiders spawn from a Red Chest before or during a wave, the Spiders have to be killed in order for the waves to start/continue.
    • If Spiders spawn from a Red Chest after the challenge room is cleared, Isaac can leave the room without fighting them.
  • Because of the health requirements, both types of Challenge Room will always be open for Character The Lost iconThe Lost, Character Tainted Lost iconTainted Lost (except in Repentance) and Character ??? (Character) icon???.
    • (in Repentance) As Boss Challenge Rooms now take soul hearts into account, Soul Heart characters are now also forced to be at one heart before being allowed access.
  • Doors to challenge rooms can be opened regardless of health with Collectible Dad's Key iconDad's Key or (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Mr. ME! iconMr. ME!
  • (in Repentance) Using Collectible Glowing Hourglass iconGlowing Hourglass will re-roll the enemies involved in both variations.
  • (in Repentance) Boss Challenge Room doors do not count Bone Hearts as long as they are not filled with Red Hearts, so picking up an item like Collectible Brittle Bones iconBrittle Bones will allow entry, despite the player technically having more than one heart of health.
  • (in Repentance) In cases in which there are multiple characters on screen (such as when playing Co-op, being Character Jacob and Esau iconJacob and Esau, etc.), all characters must meet the requirement for the door to open.

Bugs[ | ]

Bug Bug! (in Rebirth and Afterbirth) If the game crashes or you close it before you finish the challenge room it will crash every time you try to continue that run.
Bug Bug! If Isaac encounters Greed or Super Greed in a Secret Room next to a boss challenge room, the path to the boss challenge room is boarded up from the mini-boss fight. Defeating Greed or Super Greed does not remove the boards, despite the room no longer being active.
