As of v1.2.11, completing the base game unlocks all challenge modes. The store names Black & White and The Big White, with The Big White described as 1,024 white pieces. A developer reply says Janitor Mode removes abilities and the skill tree. A complete current menu roster was not captured.

Only publish rules the source set names

The current full menu was not captured, so this is a bounded catalogue rather than a complete roster.

E1 source: Official patch notes — v1.2.11

Why this page exists: A player wants the current unlock rule and the challenge types that first-party material actually names.

Unlock everything through the base game

v1.2.11 changed the unlock rule so that finishing the base game opens all challenge modes. That is the latest explicit first-party unlock statement in this source set.

The two store-listed examples

The official store highlights Black & White and The Big White. It describes The Big White as a 1,024-piece all-white challenge; v1.3.1 later fixed its piece visuals and rescatter behavior.

Janitor Mode and the missing roster

A developer forum answer describes Janitor Mode as removing abilities and the skill tree. Because the current challenge menu was not captured, this page does not claim these are the only modes or supply unverified strategies.
