Cookie Trials

Cookie Trials is a mode introduced into Cookie Run: OvenBreak alongside the release of Cherry Blossom Cookie on March 12, 2018. Players run with a featured Combi on a unique stage with certain restrictions.

Mechanics
In Cookie Trials, Escape Level, Cookie Cheer Squads, Magic Candy Blessings, and Affection bonuses have no effect. Treasures are typically capped at Level 7 for most Trials. GingerBrave's Trial Redux caps Treasures at Level 1, and Hero Cookie's Trial caps them at Level 4. Since Adventurer Cookie's Trial, Epic and Special Cookies and Pets are capped at level 11, Legendary Cookies and Pets are capped at level 3, and Rare Cookies and Pets have no cap. Since Hydrangea Cookie's Trial, all Cookies and Pets are capped at level 11.

Rewards
Rewards are determined by the rating achieved. In Normal Mode, ratings go from Bronze to Diamond. Reaching Diamond unlocks Hard Mode. In Hard Mode, ratings go from Hard Gold to Hard Rainbow, where reaching Hard Rainbow means the Hard Mode Trial has been completed. The points needed to achieve the next rank are shown during gameplay.

Hard Mode
On August 26, 2021, Hard Mode trials were introduced. Normal Mode trials changed to have less Diamonds given at each rank. The Spirit Potions reward changed to Treasure Incantations. In Hard Mode, the map and score requirements becomes more difficult. Cookies and Pets are not limited by level caps. Invocation Cards are not allowed. Normal Mode is the mode for trials released before August 26, 2021.

Bonus Missions
All trials released prior to Hydrangea Cookie's Trial also had 25 Bonus Missions. Bonus Missions included collecting a specific Jelly, destroying obstacles, or entering Bonus Time. The requirement must be met in a single run, and Bonus Missions must be completed in order. Each Bonus Mission gives a reward, most notably, Magic Ingredients for Magic Candy.

Cookie and Pet Requirements
If a player does not own the trial's Cookie and Pet, they may play with a level 1 Cookie and Pet and can get rewards from ranks starting from the September 26, 2021 update. On March 14th, 2023, players must own the trial's Cookie and Pet to play.

New Cookie Cup
Whenever a Cookie receives a trial, there is a time period of one month where players can participate in the New Cookie Cup. During this period, players can receive additional New Cookie Cup Rewards in the Trial Goals.

At the end of a New Cookie Cup, players who reached Diamond and Rainbow ratings will receive Crystals, Treasure Incantations, and Spirit Potions based on how well they scored compared to others.

The New Cookie Cup rewards have changed in The Dragon's Garden Paradise update with the Hard Mode Trials, and both the Normal Mode and Hard Mode New Cookie Cup rewards have changed again in the second half of the Project Cookie Runway update with Trial Star Candies

Infinite Trials
Infinite Trials occur when a trial's Cookie Cup has ended, temporarily removing level caps. The Cookie, Pet, and Treasures can be used up to their maximum levels, including enhancements on Treasures. All other limitations still apply. Only players who have reached Diamond rating can participate in the Infinite Trial. In the Infinite Trial, there are five trial goals after the Diamond rating. The event lasts two weeks, and, like standard Cookie Cups, rewards are given at the end based on worldwide ranking. Infinite Trials were replaced by Hard Mode trials on August 26, 2021.

Red Pepper Cookie's Infinite Trial was the first Infinite Trial, released on April 3rd, 2020, and new Infinite trials happened occasionally. As Infinite trials are events, there were times when none were active.

My Trial
A random incomplete trial whose New Cookie Cup has ended is featured as "My Trial". This is different for different players, hence the name. Reaching Diamond Rank in My Trial will give either a Supreme Cookie Chest, Supreme Pet Egg, or 1000 Crystals, as well as the normal rewards. Once My Trial is completed, or if it is not completed after two weeks, a different trial will be chosen to be the new My Trial. If all old trials have been completed, no My Trial is available. My Trial was removed on March 14, 2023.

It was replaced by the Time Attack Event, which is similar in a way, it will give 1000 Crystals to the player if Diamond Rank is reached within 1 hour, this event appears randomly when loading the Trials menu if you have some unreached Diamond ranks.

Complete the Trials!
Starting on March 26, 2020, rewards can be earned based on the number of Trials where Diamond rank has been achieved. No extra rewards are currently gained from completing more than 100 Trials, but more rewards are planned to be added in future updates.

Trial Star Candy
Trial Star Candies were introduced on March 14th, 2023. Reaching a new rating (e.g. Silver 3, Gold 3, Diamond, etc) in a Cookie Trial gives a Trial Star Candy. Cookie Trials without a Hard Mode can earn a max of five Trial Star Candies, whereas Trials with Hard Mode can earn a max of eight. 4 trials only give 2 Trial Star Candies, these are the trials of GingerBrave, Hero Cookie, Lemon Cookie and Cherry Blossom Cookie, they simply give less because they are part of the tutorial.
