World-of-warcraft – How does the new Challenge mode work

world of warcraft

I have two questions here, but both deal with the new "challenge mode" in Warcraft.

1) How does one go about running an instance in challenge mode? In other words, is there something specific that you have to do before starting the instance in order to put it into challenge mode, or is it something that can be done inside of the dungeon once it's already started?

2) I noticed that there is a daily quest at the bottom of the Shrine of Two Moons (this is the Horde city, but I'm sure there's one at the Alliance also) and it appears to be a random daily for doing an instance in challenge mode. Am I correct on this?

In order to run an instance in challenge mode, you must form your party and manually enter the instance after setting the dungeon difficulty to challenge mode. This also adds certain user interface elements to the game in place of the usual quest tracker, showing you how much time you've taken in the challenge mode so far, and providing you the option to reset the challenge mode to have another go at it.

Quoted from the Battle.net website:

You select Challenge Mode before you enter a dungeon. In this mode, your objective is to clear the instance and down all the dungeon's bosses as fast as you can.

It is possible to see your best challenge mode times through the 'Challenges' interface, accessible by pressing i and selecting the 'Challenges' tab:

The quest at the new faction cities for both Horde and Alliance is for completing a challenge mode, this changes daily and there is one quest for each of the new instances.

More information about challenge modes can be found on the official Battle.net website
