A Daily Trial is a daily challenge in Minecraft Dungeons that alters the game mechanics to create a new environment for heroes to overcome and obtain exclusive equipment. They consist of existing locations with a set of positive and negative modifiers.
Daily trials rotate every day at midnight in local time.[1][2]
An active internet connection and, for Nintendo Switch users, a connected Microsoft account is required to fetch new trials every day upon logging into the game. Trials do not refresh until the game is reopened.
Accessible from the Mission Selection Map as green icons classified into I, II and III, two daily trials are available on the Mainland map per day and one per owned DLC on the Island Realms and Other Dimensions maps. Daily Trials can be played in both Online and Offline Games, alone or with friends. They randomly appear in all levels except for Squid Coast, Obsidian Pinnacle, ???, The Stronghold, Gauntlet of Gales, and Treetop Tangle.
Each hero can complete a Daily Trial once per day per difficulty (default, adventure, or apocalypse), regardless of threat level. Joining another hero that has not completed the trial or returning to camp before finishing the trial allows that trial to be played again.
Daily Trials drop and reward upon completion weapons, armor, and artifacts of higher power levels ranges than what would be available in regular gameplay and are weighted to higher rarities. The "early" increase in power can ease the initial difficulty spike when transitioning between default, adventure, and apocalypse difficulties.
In "apocalypse plus" threat levels, trials can prove particularity difficult with certain modifier sets combined with the vast abundance of enchanted mobs.
A log page of Daily Trials since Sep 8 can be found at Daily Trial/Archive.
Modifiers are positive or negative effects added to to increase the challenge of missions.

There are a handful of weapons and armor that drop exclusively to Daily Trials and rarely available purchase from Camp's merchants and even as drops from Ancient Mobs.
Trials also permits other Mainland equipment to drop in locations where they would otherwise be unavailable.
A Seasonal Trial is a special variant of Daily Trials that are available for a limited time during a seasonal event. These are displayed as purple icons on the Mission Selection Map classified into I, II and III. Seasonal trials have special modifiers unavailable to regular daily trials that are usually themed around the event theme. They drop event-exclusive loot that is based on regular unique gear, but with a special marker in the inventory. Seasonal Trial items do not have any additional attributes compared to their unique counterparts, although they salvage, gift wrap and upgrade for more emeralds. All seasonal event items except for the Corrupted Pumpkin are availible from the Tower, and can therefore be obtained gilded. They usually appear around holidays, such as Halloween and Christmas. Seasonal trials can only appear in the mainland.
There have been five events in Minecraft Dungeons so far that have featured seasonal trials, the Spooky Fall event, the Chills and Thrills event, the Anniversary event, the Spookier Fall event (A sequel to Spooky Fall), and the Festival of Frost event (A sequel to Chills and Thrills).
A log page for the Seasonal Trial Seasonal Trials is available at Seasonal Trials/Logs.
