A party in campaign mode can switch to casual mode to go through a scenario they have already completed, but it is strongly recommended that a party not undertake a scenario in casual mode that they haven't yet experienced in campaign mode. Players can still gain experience and money, loot treasure tiles, complete battle goals, and make progress toward completing their personal quests, but any story text or rewards listed at the end of the scenario are disregarded. In casual mode, players can play any revealed scenario on the world map regardless of achievements or whether it has been completed in campaign mode. In addition, once a scenario has been completed in campaign mode, it cannot be undertaken again in campaign mode by any party. A scenario can only be played in campaign mode if all the prerequisite global and party achievements listed as required in the Scenario Book are active for the party. This allows players to follow a story thread as they make decisions and explore a path of their own choosing. In campaign mode, players will form an official party of characters and undertake a number of consecutive scenarios over multiple play sessions.

There are two ways to play Gloomhaven: campaign mode and casual mode.
