To use seeds in Balatro, open New Run, choose your deck/stake, enable the “Seeded Run” toggle and enter an alphanumeric seed (up to 8 characters), then hit Play — the game will reproduce that run’s card queues, shop items and draws exactly, but seeded runs won’t grant unlocks or achievements. See the in-game seed shown in Settings if you want to copy the code from a run you liked. How seeded runs work on Dot Esports and the Balatro Wiki seed page. (dotesports.com)
A few practical details and tips: seeds are profile-aware (locked content won’t appear even if the seed originally did), random seeds exclude O/0 while manual seeds accept up to 8 chars, and you can share seeds with friends or use community lists like BalatroSeed to replay notable runs. Common quick steps:
- New Run → choose deck/stake → toggle Seeded Run
- Paste/type seed (0–8 chars) → Play
- Note: seeded runs don’t count for unlocks/achievements and may behave differently depending on your unlocked items. For deeper technical behavior see the community Q&A on seeded runs. (balatrowiki.org)
