Sanctuary is an Expert Map in Bloons TD 6 added on Version 26.0 on June 3rd 2021, alongside Psi.
Overview
Many circular platforms appear on this map. All platforms on this map are the only places where towers can be placed. Below these platforms is a deep ground where its apparent depth is obscured by fog. The platforms rotate and move each round.
One platform at the top is adorned with a small circular channel of flowing water and a statue resembling Psi. There is water in the two mini-ponds here that form an ornamental water structural decoration. The mini-ponds can fit Monkey Subs and Monkey Buccaneers, but only one per mini-pond.
The pattern of the platforms' formations cycles every 24 rounds.

Summary
Sanctuary has small moving platforms, and many different paths, forcing a widespread strategy or using powerful global range monkeys. The platforms are very small, which make placement of big footprint even harder.
Tips
- There is a spot for Perma-Spike and x-x-1 Spactories (which would typically become x-x-2 for 4-0-2 Spiked Mines and similar) that allows it to produce spikes at the intersection.
Version History
In version 27.0, a severe glitch occurred that the platforms start at the same position and move to the same spot regardless of the round, making the previous CHIMPS starting strategy for Sanctuary impossible. Although a new starting strategy was found for 27.0, this change was patched in version 27.2.
- 26.0
- Released
- 27.0
[Undocumented] Platforms' starting position and their movements are the same for every round
- 27.2
[Undocumented bug fix] Glitch was removed, making round 7 possible again
- 44.0
Unlock requirement changed from directly unlocking the map with an available Advanced Map to a flat completion of 20 unique map wins

Trivia
- It is the second map to contain moving placeable platforms, the first being Geared.
- After a few hours of release, Round 6 CHIMPS is possible with Dart and Sniper, although very tight.
- Round 19 Airburst is possible on Sanctuary CHIMPS, achieved within many hours from initial release.
- Sanctuary CHIMPS was completed on 4:34pm NZST on June 4th 2021 by Exephur, as posted in the BTD6 Index Discord. He later posted on Reddit to the BTD6 community with his community achievement.
- A placement of Perma-Spike allows the spikes to be placed at where the bloons split near the exit, making this Expert map significantly easier. Link.
- A glitch occurred in version 27.0 messed up the patterns of the platforms, making them start in the center and move towards the same direction for every turn. This also makes beating this map on CHIMPS impossible.
