Explore mode is a special mode to Crawl; whenever you would normally die, you can choose to come back to life, with no limit. Explore mode games don't count as proper games, and are thus not scored. Explore mode can be entered using the + key, unless it has been disabled.
By default, explore mode is available on both offline games and online servers. The configuration option explore_mode can be used to start new games in explore mode, or disallow entering the mode at all.
