So in a clear context, you can say "The challenging quest is on for the explorers". In a subtle context, you can say "It's on" to challenge someone about something. For example, your friend might say "Wanna bet?", and you can respond "It's on". However, this response is quite informal, and it can only be used among people who are close

(btw i understood the informal way to use it's on. really thank you!)
