Talisman: Digital Classic Edition - Tom Young
Hello Talisman fans!
Today we’re going to be giving you a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on for Talisman: Digital Edition over the last few months! Back in September we rolled out the Profile Update which added a bunch of exciting new profile features, including avatars and stat tracking.
As part of our continued commitment to making Talisman: Digital Edition the best game it can be, we’ve been working on adding even more features to the game. Which is why we’re excited to announce that our next free update for Talisman will be the Challenge Update!
This update includes a heap of additions to the profile system we added in September, so we’ve gone over some of the exciting additions you can expect to see below:
The most obvious addition with this update are challenges themselves! These are in-game challenges that you can complete whenever you play Talisman: Digital Edition. There are challenges for almost everything you can do in the game, along with some harder to earn challenges too. Getting toaded finally has a use!
As long as you’re signed into your Nomad Account, these challenges will be persistent across all your devices as well - so you can work towards your challenges on mobile while you’re away from your computer!
We wanted to give all our players a good range of different challenges to complete when we were designing them. That is why we’ve split the challenges into four different types:
If a challenge expires before you complete it, don’t worry - these timed challenges will come around again, you just might have to wait a while! However, any progress you made on that timed challenge will be reset once they roll back around. So if you have to cast 100 spells in a week and you get to 50 then the week ends, that challenge will come back at some point and you'll be on zero.
And as you work on your challenges, you’ll receive a notification at the end of your turn to let you know your current progress. You can see it in the bottom right of the screen, and is an easy way to keep track of your progress as you play!
Also new with this update are Challenge Points - a special reward you can receive for completing challenges.
You’ll probably also notice that a lot of these challenges have rosettes next to them. This signifies the kind of reward you’ll earn for completing that challenge! If you take a look at a lot of the timed challenges, you’ll see that they have a rosette with a number inside it. That number signifies how many challenge points you’ll earn for completing that challenge.
Different challenges will reward different numbers of points, depending on how difficult the challenge is. But what are challenge points for we hear you ask?
As you earn challenge points, your challenge rank will increase. As your challenge rank increases, your standing in the monthly Talisman Challenge ranks will go higher and higher!
The Challenge rank is a monthly leaderboard that will reset at the end of every month - we’re hoping that you’ll compete against other challengers and your friends to be the highest rank each month!
Want to deck out your profile with a cool new look? Back in September we added profile avatars to the game, so you could show off your favourite character. As of this update, you can now unlock new avatars by completing challenges!
A number of challenges award exclusive avatars that can only be earned by completing those specific challenges. Not every challenge will reward you with an avatar, but you can tell which ones will by the ‘avatar’ symbol next to them! We hope you all enjoy unlocking new ways to customise your avatar and show off your Talisman prowess!
Alongside avatars, the Challenge Update also includes a new way for you to customise your profile - titles! Just like Challenge avatars, these can be unlocked by completing certain challenges. These are all related to the challenge you’ve completed, and we spent a long time making sure there were titles that all Talisman players would appreciate. If you want to be known as the ‘Toad King’ to all your Talisman friends, you’re going to have to work for it!
Unlocked titles appear in a new tab on the profile screen, and will also tell you how you earned them if you unlocked them by completing challenges. We can’t wait for you to see them all!
And finally, this is what your friend list looks like with the new avatar and title system! Like we said, it’s a great way to show off your Talisman achievements or favourite characters to your friends as you play.
We’re still working on adding the finishing touches to the Challenge Update and need to make sure our internal quality assurance team are happy with it. We’ll then need to roll it out on all platforms.
Once we’re close to releasing the update, we’ll shout about it on all our different social media channels, so follow us if you want to be in the know!

We wanted to give all our players a good range of different challenges to complete when we were designing them. That is why we’ve split the challenges into four different types:
