The Talos Principle Themed Craft Contest! Your chance to win free copy of The Talos Principle!

WHAT IS IT?

With the impending release of The Talos Principle in less than one month, we’re giving another opportunity for you to increase your chances to win a free copy of The Talos Principle. We want to spark the creativity within our community and see what ideas unfold.

This contest is organized by community members, for community members. We will be giving away two free copies of The Talos Principle to the best entries just in time for the game’s launch. We understand it can be difficult to come up with ideas for a game that is not yet released, but you can also use this as an opportunity to be as creative as you’d like. In addition to the Talos Principle Public Test and Sigils of Elohim, you may consider looking at the following promotional materials for inspiration:

  • Photoshop edits
  • Hand drawn art
  • Live Photoshoots
  • Custom Birthday Cake
  • LEGO Model
  • Original short story or poem
  • Original / remixed music
