Who can enter
- Open to legal residents who are 18 years or older, or who have a parent or guardian's permission to enter, at the time of entry.

Contest 1: The 1,000 Download Giveaway (on TikTok)
- To enter, follow @talonstrikeapp on TikTok.
- The giveaway closes the moment Talon Strike reaches 1,000 cumulative App Store downloads, as tracked by our internal analytics. This may happen at any time.
- One winner will be selected at random from eligible followers after the threshold is reached, and announced publicly on TikTok within 7 days.
- The winner will be contacted by TikTok direct message and has 14 days to respond before an alternate winner may be selected.
- This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with TikTok.
Contest 2: The Furthest Flight Challenge (in the app)
- How to enter: finish a run in Talon Strike and tap Share Run. The first time, you will enter your name, email address, and phone number and confirm that you are eligible. Your wave reached, a device identifier, and the time of submission are sent automatically with your entry.
- Contest period: the start and end dates are announced on TikTok (@talonstrikeapp) before the contest opens. Only entries submitted during the announced period count.
- Winner: the eligible entrant with the highest wave reached during the contest period. If entrants tie, the earliest submission wins.
- Verification: we may ask the apparent winner for a screen recording of the run, and we may disqualify any entry that we believe was altered, faked, or achieved by exploiting a bug. Our decisions are final.
- The winner will be contacted using the email address or phone number submitted with the entry and has 14 days to respond before an alternate winner may be selected.
Prizes
Each contest has one prize: a one-time cash payment of $1,000 USD, delivered by a method agreed with the winner. The winner is responsible for any applicable taxes.
