Take on challenges

TaqMon includes fun in-game challenges that give you new goals. Some challenges are visible from the start, while others can be discovered as you play.

 

You might complete challenges by collecting certain lab sprites, reaching milestones, or unlocking special moments in the game. That means there’s always a reason to give it another run.


Track your progress

Your TaqMon journey doesn’t end when the round is over. After you submit your score, you can track your collected lab sprites and challenge progress, so every play session builds toward something bigger.

 

That means your next break is not just another game. It’s another chance to discover, unlock, and move closer to completing your collection.

  • Progress tracker: reinforce that players can see collected sprites, completed challenges, and score history over time.
  • Leaderboard: show that players can submit their score and compare results.
