HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the thrill of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players assumed roles such as the mighty Barbarian and the spell-casting Elf, embarking on heroic adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG. Its iconic box brimming with plastic miniatures and its multi-quest storyline captivated a devoted fanbase, whose enduring enthusiasm prompted Hasbro to revive the game via its HasLab crowdfunding platform. Years after the campaign's success, both new and veteran fans revel in the newly released HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures.
