HeroQuest Buying Guide

Mar 21,2025 Author: Amelia

HeroQuest, a dungeon-crawling board game that captures the thrill of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, was first released over 30 years ago. Players take on roles such as the Barbarian and Elf, embarking on heroic adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG session. Its iconic box brimming with plastic miniatures and multi-quest storyline cultivated a devoted fanbase, whose enthusiasm led to its successful relaunch via Hasbro's HasLab crowdfunding platform.

Years after the campaign, both new and longtime fans are enjoying the revived HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures! This buyer's guide helps you plan your own epic battles against the evil Zargon.
