HeroQuest - Companion App for iPhone

Overview

HeroQuest — Companion App is a free utility made by Hasbro for iPhone owners that supports the HeroQuest tabletop experience. Acting as the game's automated Game Master, the app displays a quest map and manages many behind-the-scenes elements so players can focus on their hero roles and the story.

What it does for your game

• Digital character tracking: manage Mind and Body points and other character stats directly inside the app.
• Atmospheric narration and audio: delivers spoken quest directions, ambient dungeon noises, and sound cues to set the mood.
• In-play effects: trigger and resolve spells, artifacts, and special abilities on-screen.
• Quest bookkeeping: reveal hazards, log events, and keep progress updated as the party advances through a quest.
• New-player assistance: walk-throughs and tips that explain movement, actions, and how to search for loot.

How it improves sessions

By automating the Game Master role, the app reduces setup and recordkeeping, making sessions run more smoothly. The combination of audio cues and on-screen events helps create a more immersive atmosphere while keeping gameplay fair and consistent. Digital tools also reduce bookkeeping errors so groups can spend more time on strategy and roleplay.

Getting started

Download the app on an iPhone, open a new quest, and follow the in-app prompts to create hero profiles. Use the built-in tutorial if you’re unfamiliar with the basic mechanics—movement, actions, and treasure searches are all demonstrated step by step.
