HeroQuest Advanced Quest

About this board game

HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition is a fantasy dungeon adventure game for 2–5 players, with sessions lasting around 90 minutes. One player acts as the game master, while up to four others take on heroic characters and venture into maze-like dungeons.

As the heroes wander through each dungeon, the game master reveals the maze piecemeal. This creates a fantasy quest built around discovery, with the dungeon unfolding as the players progress. The available characters are a wizard, elf, dwarf, and barbarian.

HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition is Milton Bradley’s approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. Its miniature plastic characters and doll-house-style furniture make the setting approachable, while the expanding dungeon layout provides the framework for the players’ quests.
