The 1980s board game phenomenon, Hero Quest, returned to action with a re-release in 2021. The two original 1980s expansions followed soon after, then along came brand new expansions. Not done just yet, Hasbro has just announced two further expansions coming to Hero Quest this month.
Hero Quest is a classic board game designed for up to five players. One character takes on the role of the Dungeon Master, and plays out the quest designs from a series of prescribed arrangements. Then, up to four players team-up as heroes venturing into the dungeon to engage in a range of quests. The original game features over a dozen quests with a variety of enemies, furniture, treasures and board arrangements. However, if that’s not enough for you there’s a variety of expansions, or you can even download user-created Hero Quest expansions.
And for those adventurous types, here’s a guide for how to create Hero Quest expansions!
Hero Quest Expansions
The first two Hero Quest expansions, Return of the Witch Lord and Keller’s Keep, are re-releases alongside the game itself. Subsequently, three new expansions have already been designed an released: The Mage of The Mirror, Rise of The Dread Moon and The Frozen Horror. All of these Hero Quest expansions add new rules, dungeon designs and enemies. There’s also a smaller, hero character expansion set available.
Now however, we’re going to receive two further Hero Quest expansions. These new designed sets will be available from today.

In the HeroQuest Prophecy of Telor expansion, players will gain access to 13 new quests. Each will bring them closer to revealing the secrets surrounding the Talisman of Lore and the prophecy of Telor.
