HeroQuest Official Quest Order

Your unofficial source for the Official HeroQuest quest play order.

What order should I play the HeroQuest Expansions in? This is a question that I see often. Hopefully this I’ll put your mind at ease. Here is the official Quest Order, confirmed by Zargon on Twitter[1] Avalon Bill on the Avalon Hill Discord[2].

I will attempt to keep this page updated with the most up-to-date list from Avalon Hill. If you notice any errors or corrections that need to be made, feel free to reach out to me in the comment section below.

Please Note: The Classic quests listed here are not part of Avalon Hill’s official Play Order and are purely the opinion of fans in the order they take place, nor is this a list that must be adhered to. It is completely up to the players on what order the quests can be played, this is merely a suggestion. This list also is not in order of difficulty, just because a quest appears later in the list does not mean it is more difficult than a quest that appears earlier, quest difficulty is varying throughout the journey.

This is really awesome, including the EU campaigns is really great, thank you so much for doing this. If I’m not mistaken, the only official content missing would be the classic Japanese campaign (Neef Island), but I’m not sure if that would fit somewhere in the list or if it should be played as an individual spin-off campaign from scratch. What do you think?

The Japanese Edition questbook I think may be played at any time, it is not linked with any other events of HeroQuest campaigns. I see it an aisle adventure happening in islands far away from the Empire domains, where Mentor could send the Heroes for another quest fighting for the free peoples, therefore I think it could be compatible with the rest of HeroQuest stories, not an alternate Universe needed in this case, imho.
