The Barn Quest actually worked.
We didn't expect the kids to care about the animals. They care about the animals.
Read field note →A cooperative family adventure system · In development
Real life, turned into a shared adventure.
House of Heroes is a tactile household game — a persistent campaign your family lives inside. Make the bed, feed the cat, read a chapter. Roll the dice. Move along the map. Grow together.

What it is
A campaign your whole family is playing — in the kitchen, the hallway, all month long.
Not a chore chart. Not an app. A real, physical game system that turns the ordinary rhythms of a household into a cooperative adventure with shared progress, shared rewards, and a story you build together.

Quests come from real life.
The list on the wall is your quest list: read a book, put away clean clothes, treat people well. Complete them, earn the right to roll.
The map moves with you.
A modular world unfolds across forest, river, and dungeon tiles. Each roll moves your hero a little further along a shared path.
You progress as a family.
Adventure Coins, hero levels, and rescued monsters all belong to the household. Wins are shared. Hard days are shared too.
Tactile, by design.
Rotating dials, magnetic tokens, printed quest sheets, hand-cut tiles. Everything you touch is real. Nothing pings you.

Map progression
Movement the whole household can see.
The V3 route has 26 spaces across six landmark zones. The important part is not the illustration; it is the physical act of moving the marker after a real quest is finished.

Rebalanced the coin economy after week 2 inflation.
We hit 3,000 coins in eleven days. That was a mistake. Here's what we changed.

V3 map: we changed the route.
The old route was a straight line. Straight lines don't feel like journeys.
