HeroQuest Search Tracker is a lightweight, table-friendly companion that tracks which heroes have searched which rooms for treasure during a quest. It removes the need for coins, tokens, or memory checks and keeps the game flowing without changing the rules.
This release focuses on clarity, reliability, and real-table usability.
✨ Core Features
Board & Room Tracking
Faithful HeroQuest board layout with clearly defined rooms
Each room tracks treasure searches per hero
At-a-glance indicators show who has and hasn’t searched a room
Rooms can be disabled if they are not used in the current quest
Hero Management
Supports any number of heroes (beyond the base four)
Classic heroes supported out of the box (Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard)
Heroes can be added or removed at any time
Removing a hero also removes them from all tracked room searches
Visual Search Status
Room-level view shows which heroes have searched
Hero-focused view highlights which rooms a single hero has searched
No need to click through lists to understand board state
Designed to be readable from across the table
State Persistence & Sharing
Automatically saves progress between sessions
Export the entire board state as a shareable link
Import a saved state on another device (phone, tablet, laptop)
Ideal for swapping devices mid-game or sharing with your group
Session Controls
One-click Reset Searches (heroes and rooms remain intact)
Board image toggle for clearer contrast when needed
Designed for touch and mouse input
⚠️ Known Limitations (Current Version)
Board layout is fixed to the classic HeroQuest map
Treasure search tracking only (no traps, secret doors, or monsters)
Import replaces the current state (no merge)
Hero colour markers repeat if many heroes are added
Reset clears search progress only (not heroes or room configuration)
These limitations are intentional to keep the tool focused and fast during play.
