07 A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you start.
What is Be a Hero?
Be a Hero is a lifestyle RPG and wellness app. Walking, exploring parks, working out, reading and cooking earn XP across five skills. As you make progress, your hero levels up and unlocks new gear. Small things count here.
Is Be a Hero a gamified habit tracker?
It brings gamified progress to five everyday activities: walking, exploring parks, workouts, reading and cooking. You earn skill XP and unlock gear for your hero, with no streak resets when you take a break. The focus is these five skills, rather than a custom to-do list. See how real-life progress works.
How do I join the alpha?
Add your email to the alpha list on this page. Be a Hero is still in development, so signing up registers your interest rather than giving you immediate access. The short signup questions help us learn what you want from the game.
Will it be on iPhone and Android?
Be a Hero is being built for iPhone and Android. Join the alpha list and tell us which phone you use. We’ll share availability and access details as testing opens up.
Do I need to be fit to get started?
You can start with the things that fit your day: a short walk, a few pages or a meal you make at home. Workouts are one part of the game, and you can choose the skills you want to work on. Go at your own pace.
What happens if I miss a day?
Your hero will be right where you left them. There are no streaks to keep alive and no lost progress for taking a break. Come back when you’re ready and pick up your next quest.
How do I earn gear and rewards?
Real-life activities earn skill XP. Level up to unlock gear, open earned chests and collect pieces for your hero’s wardrobe. Alpha members also get the exclusive Alpha Cape and a free Legendary Chest.
