SMALL WINS. SHARED ENCOURAGEMENT.

Be kind. Play fairly. Protect privacy. Let people progress at their own pace.

OUR SHARED STARTING POINT

Where these
guidelines apply.

Use these principles in official Be a Hero community spaces, including our Discord, and in your interactions with other players and the people making the game. They also apply to names and content you share through Be a Hero where those features are available.

Follow the rules of the platform you are using too. These guidelines sit alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. They do not mean that private conversations or independent, player-run spaces are monitored by Be a Hero.

Make room for every hero.

People arrive with different abilities, backgrounds and starting points. Welcome newcomers, give others space to learn and celebrate the progress they choose to share.

Disagree with ideas without attacking the person. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, threats, bullying and sexual harassment have no place here. A joke is not a reason to target someone.

Respect boundaries. If someone asks you to stop contacting them, stop. Do not follow them into another space or use another account to continue.

Real life comes first.

A short walk, a home-cooked meal or a few pages of a book can be a win. Avoid judging someone’s body, fitness, food choices, pace or time away. Do not pressure others to chase XP at the expense of rest or their wellbeing.

Keep shared challenges and advice safe. Do not encourage dangerous exercise, extreme dieting, trespassing or distracted play near roads. Respect local rules, other people and the places you explore.

Share personal experiences as experiences, not diagnoses or promises of a cure. Be a Hero supports general fitness and wellbeing; it does not replace qualified medical advice or emergency help.

Keep personal things personal.

Only share information you are comfortable making public. Avoid posting your home address, live location, private contact details or information that identifies a child. Never share passwords, sign-in codes or other account credentials.

Ask before posting someone else’s photo, private message or personal information. When sharing a screenshot, hide details that are not needed. Do not pressure people to reveal their identity, health information or anything they would rather keep to themselves.

Keep the camp welcoming.

Choose names, images and posts that suit a community welcoming people aged 13 and over. Do not share sexually explicit material, graphic violence, hateful imagery or content that encourages harm.

Keep posts relevant and give links useful context. Avoid spam, repeated promotion, scams, requests for other people’s account access and misleading claims. Be clear about any connection you have to something you recommend.

Share work you own or have permission to use, and credit its creator where appropriate. Do not impersonate another player or present yourself as an official Be a Hero representative.

Earn your own adventure.

Play honestly. Do not use exploits, automation or tampered activity data to gain an unfair advantage, disrupt the game or interfere with another player’s progress.

Alpha testing will uncover rough edges. If you find a bug or a possible security issue, email beahero@tinkr.studio. Explain what happened and how to reproduce it where safe. Do not publish instructions that could expose accounts or help others abuse the service.

Help shape what comes next.

Honest feedback is welcome, including when something is frustrating or does not work for you. Describe the problem, what you expected and what would make it better. Useful criticism is about the experience, not someone’s character.

Be a Hero is still in development. Features and plans can change, and joining the alpha list does not guarantee immediate access. Please give others room to ask questions, and check the FAQ before repeating a question.

WHEN SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT

Raise a concern.

If something in a Be a Hero community space makes you feel unsafe or appears to break these guidelines, step away from the conversation and email us. Avoid public call-outs, retaliation or encouraging others to pile on.

beahero@tinkr.studio

Include where it happened, a relevant link or username, and a short explanation. Screenshots can help, but remove unrelated personal information and never send passwords or sign-in codes. Use the platform’s own safety and reporting tools where available.

Be a Hero is a small independent project, not a round-the-clock support service. If there is an immediate danger, contact your local emergency services rather than waiting for an email response.

What happens next?

Concerns are considered in context. As described in our Terms of Service, misuse may lead to access being restricted or removed, subject to applicable law. If you think a decision is mistaken, explain the situation by email rather than trying to get around a restriction.
