THE REAL-LIFE QUEST

A lifestyle RPG.
Your everyday adventure.

Be a Hero turns walking, exploring, workouts, reading and cooking into progress for your fantasy hero.

Made by Tinkr Studio, it brings the feeling of levelling up into real life. Choose activities that fit your day, earn skill XP and collect gear as your hero grows with you.

THE IDEA

What is a wellness RPG?

A role-playing game gives you a character to develop. In a wellness RPG, everyday activities move that character forward. Be a Hero connects real-life progress to five skills, so a walk, a workout or a few minutes with a book can all count.

You do not need to focus on every skill at once. Start with the activities that fit your life and choose your own pace. Workouts are part of the game, alongside learning, cooking and time outdoors.

It is a game for general fitness and wellbeing, not medical advice. Choose activities appropriate for you, follow local rules when exploring and stop if anything hurts.

FIVE WAYS TO GROW

Everyday activities.
Five hero skills.

Endurance

Walk

Turn your steps into Endurance XP. The walk to the shops, a fresh-air break or a longer wander all belong in your hero’s story.

Exploration

Explore parks

Find nearby parks on the in-game map, head inside and start a visit. Time outdoors becomes Exploration XP as you discover real places.

Strength

Work out

Follow a guided workout plan built around your starting point. The on-screen trainer shows the movements, and your plan adapts as you get stronger.

Knowledge

Read a little

Make time for a short read. The in-game library covers wellbeing, habits, money and more, with Knowledge XP for learning something new.

Cooking

Make a meal

Choose a recipe, follow along and build confidence in the kitchen. Cooking XP makes a home-made meal part of your progress.

PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE

A different take on
gamified habit tracking.

If you are looking for a gamified habit tracker, Be a Hero gives everyday actions a game-like reward: XP, skill levels and a growing wardrobe for your hero. Its focus is the five skills above, rather than a custom to-do list or a tracker for every possible habit.

There are no streaks to keep alive and no lost progress for taking a break. Miss a day and your hero stays where you left them. Come back when you are ready and pick up your next quest.

That means progress can be small. A short walk or a meal you make at home can fit into an ordinary day. You choose the activities; your hero gives you another way to see what you have done.

YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR LOOK

Earn XP.
Make it your own.

Real-life activities earn XP in their matching skill. Level up to unlock gear, open earned chests and collect pieces for your wardrobe. Mix the pieces you have earned into a look that feels like yours.

  1. Choose an activity in one of the five skills.
  2. Earn skill XP and work towards the next level.
  3. Unlock gear and collect rewards for your hero.
