> – Is the hole in the market simply “A kid friendly dungeon crawler that is available at department stores and toy stores?” Because we did have HeroScape for a while there, and I don’t really know if nothing else has taken over that niche.

That’s pretty much it. IIRC, We also had Dungeon, Dragon Quest, the D&D Electronic boardgame, and other games that barely anyone remembers. HQ was early to market, had good components, and a good game system. Dark Tower and the D&D Red Box (or blue box) were other well-remembered games, so, while they were not dungeoncrawlers, it’s not like HQ was the only dungeon-themed game we remember. Interestingly, while Restoration Games is returning HQ and DT to the hobby game market, the D&D Red Box is sold in mass market stores, and now Jaws of a Lion is in Target!
