Helm: Ancient Greece Logo

A 1-6 player Modular Adventure System set in mythic Ancient Greece.

What the Game Is

Helm is a cooperative adventure where players choose a hero like Odysseus or Heracles to explore dangerous locations, fight mythic monsters, and gain power by collecting items and custom deity dice.

Survive Together, Win Alone
If anyone dies, the party loses—but only the hero with the most glory is crowned the true Champion.

How It Works

Players rolling custom deity dice

1. Roll your dice to see what actions your chosen deity grants you.

2. Spend your dice to explore rooms, fight monsters, or gain powerful items.

3. Work together to defeat the final boss and claim victory for the gods!

Why It Stands Out

Scalable Epic

Play a quick 30-minute skirmish with a Location Pack, or add a Boss Pack for a 90-minute mythic raid.

Concurrent Gameplay

No downtime. Everyone rolls, plans, and acts together.

Push-Your-Luck Combat

Spend your hard-earned 'Blessing Dice' to guarantee a kill now, or hoard them for the Boss? Every roll matters.

Divine Dice Engine

Build your pool of Strategy (White), War (Red), Armor (Blue), and Healing (Yellow) dice to trigger unique Hero powers.

Tactile Tracking

The rotating Leader's Compass passes from player to player, tracking the escalating Threat and Monster Health.

Replayable by Design

With a library of heroes, locations, and monsters to collect, no two adventures are ever the same.

A Fully Modular Adventure System

Helm is designed to be collected and customized. Every pack is independent yet fully cross-compatible. Plug-and-play any Hero into any Location against any Boss.

Library of Legends

Collect independent Hero, Quest, and Boss packs to build your own personal mythology.

Hero Packs: Odysseus, Heracles...
Location Packs: Olympic Greece, Crete...
Boss Packs: The Hydra, Talos...
