When HeroQuest was originally published, the title "HeroQuest" was a trademark owned by Games Workshop and HeroQuest was labeled as having been "Developed with Games Workshop". GW is not mentioned on the current HeroQuest web page.

Finally, a HeroQuest Twitter account was created in August 2020 to highlight this "board game of high adventure in a world of magic".
