About Destinies
This application is a digital companion for the Destinies board game.
Destinies is a competitive, story-driven, board game of adventure and exploration. You require the Destinies board game to be able to use this app.
Launch the app, select the scenario you want to play, and be introduced to a story of dark fantasy and destinies waiting to be fulfilled. The app will guide you on how to set up your board game including your character skills, starting items, and the map tiles laid before you waiting to be explored.
The app will introduce story-driven dynamic events and help to guide you through the ever-changing game world. The app also remembers the choices you make so there will be real consequences that often change the state of the game world forever.
Each item in the game has a unique QR code that, using the game’s Scan&Play technology, can be scanned to determine how you interact with the world, other characters, and epic challenges. Which items you scan and when will greatly affect the outcome of various interactions.
Your player character card also comes with two QR codes that can be scanned, each one representing a different possible destiny to fulfill and thus win the game.
Each scenario should last 120-150 minutes, and players will be able to choose from standalone scenarios or scenarios linked as part of a campaign.
Once the app and a scenario are downloaded, the app doesn't require any internet connection during gameplay. The language can be selected within the app. The app saves your progress so you may resume a scenario later on.

I just paid $60 for this game from my local game board store. I am using the Steam Destinies app and no matter what I do the application is not able to use my external logitech camera. Waste of money.2 found this helpful
Really fun boardgame, but since the latest update this app (which is required to play) just crashes when the main menu should load. Having to play on a phone now which is not ideal. In the discussions it seems this is happening to many people trying to run this on a Mac. Can't recommend if they are just going to leave the companion app in a broken state.1 found this helpful
The app is very smooth and keeps track of everything for you.
Ok... so mixed. I love the concept of this game. If you enjoyed Arkum Mansion, then this is sorta like that, but with a better game UI with the camera. LOVED the camera as it added a little mystery on what the game can do. THAT SAID... - Managing all grey pieces was annoying. We kept losing track, and honestly the pieces don't matter. - The game feels a little the same, since the underlying rules don't change. So after 2 games, you are like.. OH, GOT THIS. - Map was also.. kinda pointless, since there was the app. - Player interaction was null. It's a single player game as a race. Soo.. not saying NO, but it's a solid design that just BARELY crosses the finish line. If they made a expansion that fixes a lot of the flaws, I'd buy it.
Beware - Linux Webcam will not work with this, makes it unplayable on laptop
App broken on MacOS. Game will crash soon after startup Reported around June 2025 (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3528500/the-app-is-broken) and not yet fixed as of today, 26th October, 4 months later.
