The World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game TM comes to Yoto’s platform in a choice-driven adventure audio format, transforming Yoto players from bed time wind down companions to compelling screen-free entertainment devices
New York, March 13, 2025 – Yoto, the interactive audio platform for kids and creator of the award-winning Yoto Player and Yoto Mini, today announced the expansion of its content library to include ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Forge Your Quest’, Yoto’s first choice-driven adventure audio card. This immersive, interactive quest brings the world of Dungeons & Dragons to life for a new generation, allowing listeners to shape their own unique audio story with the press of a button.
The collaboration between Yoto and leading fantasy entertainment franchise ‘Wizards of the Coast’ has resulted in the first-of-its-kind interactive Dungeons & Dragons production, following the strong demand for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Academy in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The launch comes at a milestone moment for Dungeons & Dragons, which recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first publication.
Created collaboratively by Yoto and Wizards of the Coast for young listeners aged eight and over, the action-packed story follows a misfit band of adventurers – Juna the dwarf druid, Bats the kobold bard, and Tyradel the elf rogue – on a thrilling journey through the mysterious tunnels of the Undermountain. Along the way, listeners encounter mysterious flora, outsmart thieves, and battle monstrous creatures on their quest for a magical ring hidden by the infamous beholder, Xanathar. Players decide their class –wizard or fighter–and use the Yoto Player and Yoto Mini’s buttons to navigate through countless story paths.
“We’re delighted to bring the first choice-driven audio card to Yoto, and I can’t think of a better way to kick things off than with an action-adventure set deep in the tunnels of Undermountain,” said Nicole Torre, Yoto’s Audio Producer, North America. “We hope young listeners will love this immersive introduction to the exciting world of Dungeons & Dragons as they forge their own quest!”
“This interactive audio format sets the bar for future storytelling and is game-changing for how Yoto approaches kids’ audio experiences. We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Wizards of the Coast to bring this Dungeons & Dragons card to life,” said Michelle Sartori, Yoto’s Senior Manager of Licensed Content, North America. “For fifty years, Dungeons & Dragons has been a gateway to boundless creativity and storytelling. It’s our hope that Dungeons & Dragons: Forge Your Quest will inspire a new generation of adventurers to lean into the magic of world-building.”
“This audio card captures the heart of Dungeons & Dragons, and continues the game’s rich legacy of imaginative play,” said Paul Morrissey, Publishing Lead at Wizards of the Coast. “We’re excited to see this beloved world expanded for Yoto listeners, helping them take the reins to their own adventures and use their Yoto in a brand new way they haven’t experienced before.”
Dungeons & Dragons: Forge Your Quest will be available for purchase on March 13th, 2025, for $14.99 and is suitable for listeners aged 8 and over. The Yoto Player and Yoto Mini (2024 Edition) are available to purchase for $99.99 and $69.99, respectively.
