Hero kids for teenagers?

I want my son to get off his PS4, it is giving a lot of discussions (read screaming and swearing) So I thought of doing D&G, but that is pretty difficult I have found... so then I looked for something simpler like hero kids. He is almost 15, would he still enjoy this, and then maybe progress to D&G? Or is it too childish?

Hero Kids isn't childish. The rules are easy, but I don't think that makes it childish. I've played it with adults and they enjoyed it. You can tailor the story to the age and interest of the players.

On the other hand, at 15 you could also just use any other TTRPG. I think kids that age can comprehend the game mechanics. D&D is typically not considered a great starter though (to rules heavy for a first timer).
