If you spawn your hero when the game starts you can use the self.Time from the hero actor.
Contrain the self.Time to a global real attribute (HeroTimer).
To have it look like: 00:00
Make an actor do display the time, use the Display Text Beh. and use this expression:
floor(floor(( game.HeroTimer %3600)/60)/10)..floor((floor( game.HeroTimer %3600)/60)%10)..":"..floor(( game.HeroTimer %60)/10)..floor( game.HeroTimer %10)

Tested and it works.

@HenrikChristesnsen Thank you I'll give it a go also will the score save as in high score

It is not saved before YOU save it. You will have to use the SAVE behaviour before the attribute is saved.
But the attribute is global which means that you can change scene and display the Hero Active Time on a GAME OVER scene.

Hope this answered your question.
