The King is dead, long live the King! With no natural successor, the throne is up for grabs — and whoever finds the King’s crown and sceptre will take it. Legend has it the wily old King hid them somewhere within the castle. His loyal advisor has brought you here to find them and prove your worth.
You have sixty minutes to search the castle, solve the King’s riddles and take your rightful seat on the throne before the pretenders arrive. A richly built, story-led adventure — low on fear and high on immersion, perfect for families and first-timers.
