The king has
entrusted you, a lowly page, with a dangerous mission: enter
Baron Mortimer's castle in disguise and foil the baron's plot to
seize the royal crown for himself!
In your quest for
clues, you'll encounter the castle's inhabitants--from the
servants who tend to the baron's every need to the alchemist who mixes
strange potions in his quest for forbidden knowledge.
Using the Castle
Guide map, you move from the dank, dark recesses of the dungeon
to the high watchtowers where soldiers scan the horizon for
enemies. You'll watch jousts and listen to troubadours. You'll
gather tools and gold coins, search for hidden keyholes and
doorways, and piece together a long-forgotten map to find a
hidden escape tunnel. But beware! And think carefully before you
answer any questions the castle characters ask you--while you spy
on the baron, someone might be spying on you! Will you make your
way back to the king's court--or spend the rest of your days in
the dungeon?
Castle Explorer features the intricate detailed cross-sections of
acclaimed artist Stephen Biesty with sweeping panoramas that you
can scroll across in all directions, pinpointing people and
places that interest you and clicking them for pop-up windows and
hyperlinks that tell you all about them. Through the drawings
you'll enter brilliantly rendered 3D rooms where you'll interact
with the live-action characters and manipulate treasure chests,
flasks, and more than 80 other 3D objects as you gather
information in your search.
