Castle Explorer is an educational video game by DK Multimedia, released in 1996 for Windows and Macintosh.[1] It allows players to discover the inner workings of a castle structure within a Medieval context.[2] It is based upon the Incredible Cross-Sections: Castle book by illustrator Stephen Biesty and author Richard Platt.
The player is a page who is given the task of being a spy to enter the castle and gather information for the king.
The Vancouver Sun described it as "compelling, fascinating and informative".[3] GeekOut UK thought it "wove RP and intrigue into the educational content".[4] Feibel said it was "Elaborate, exciting, informative. Mandatory!".[5] Sun Sentinel said the educational content was let down by poor gameplay.[6] Meanwhile, a book that explored the series felt it was a good mix of the two.[7]
