You've started in a medieval castle without any knowledge concerning it and you need to escape the castle. There're three missions you might also want to do to complete the whole story of this beautiful text adventure game.

• East - Get the torch that is not firmly attached as it's your only light source.
• West - There is a magic word written in the Great Hall. Some other areas will bring you back here whenever this magic word is spoken. There are also other magic words. To distinguish this one, we will refer to it as "return magic word".
• Up, Up - Try to get the painting here. Whoops, it reveals a secret passage to the west.
• West - There is nothing much in the prison cell except for three doors. Only one of them appears to be safe. Remember which one it is, because you will go to this part and be trapped. But don't worry, you have the return magic word. So... you are back to Great Hall.

Try to explore the castle. If your torch is blown out, return to the Great Hall, and east where you can light it again. If you come to a place where there is a sign "Abandon Ye..." on the west door then go north, south, and west to pass the west door. If you are ready, then:

1. Passing the Bengal tiger. Go to the music room, get the oboe and then go to the wine cellar room. Wash the oboe, return to the menagerie,and play the oboe, which will put the tiger to sleep.
2. Clearing the vines in the greenhouse. Go to the rotunda, and then west three times. There is a block with blood dripping on it. It's mentioned that there are doors to the east. So there are actually three doors. Go south east to the torture chamber and get the secateur. Now go to the green house and cut the vines.
3. Passing the dragon. From the green house, go north and then east. Enter the crypt, where there is a candle. If your torch is unlighted, light it. The southern wall has three doors. Choose the one, which appears to be safe (remember). Don't forget to adjust the orientation. Get the armor inside. There is also a magic word to save your game here. Return to the great hall. Go to the rotunda, southwest, south. See the candles? Blow on them and the fireplace to the west opens. Go West twice and get the sword. Go to the hall of dragons, wear the armor. and kill the dragons.
4. To get to the other part of the castle. Go to the theater, west, north, north. Sit on a strange chair and you are transported to another room.
5. Looking for keys? Go to the gazebo and get the ladder. Transport to the other part of the castle. Go to cruciform, then north. Drop ladder, climb up ladder and you'll find a statue. Get the statue but don't break it. Go down, south, and west. You are standing on the balcony above the terrace. Throw the statue. Smash! Return to the great hall. Go to the terrace and get a set of keys.
6. Passing basilisk. Go to the lord's bedroom. Open the closet, in which a basilisk is hiding. Run. You'll be safe if you don't run to the room where you came in or into a dead end. To get rid of the basilisk, go north from the lord's bedroom. North (cruciform), east. There is a magic word, whenever spoken, everything disappears somewhere else. Go south and say the magic word.
7. Fetching the Star of diamond. Bring the set of keys with you. Go to the lord's chamber. Go south, and down until you come to the nursery room. Go west. Notice the furnace? Unlock and open it, and you can get the Star.
8. Exploring rooms behind the hall of the dragon. Go to the catacomb east of it. Go southeast and then northeast. Keep trying to go northeast until you find a bridge. Cross it and you will find a chained troll. If you have the keys with you, unlock it. He'll steal the keys from you, but you don't need them anymore as you have the star of diamond. Go east, north, and west to the edge of a pit. Go down and you have entered a Zimbu house (this one will be after you too, just like the basilisk). So grab the book fast and go up, south twice, and cross the bridge and burn it. The Zimbu can't swim!
9. Rescue the princess from the ugliest witch. Bring the book and go to the chapel. Get the cross, which the witch is afraid of. Transport to the other room. Go to the library and place the book and the bookshelf slides over revealing a downward passage. Go down twice and then northwest. Get the flask. Go southeast, northeast, and get the wand. Go southwest and down. There is a frog here. Kiss the frog and it becomes a princess. Get the princess and she'll follow you unless you say the return magic word.
10. More rooms to explore. Go to the theater,and west to a den. There's a crack in the floor. If you pour the liquid, you'll find that there is a room below. Wave the wand and go down twice. Get the box, which apparently is a triggered time bomb. Save your game here. Go to the basilisk closet, and down to the nursery room. Go south and throw the box, then go north. Wait until it explodes (takes a lot of time). Go south, northeast, west, to the fountain of champagne. Fill the flask. Go east to the tearoom, up, south, and get the bell.
11. Another magic word. Go to the rotunda, west twice, south to the talking skull. This time, it gives you some very useful advice. It mentions the well. Go there (south of the garden), and pour the champagne. You amused by something there. Return to the great hall, and go to hall of the dragon. Go to the catacombs east of it, and then northeast to a river. Fill the flask with mineral water. Return to the well and pour the water. Listen to the magic word carefully.
12. Passing the Bengal tiger again. Go to the kitchen with the wand. Go south and wave it. Presto, delicious food appears! Get it and go to the menagerie and feed the tiger.
13. Opening your way out. Get the secateur and transport to the other part of the castle. A large mirror is standing there. Break it and it allows you to go south, and south again where you find a windlass, which is used to raise and lower the drawbridge below. However the windlass is stuck, so cut the rope. Snap! The drawbridge falls down, but you're not done yet, as you need to raise the locked portcullis. Return to the great hall, and bring the bell with you. Go to the menagerie, northeast, to the room of three. Ring the bell three times and a unicorn will let you take a golden key from it. Go to the entrance, unlock the portcullis and say the magic word from the well.
14. The final thing to do. You have the star diamond, princess, and have opened the gate. The last thing is to demolish the castle. Now, go to the reception room, where there is a chandelier swaying around. Light the chandelier and go to the stable, and burn the hay. Oops, you drop your torch. Don't attempt to retrieve it, rather run east twice, south, west, and south twice, to finish this incredible game.
