To the greatest show in the multiverse: The KRAKEN GAME!” The players will be thrown into an adventure where they must survive rounds of competition, battling monsters, puzzles, the elements, and each other.

Guy Sclanders (Sold Out): “Congratulations! Your uncle just died... and you've inherited a magnificent castle. It's all yours. There might be one or two small issues with it, bit of a fixer-upper, then there's the minor issue of the current occupants, oh and of course the darkness at the heart of the castle but other than that! You own a castle! How cool is that? Oh and by the by, the King has declared you need to get it ready within three months, as it's a frontier castle, and the war should hit it soon...ish. Did I mention the dragon? No? Well, these are just some of the little surprises being a castle owner brings with it... Totally forgot - don't wet the castle gargoyles after midnight. Here's the key to the front door. Good luck!”
