Afraid of what might be lurking behind the gates of the Haunted House: Cursed Castle? The enchantment begins Oct. 8—and luck you! The Head Witches have let us in on some secret details about each room to help you muster up the courage to defeat Burnadette the Dragon and lift the castle’s curse. These tips will help you to prepare for the things you might run into as you take on the Cursed Castle—and never look back!
Doombridge
The drawbridge to the castle give ominous hints at what lurks ahead. If you cross, you’re asking for chaos. Stay close to your fellow knights!
Creepy Keep
The Keep remains dark—once a luxurious estate, now a grave place. Read closely the curse that looms above.
Throne of Bones
Not even the royal King can save you. He refused to leave his throne, and now he’s a gold-crowned pile of bones. The King proves that there’s no reward in being stubborn—his fate brought on by a dangerous coven.
Hall of Horrors
Don’t let the light from the fire’s glow fool you. The gallery of happy faces from long ago now represents a tragic tale.
Burnadette’s Banquet
Burnadette the Dragon ruined the royal banquet! Since then, insects and rodents have scoured the room for crumbs. Watch where you’re going—you may step on one.
The Skullery
Rancid meat and molded bread, the cook has dropped dead with a cleaver to the head. When you walk through, hold your nose, death by smell is no way to go!
Grand “Scare”case and Ominous Outlook
Climb your way to the tower door. Take a moment to breathe. Have a bird’s-eye view over this scene of tragedy.
Tower of Terror
High in the tower, the bored princess waits. She uses chalk to count down the days. Can you help her escape? No. You must defeat the dragon for the curse to surely break.
Wicked Wardrobe
All the pretty dresses hang in a row. No longer worn because there’s nowhere to go. If you find the magic door, watch your footing for an unexpected drop!
Ghostly Grounds
Shrubbery magically remains green. Could it be that here the dragon creeps? To avoid the dragon’s claws, go with haste, through this tangled maze of haunted waste.
Witch’s Workshop
In the witch’s lair where cauldron bubbles, let there be toiling to cease the cursed trouble. Maybe some wing of moth or eye of newt? Surely you’ll find something to make the curse dilute.
Catacombs
There may be two ways out, but the Catacombs you must go through. In this basement of bones, piles of dead knights watch for you to make a move.
Dragon’s Dungeon and Putrid Passage
Here, the angry dragon looms your way. Forever in the dungeon you may stay. It’s best you hurry down the spinning path, if you hope to escape Burnadette’s wrath.
Final Rest
Defeat the dragon to stay alive. Go to the town for safety. You’ve almost arrived. If you look back now, you might find the dragon’s blinking eye. Could it be that it has survived?
