NIGHT AT THE CASTLE SYNOPSIS - Sometimes a detective just needs to relax, and what better place to do that than a castle-turned-hotel? You are excited to stay in a place with so much history. But, your vacation is cut short when history repeats itself. Stories tell of a Mad Knight killing castle inhabitants with an axe more than 500 years ago, and now one of the guests is found in his room, murdered by an axe. Is that particular murder weapon just a simple
coincidence or is there more to it than that? All evidence points to one of the other guests as the murderer, but no one claims to know the dead man. Uncover the secrets of both the guests and the castle itself as you attempt to solve a murder by spending a Night at the Castle.
