Castle Trouble

You don't have to beat the army. Just keep the castle usable until it leaves.

The knights fight outside while the castle falls apart inside. Send out your maintenance crew, answer the bells and get through fourteen sieges across three keeps.

YOUR NEXT “ONE MORE GO”

A small game with plenty to get stuck into.

You are the overlooked staff who know the castle better than the heroes do.

Read the bells ahead and station a worker where the next strike lands.

Fires, rams, pests, curses, wounded residents and a jammed lift, in six rooms and four crews.

Four difficulty tiers with a medal each, workshop upgrades, staff paths and an Endless Siege.

TRY A LITTLE. PLAY A LOT.

Get a taste of Castle Trouble.

GET COMFORTABLE

Play your way.

Pick a worker and a room, then give that worker a job, or station them in a room to meet the next bell. Click or tap the castle and the buttons, use the keyboard (Q and E for rooms, 1 to 4 for staff, Enter to assign, T to station, S for soup defence, Space to pause) or a gamepad.

Pause at any time. Four difficulty tiers, a slower incident schedule, faster repairs, an integrity floor for the kitchen and Great Hall, a story mode, reduced motion and a high-contrast castle. Separate music and effects volume and a mute. Buttons are at least 44 pixels tall on a desktop window and on a phone held upright (the six room tabs and the bell chip are shorter, 34 and 32 pixels, on a phone held sideways), all text is at least 12 pixels, and the whole siege fits one screen on a desktop, a phone held either way and a handheld window.
