You might even be the missing piece of a puzzle set in motion long ago, in a time long forgotten.

You two have been brought here for a purpose. Hope will lead you on to an eerie Graveyard and have you descend down into the dark waters of the Foundry. Outside the Keep, you will discover the story of Rockbury, it’s inhabitants, and plans of a resistance formed against the King to escape this icy place. Your journey leads from the dark prison through the royal halls to the outside. Freeing yourselves from your cells and escaping the Keep is only the beginning - but does one truly escape Castle Rock? Fresh mysteries await, and you’ll have to make some choices about how to proceed. Locked up in the dungeons, deep in the bowels of Castle Rock, you and a fellow prisoner must seek a way out and return to stand again beneath the icy Antarctic skies - but escaping this nightmare will not be so easy, let alone escaping the castle itself. Can you two escape together, or will you be trapped… forever? Just be aware that nothing is what it seems in this mysterious Antarctic adventure. Secrets and riddles are hidden in the shadows. ‘Missing Women’ and ‘With Dinah’ has been delivered in partnership with The Auckland Project, Creative Youth Opportunities, and Bishop Auckland Town Hall, and made possible with funding from Arts Council England County Durham Community Foundation Art Fund and Durham County Council.You and your fellow prisoner are trapped in the realm of Castle Rock - were you betrayed, or simply not that clever? To escape, you must explore the sinister castle for puzzles and plot your escape together.
