Castle Explorer is an educational video game by DK Multimedia, released in 1996 for Windows and Macintosh. [1] It allows players to discover the inner workings of a castle structure within a medieval context. [2] It is based upon the Incredible Cross-Sections: Castle book by illustrator Stephen Biesty and author Richard Platt.

The player is a page who is given the task of being a spy to enter the castle and gather information for the king.

The Vancouver Sun described it as "compelling, fascinating and informative". [3] GeekOut UK thought it "wove RP and intrigue into the educational content". [4] Feibel said it was "Elaborate, exciting, informative. Mandatory!". [5] Sun Sentinel said the educational content was let down by poor gameplay. [6] Meanwhile, a book that explored the series felt it was a good mix of the two. [7]
