to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful
portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they
are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where

don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished. As
time passes, a devastating truth emerges: only those brave enough
