Go out in search of lost treasure in Blackthorn Castle.

Fans of classic point and click adventure games.

Why we picked this?

Uncle Henry is back at it again. This time he needs you and your newly acquired archeology skills to help him track down a mysterious artifact known to be hidden in the Castle Blackthorn in England. To find the long lost treasure you must pick the correct paths, solve puzzles, and search through old structures with just a tap. A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

Blackthorn Castle is about as classic of a point and click adventure game as you can get. Well, that’s if you look past the beautifully rendered forest scenes and passageways, but why would you want to do that?

Going from scene to scene just to get to where you need to go can be a bit of a slog.
