Northampton Castle VR 2.0

It's 1222, and the great castle of Northampton is hosting a tournament. Jack, the miller's son, is invited to take part in a number of quests to help a knight get ready for the tournament held later that day. Through his eyes, we take a tour around Northampton castle and see what life was like for the residents there, with a number of mini games and quests, culminating in an actual tournament, all in Virtual Reality.

Following on from the very successful tour of Northampton's Great Hall, Northampton Borough Council, the Friends of Northampton Castle and Pixel Creative Technologies invite you to witness and experience life in Northampton Castle. Learn about the castle, preparations for a medieval tournament, local legends, and take part in mini game challenges. There are three distinct journeys you can choose as you move through the castle. Which one will you choose?

You will need a Cardboard viewer to view the experience.
