Castle of Riddles is a text adventure computer game released by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro in 1982 and the Acorn Electron in 1984. It was part of a series of text adventures written for, or ported to the BBC Micro. The player must use a simple 'verb-noun' format (eg 'Go North', 'Get lamp') to navigate a castle, solve problems and avoid traps in order to recover an object of power from the wizard of the castle.
