About this game
The Enchanted Tower turns hide-and-seek into a proper family game: one sorcerer hides a key under one of sixteen spaces, and everyone else races around the board rolling dice to find it before he can grab it back. Find the key and you get first crack at the tower's six padlocks, but pick the wrong one and you are back to searching while trying to remember which locks are already ruled out. Get the right lock, and the princess jumps free, and you win on the spot. It is quick, tactile and just tense enough to keep little kids leaning in.
