Castle Siege at Edinburgh Castle

Medieval Life & Castles Adventure Pack

High above the city of Edinburgh, warning signals are flashing across the ramparts.

Defense plans are scrambled. Kingdom alliances are misfiled. The structure of medieval society is shifting out of place in the historical timeline. Ari Raider has detected a disruption at Edinburgh Castle, and if the feudal system is not restored, the record of medieval life could crumble like stone under siege.

In Castle Siege at Edinburgh Castle, students deploy the Rampart Rover and enter a high-stakes medieval mission. By exploring how castles were built for defense, how knights protected kingdoms, and how feudalism organized society, explorers must restore order to the timeline and defend the structure of medieval life.

This adventure blends history, government systems, and cultural understanding with story-driven exploration.
