“You are in a small cottage. There is a fishing pole here.”

Now you can “GO EAST” and “LIGHT LAMP” with the best of them. Canst thou master Action Castle before death claims thee? Action Castle is the original Parsely game and the first in a series of massively multiplayer, live-action text-adventure games from Memento Mori Theatricks.

Parsely games are inspired by Ye Olde Text Parsers from days of yore, but substituting a live human for the computer parser. Parsely games are small, portable and fun for (almost) all occasions.

Action Castle comes with the Parsely rules on one side and the Action Castle map and game guide on the other and is presented as a z-fold pamphlet printed on 11″ x 17″ high quality, glossy color stock.

• Play them anywhere! On trips, in long lines, camping, at game cons…
• Play them with anyone! Young or old, expert or total n00b
• Play with a few friends or 100 random strangers at the same time

“…the best game that I have played all year” - Chris O’Neil, co-author of Kobolds Ate My Baby

“…clever, silly, well-rehearsed, & a true homage to Zork.” - Steve Jackson, game industry legend

“…the awesomest awesome.” - Scott Rubin, co-host of Geek Knights podcast

“Very rarely do new game concepts come along which impress me, but this one stands out as being something truly revolutionary. And yet, like many of the most brilliant ideas, it’s so fiendishly simply that you say, ‘Why hasn’t anybody thought of this before?’” - Andrew Looney, designer of Fluxx

“Check out a NSFW video of the demo … We missed the first part of the presentation, but here’s the prompt which kicked things off: ‘You are in a cottage. There is a fishing pole here. Exits are out.’ Hilarity ensues.” - Griffin McElroy, Joystiq
