Castle Hill

A new Founding map: a walled castle on a terraced hill, and the courtyard is yours to fill.

Published 23 October 2026

  • Castle Hill: a new Founding map
  • Stone walls, towers and a gatehouse
  • Rides in the courtyard and on every terrace
  • Normal, Hard and ♛ Baron goals

Castle Hill starts at the foot of a terraced hill, with the castle road climbing past five terraces of old orchards to the gatehouse. The Earl has opened the gates on one condition: not a stone of the old walls is to be moved, so guests go in by the gate or over the walls on a walkway, and flat land comes in narrow terraces. Win with 600 guests, a rating of 800, two rides inside the castle walls, rides on four levels of the hill and the loan paid off by the end of Year 2. Hard and ♛ Baron ask for more.

Everything in this update (5)
  • 🏰 Castle Hill, a new Founding map: a walled castle on a terraced hill above the town, with round towers and a gatehouse over the castle road. The walls are a listed monument, so guests go in by the gate or over the walls on a walkway; put rides in the courtyard and on every terrace on the way up
  • Play without an account starts at once: on a slower computer a first click on Campaign could open the sign-up form instead of ▶ Play now
  • Moving a ride or a stall onto guests moves them aside, as building does, so nobody is left standing inside it
  • Moving a ride’s entrance or exit past the edge of the map says so and where to put it instead
  • The latest five updates on the homepage, and on phones the Free / Founding Baron badge stays on one line
