Midnight Castle: Chapter One: Repairing the Compass

Our Midnight Castle Walkthrough is a living play-along guide that features some helpful tips, hints, and advice on how to play the game. We've also included more detailed information on how to tackle each quest you're given as you make your way deeper into the depths of the castle in search of the Mystery Chamber in this exciting free-to-play hidden object adventure game from Big Fish Games!


When you first arrive at Midnight Castle, Professor Pinfeathers will inform you that your Uncle's compass can help you find the Chamber of Wishes, but that it was broken around the time of your uncle's death.
