Dungeon

An overview of the Knightmare dungeon and how it changed over the years.

Over its eight series, the Knightmare dungeon changed. Starting with hand-painted dungeon rooms by David Rowe, the dungeon started to use real-life locations such as dungeons and forests in series 4 and finally moved to fully CGI generated environments in series 8.

CGI

CGI elements were integral to Knightmare, even during its early years. The creators would eventually revert to a full CGI dungeon for the final series.

Locations

The town of Wolfenden, which appeared in Series 5 and Series 6.

The middle series of Knightmare used real-life locations as backgrounds to the dungeon.
