Yes. Blacklidge Castle in Tucson was featured on HGTV’s Ugliest Houses in America (Season 7, Episode 5, aired January 28, 2026). On the show, it was referred to as the “DnD Castle - Dungeons and Desert.”
Because the castle has strong Dungeons & Dragons / medieval fantasy energy - towers, gates, stone textures, hidden spaces, and a “quest-like” atmosphere. The goal is to create a real-world fantasy world you can eventually step into.
Not at this time. The castle is currently undergoing renovations and is not open for public tours or walk-ins.
