Pages: 16 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink.

Every fact is checked against named source pages from UNESCO, ICOMOS (for UNESCO), the Old Akko website, Heritage Malta, the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Tourism, the Jordan Tourism Board, English Heritage, the Temple Church and the Museum of the Order of St John (checked 3 Nov 2026), and the sources are listed on the pack’s credits page.

There are no photos in this pack: all drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Drawings are simplified impressions: not photographs, not reconstructions of any real castle, not to scale, and not copied from any site plan, map, guidebook, print, photo or book. Not affiliated with UNESCO, ICOMOS, Heritage Malta, the Deputy Ministry of Tourism of Cyprus, the Jordan Tourism Board, the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, the Old Akko & Nazareth Development Company, English Heritage, the Temple Church, the Museum of the Order of St John, St John Ambulance, any government, the UK government or any museum. Their names, and the names of the places they look after, are used only to identify the places and sources we quote.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
