You and your friends have been cordially invited to attend Wizzle Wozzle’s Academy of Wizardry! At this world-famous school, students are trained in the magical arts under the Headmaster Margaret Meedstool. In order to graduate, the Academy only accepts the most talented aspiring apprentices. But first, they must pass the Academy’s entry exam - The TriWizard Trials!

This game can be experienced online and IRL. For the remote online version, we're provided with an live avatar who will interact with the objects that we find and perform the actions necessary to progress through the game. We were also given a unique webpage that provides us with a 360-degree map of the room along with hotspots to click on for close-up views.

The puzzles were creative and definitely correlated with the theme! There was a good amount puzzles that we had to solve and many felt "magical" with reveals that you would probably see in a Harry Potter movie. Every task that we needed to complete made us feel like we were one step closer to proving ourselves to the headmaster. There was a clear path to follow which was presented in a "to-do list" format.

The set design for this game was spectacular. From the colorful lighting to the peculiar creatures, it looked like we're on the movie set of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them"! Like other Impropable Escapes game we've played, it just takes us out of this world and transports us into a fantasyland. This room would have been a lot more enjoyable to play in person. There were a lot of tasks that we were eager to do on our own but was only able to watch the avatar with envious eyes. But given that we're unable to travel the distance right now, we're definitely not disappointed to have had the chance to experience this online!
