The door has locked behind you
You and your friends enter the Wizarding School and discover a hidden magic emporium filled with glowing potions, enchanted books and wands. Suddenly, the door locks behind you and a message appears: a legendary artefact, lost for decades, is hidden beyond a sealed door at the back of the shop — and the only way out leads through the forbidden wing of the castle.
But beware… a monstrous guardian protects the hidden chamber. You have sixty minutes to defeat the guardian, solve the magic puzzles and escape — or be sealed inside forever. It’s a bright, wonder-filled, family-favourite adventure — low on fear, high on magic, and a delight for younger wizards and grown-ups alike.
