Your wand has been taken

You’ve graduated from the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but you’ve been brought back to solve one last mystery. Only this time, you sense something sinister at work. The professor has gone mad — mad with power! You realise he’s tricked you by trapping you in the room, and within an hour he will extract all magic from you.

Stripped of your wand and powers, you have sixty minutes to use your wits, retrieve your wand and escape before you lose all magic forever. A warm, wondrous magic adventure — low on fear, big on charm, and one of our toughest puzzle rooms.
