The premise

Your wand has been taken

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, the only way out leads through the forbidden wing of the castle.

But beware… a monstrous guardian protects the hidden chamber. Defeat the guardian, solve the magic puzzles, and escape before time runs out or be sealed inside forever.
