It's almost time for the final exam and there was no way you were going to pass this year without the help of Potion of Unlimited Knowledge. Your only hope is to retrieve the potion from the Magic Market but it won't be an easy task. Are you ready for the quest?

As instructed by a mysterious letter we received in an email, we arrived in the back alley of the Magic Market. We're greeted by a mysterious woman wearing a cloak. She's to going to hopefully help us retrieve the Potion of Unlimited Knowledge. It felt as if we've just entered Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. There was a wand store, potion store, owl post, dessert shop and more! We were very impressed by the quality of the handmade props. It felt like we're on a movie set.
The game was paired with an online inventory portal called Telescape. We're able to hear a owl hooting sound whenever something was added to the portal. It played nicely with the theme and felt quite magical at times.

The utilization of spells, potion making, and hidden compartments in the Magic Market was seamlessly paired with the various puzzles in the game. It felt like someone casted the spell of "Apparition" on us and that's how we arrived into this mythical world.
The puzzles had various levels of difficulty. It was great to have some automation from the game master as some directions would've been repetitive and difficult to instruction over Zoom. We enjoyed her character's intuitiveness. It was just the right amount of guidance.

I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. This room definitely gave me the urge to want to go back to watch the entire series again. One of my favorite part about this room was the way we're able to use our "wands" to create magic spells over Zoom as a group that gathered from all over the world. It was definitely an enchanting moment to be able to use our energies together to make something magical happen. I'm happy to report that we retrieved the Potion of Unlimited Knowledge with 20 minutes and 50 seconds left and of course we aced that test!
