Fun and Games
We will partake in three different games throughout the semester: Hogwarts Challenge, Quest for the Triwizard Cup, and The Magical World of Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Challenge & The House Cup
This game challenges each house against the others, and we will play it most days. You will be presented with a Hogwarts mystery. To solve it, you must answer a series of questions. Houses will take turns getting first crack at the answers, as will one wizard within the chosen house. Housemates can discuss the answers, but the chosen one must be the person to disclose this information. The house earns a point for each correct answer. Incorrect answers may be attempted by another house, and they can earn points if answered correctly. These points will be added to the bonus points each wizard in the house earns over the semester. The house with the most bonus points will win the House Cup!

Triwizard Tournament
This board game challenges wizards within each house, and we will play it most days. You will take on a character from Hogarts and move along a 40-tile path towards the golden snitch circle in the middle. To move a tile, you must correctly answer a stats question on a card drawn at random. There are facilitators along each path, but beware: there are hazards too! Every time you reach the inner circle you win a prize!
The Magical World of Hogwarts - coming soon!
This game challenges the individual wizard. Using your phone (okay) or a PC (better!), you will explore 13 different places in and around Hogwarts in an immersive, videogame-esk environment. Within each room/place, glowing objects reveal a question behind them. Answer all the questions correctly to receive bonus points and unlock the next room/place. Successfully conquer all 13 rooms/locations and win a special prize! Note: this game must be played on your own - no getting help from your fellow wizards.
