As the story progresses, players can find exciting nuggets from the franchise. However, things take a turn for the worse when Ivy suddenly goes missing, prompting a quest to uncover the truth behind her disappearance and unusual behaviour when found. The first year at Hogwarts starts off relatively normal, with players getting sorted into their Houses (players can pick their House or let the game do it for them). The game will take players through the Hogwarts curriculum, adding subplots to save their friends and the Wizarding World that most students would not have to face. Other core characters (Ivy, Daniel, Robyn, Kevin, Lottie, Colby, Fischer) are introduced on the way to Hogwarts, and it’s only later in the game that the secrets behind their fresh faces begin to unravel. This will be the format for the most part, with players having a brief explanation on a new card before having to use it in a ‘sink or swim’ situation. Almost immediately, a card duel occurs, and players will find themselves squared up against an enemy, but don’t worry – the game gives instructions to avoid an early demise. Stepping foot into Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions marks the start of their journey, where they get to redesign their avatars, obtain their wands, and choose a winged friend.

Set 10 years after the Second Wizarding War, it sees players taking on the role of a black-haired, bespectacled individual as they get whisked into Diagon Alley to shop for their Hogwarts essentials. The free-to-play, collectible card role-playing game fosters a vibrant community of players from all over the world, giving players the chance to build teams, interact (both in and out of story mode), and face battles together.
