To help you get the most out of this year’s latest must-have AR craze, we’ve given you some tips and tricks to get you ahead of the pack.
As a new recruit of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force, you will work with witches and wizards from across the globe to find and return the Foundables using magic spells, solve the mystery of The Calamity and keep the magic safe from Muggle eyes. Or, for those that speak Parseltongue: a calamity has befallen the wizarding world, causing Foundables-magical artefacts, creatures, people, and even memories-to mysteriously appear in the Muggle world. Made by Niantic, the same company behind the last augmented reality craze that was Pokémon Go, the gameplay is just as exciting: real-life is augmented with items from the Harry Potter universe for players to see through their mobile screen and collect for themselves by visiting the locations as fast as they can. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock (or a Philosopher’s Stone), then you’ll already be aware that the game of the year is undoubtedly the new augmented reality mobile game-Harry Potter: Wizards Unite.
