Zynga has officially started rolling out Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells in countries around the world. The match-3 game will be available for free on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle, and Facebook.
Puzzles & Spells is an authentic Harry Potter experience, using the same soundtrack – and even some voiceovers – from the original films. You'll be able to relive the entire Hogwarts experience, tracing Harry Potter's steps from an unassuming Muggle to savior of the Wizarding World.
"When the Harry Potter series first came to theatres, it was one of those rare moments when everyone was reading the same book, talking about the same film and coming together around a shared experience," said Yaron Leyvand, Senior VP of Games at Zynga. "Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells honours fans' connection to the series with a mobile game infused with the standout moments and delightful Wizarding World flourishes that have captivated a global following."
Along the way you'll earn spells, powerups, and experience points to improve your abilities and help you clear Puzzles & Spells' more challenging levels. Each puzzle contains iconic items from the series including, hopping Chocolate Frogs, Winged Keys, wizard chess pieces, and plenty of other obstacles. You'll also have the usual assortment of Daily Events and unlockables, giving you a reason to keep coming back each and every day.
One of the more interesting features of Zynga's latest title is the inclusion of Clubs, allowing players to challenge others and battle to become the best witch or wizard in Hogwarts. You'll have plenty of control over your in-game avatar as well, with several customization options include hair style, facial features, clothing, and accessories.
Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells looks to be a solid addition to the mobile match-3 marketplace. Zynga has a history of crafting incredible casual gaming experiences, and there's no reason to think this won't be yet another classic. Potterheads in particular will enjoy all the references to the iconic franchise and, with an authentic soundtrack and voiceovers, it's sure to be a trip down memory lane.
Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells is now available for free on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle, and Facebook.
