The Charmstone Academy's headmistress, Bellatrix Alatar, has called an emergency meeting in the Grand Dining Hall. All members of the faculty and student body of the academy are required to attend. You are unsure of what has happened but have heard rumors that someone might have cast one of the Dark Craft spells, which is strictly forbidden within the corridors of the castle. Bellatrix has banned all magic until after the meeting, so you are unable to use your wand. You are frustrated, as you must now accomplish tasks the hard way like the Ordins (non-magical humans). You cannot wait to get this meeting over with so everything can return to normal.
You are getting your best dress robes ready for the meeting, as it is best if you make a good impression on Headmistress Alatar, as she is the most powerful witch this planet has ever seen. This is where your story begins.
I prefer face-to-face MMs but this worked really well too, a fun evening with friends! Use a platform where you can share video sound.
We were looking for a fun virtual social to break up a pretty intensive leadership retreat weekend, and managed to come across this game just in time! Everyone got really into character and I would say the challenge level and banter were appropriate to keep us right on time for the allotted 2 hour time period. Definitely recommend - very straightforward to host and organize!
I think this was my family's favorite one that we have played with this company. They completely overdid it in a good way. They put a lot of detail into the story. The game was excellent and flowed nicely.
