Happy Anniversary to “Puzzles & Spells” Game

Have you been playing Zynga’s Magical Match-3 Mobile Game Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells? The game is celebrating its one-year anniversary with a week of surprises, gifts, sweepstakes, new content, and special in-game events for players in honour of this milestone occasion. There is also a new trailer featuring game highlights and spotlighting players’ journies in the game over its first year.

With over 2,000 levels created so far in the main player journey, the game has a lot to offer fans who enjoy solving wizarding world puzzles. The creators have plans for more interesting and magical content, guided by the playfulness at the heart of the wizarding world. Getting to know the players through its first year has been exciting and inspiring for the creative team behind the game.

“We’re incredibly proud of the accolades and reception that Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells has received, but we’re even more inspired and humbled by the players who have joined us on this journey,” said Yaron Leyvand, Executive Vice President, Games at Zynga. “We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with the fans, and look forward to opening the game’s next chapter, together.”

What can players expect during the anniversary week celebrations?

Inspired by Dudley Dursley’s most memorable birthday, a new ‘London Zoo’-themed event in the game will invite players to collect ‘presents’ on their gameboard to earn reward chests. Bringing a serpentine twist to this birthday-inspired event, players can make matches next to mysterious boxes on their gameboard to release the python inside. Starting September 23rd, players can join in a treasured Hogwarts tradition with the in-game House Pride Event, completing puzzles to earn points for their house with results tracked in a global leaderboard. From September 22th through September 24th, players who log in to the game will be treated to a daily in-game anniversary gift to further celebrate the occasion.

Throughout the anniversary week, visitors to the Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells Twitter, Facebook and Instagram channels will be invited to post their favourite memory from the game tagged #PuzzlesAndSpellsAnniversary. Three players will be chosen at random to win an anniversary prize package, packed with in-game currency, items, power-up bundles and more.
