Celebrate Christmas with a Fantastic Feasts Event in “Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells”

The festive season is upon us, and it has also made its way into Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells with a new, limited-time Fantastic Feasts event, a twist on the name of the film series Fantastic Beasts.

Starting this week, the mobile match-3 game, which features the soundtrack and voice recordings from the original Harry Potter films and follows Harry’s journey through the chapters of the Harry Potter books, will give players the chance to“collect recipe ingredients on their puzzle game boards to complete iconic wizarding world[-]themed dishes while earning special in-game rewards.”

From ‘first day of school’ banquets to the Weasley twins’ bewitched sweets, the wizarding world has always shown appreciation for the culinary arts. Ending the year on an appetizing note, the Fantastic Feasts event in Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells will invite players to the beloved pub [the] Three Broomsticks to participate in this season’s festive food fun. Hosted by Madam Rosmerta, players will collect items ranging from cabbages and carrots to flour and cinnamon, gathering the required quantities and ingredients to complete recipes to create sumptuous dishes including Cornish Pasties and Christmas Cake. As these delicious dishes are completed, players will be treated to exclusive rewards like power-ups, trophies and unlimited lives.

The game will also feature a range of holiday-themed activities, including players gathering snowflakes or presents that drop onto their game boards, and the Holiday Season Pass gives players the opportunity to complete activities for “even bigger rewards.”

 

 

Executive Vice President, Games at Zynga, Yaron Leyvand, spoke about the inspiration behind the event.

As we head into the winter holidays, we wanted to honour the traditions of the wizarding world and invite players to a seat at the banquet table with a festive event that truly celebrates the season. We’re thrilled to bring the flavour and magic of the holidays to fans with the Fantastic Feasts event.

Puzzles & Spells is no stranger to celebrating popular events with its players. This is the second Christmas-themed event that is taking place since the game launched in 2020; last year’s festive features included holiday decor, wintry weather, players collecting Christmas-themed cards, and falling snowflakes on the game board, which were collected for rewards. The game also launched the Amortentia Adoration love potion event for Valentine’s Day and an Easter egg hunt over the Easter season.

Will you be taking part in the delicious festivities in Puzzles & Spells this Christmas?
