Have you and your family lost count of how many times you've watched the Harry Potter series? Now, you can test your Wizarding World knowledge by solving puzzles to get out of this digital Hogwarts escape room.

Sydney Krawiec, a youth services librarian at Peters Township Public Library in McMurray, Pennsylvania, created a virtual Harry Potter-themed escape room. The game begins by setting the scenario: It's your first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After being sorted into your house and eating dinner with your classmates, you head to your house common room. Before you settle into your room with your roommates, you prefect announces you have a team building exercise. Suddenly, the room goes dark and the door slams, and your muggle-born roommate figures out it's an escape room. You all check your robes, and discover no one has their wands.

Once the Hogwarts escape room parameters are set, you'll have to answer a series of questions, which are accompanied by relevant photos, correctly to finish the game. You can do the escape room as a team with your family and friends. Or if you're looking for some competition, you can challenge them to see who's the most brilliant wizard.
