Wizards Unite - that's what Harry Potter Go

Wizards Unite is a mobile Harry Potter game that is strongly reminiscent of Pokémon Go. In this article we give you all the information about Wizards Unite.

This is Wizards Unite

Wizards Unite takes place in the Harry Potter universe. Accordingly, you will find all known figures and creatures in the game.

• As a player in Wizards Unite, your job as a magician and member of the Response Force is to maintain the Statute of Confidentiality. That means you make sure that the "Muggle" do not come into contact with magic.
• In Wizards Unite you have to be in the real world and have the app open at the same time. There a figure moves with you on a map similar to Google Maps at the same time.
• Similar to Pokémon Go, there are many different locations on the map, for example inns where you can get new food or fortresses where you fight against other magical creatures.
• In Wizards Unite, your character takes on a specific profession, such as Auror or Professor. These have different challenges that you can best solve together with other players.

Augmented Reality in Wizards Unite

A special feature of the game is augmented reality, AR for short.

• In order to maintain the aforementioned confidentiality statute and to hide magical things from the Muggles, you will regularly find enchanted objects on the map, such as portals or goblins.
• Now you have to swipe back these objects. This is where augmented reality comes into play. Because the objects to be enchanted are projected into the real world by being placed in the image of your smartphone's camera.
• Even enemies like werewolves or dark wizards that you have to fight will be visible on the real background. All of this makes the game realistic and very interesting.
