KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- Zynga Inc, a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced its magical Match-3 mobile game, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, has launched the first-ever Club Challenge in-game event.

Available now to players worldwide, this first recurring limited-time event series dares player Clubs to enter the Forbidden Forest to navigate, explore and overcome a new interactive map brimming with hidden obstacles, special encounters and rewards.

“The Club Challenge event introduces a blend of excitement, mystery and friendship that is core to the Harry Potter series and allows players to connect and collaborate with Clubmates in more meaningful ways.” said Executive Vice President, Games at Zynga, Yaron Leyvand.

Unlocking at player level 55, Club Challenge introduces a new, separate interactive path to the game’s solo journey, offering exclusive and independent points, rewards and ‘lives’ system in each of its events, according to a statement.

Spanning up to three weeks at a time, each Club Challenge event will transport players to a unique, interactive map location, marked with puzzles to tackle to continue their progress.

For the inaugural Club Challenge event, players will leave the safety of Hogwarts and enter the mysterious, and often dangerous, Forbidden Forest.

In the final showdown, players must team up to defeat some of the most ferocious creatures found in the forest, including the Mountain Troll and Hungarian Horntail, or Ron’s most loathsome foe, Aragog.

In Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, players enter a Match-3 adventure brimming with the spells, humour, colour and characters of the Harry Potter series. It is playable for iOS and Android devices worldwide, as well as on Amazon Kindle and Facebook.
