Harry Potter: Wizards Unite
© 2019 Niantic
Imagine Pokémon Go, only with Harry Potter characters. Created by Niantic and WB Games this is another "free" (with IAP) geolocation game. The idea is the same -- you use your iOS or Android smart phone (data plan required) to wander around your neighborhood in search of JK Rowling-inspired characters. In the story, a calamity has happened to the wizarding world, causing Foundables—creatures, people and memories—to appear in the Muggle world. As you explore, you find traces of magic that indicate the location of Foundables. These Traces are found at various real-world locations and trigger 3D encounters in 360-degree AR. If you work with other players, you have more strength, as you participate in Wizarding Challenges (real-time cooperative multiplayer battles against dangerous foes). Players take on professions—Auror, Magizoologist, and Professor; each with special skill sets. Learn more at https://www.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/
