Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them isn’t the only exciting new slice of the wizarding world to debut today. 

Fans will get a chance become magical-creature investigators in the new mobile game Fantastic Beasts: Cases From the Wizarding World. The hidden-object game lets players search for hidden clues, interview witnesses, brew potions, analyze evidence, and cast popular spells to track down mischievous magical critters.

While the Fantastic Beasts film is set in 1920s New York City, the game is set in the U.K. and will revisit some favorite locations from the Harry Potter universe including the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley. Players will start as new recruits in the Ministry of Magic Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Beast Division. Successful sleuthing and protection of magical creatures will let players level up, all the way to top Magizoologist.
