Players are guided through the game, which is a set of four challenges, by video scenes featuring Michael Scott.

The first task, the Alchemyst's challenge, required players to assemble a moving jigsaw of the series' logo against a countdown clock.

Players then advanced to meet The Elder, who asked them a set of knowledge questions about the books and were given a 'coloured aura ranking' calculated from their scores and time taken to complete the tasks.

There has been tremendous interest in the series and eventually, it went to Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who is the man responsible for bringing Harry Potter to Warner when he was there.
