The academy has been watching, and tonight it sends for them by name.
A school of magic assembles itself in your home for one night: a welcome letter that calls the child (or children) by name, teams with their own colors and values, lessons in light and levitation, a potion bench that actually does something, and a final academy challenge the whole class faces together before lights-out.
At the moment you choose, the academy calls for the potion.
At the signature moment the class opens the sealed Mystery Envelope and reads the mission card naming the potion the academy needs tonight. They hunt the hidden ingredients through the house and work out the order, and at the moment they get the sequence right the mixture changes colour, scent or shimmer in front of them.
Every wizard has a story, and this night is the chapter where theirs begins. The emotional core is not the props — it is being chosen, and then being trusted with something that matters.
Inside the experience
What the night includes
A themed welcome moment— Students are met at the door with a printable academy welcome letter, a passport bearing their name, and a printable name tag — plus a fold-and-tuck house folder they assemble to keep everything the night gives them.
The lessons and challenges— Spell challenges — Lumen for light, Levitas for lift, Aurora for color — plus enchanted lessons, secret messages and a potion class, with the host guide marking where to simplify for younger guests and where to add challenge for older ones.
Food and drink ideas— A long candlelit banquet table, color-changing academy punch, cauldron-style sharing bowls and a bedtime cocoa served by lantern light — with swaps listed for picky eaters and every common allergy.
Experience Cards— Spell challenge cards and lesson cards handed out at the right moments, so the curriculum unfolds through the evening rather than arriving all at once.
Everything here arrives as print-ready PDFs with fill-in fields on the pages that need them, so you can add names, dates and details yourself before printing at home. Nothing is posted. It is written for a group of up to 16 guests, and the print-prep table walks you through which pages to print and how many copies.
Choose your ending
One kit. Two ways to end the night.
3 to 4 hours, no overnight
Party Path
Run the full Core Experience, follow the closing sequence, and have everyone ready for pickup. A complete themed party that ends at a sensible hour and leaves your house intact.
Core Experience plus overnight and morning
Sleepover Path
Everything in the Party Path, then keep going. Pajamas, movie and lounge time, snacks, bedtime, a slow morning, breakfast and pickup, all planned the same way the evening was.

How it fits
Guided, Classic or Independent
Same night, three levels of host support. You pick the one that fits the group in front of you, and you can switch between them at any point in the evening.
More support
Guided
You explain more, demonstrate more, check in more often, and stay hands-on throughout. Good for a younger group, a first sleepover, or guests who don't know each other yet.
Balanced support
Classic
You introduce what guests need to know, help where it's useful, then give them room to take part on their own. Start here if you're not sure.
More guest independence
Independent
You set the expectations, the hygiene and the safety boundaries clearly, then let guests run more of the night themselves while you stay available.
Different guests can need different levels on the same night, and you never announce which one you're using. Guests just experience the night.

Before the night
What you will need
A printer, regular paper, scissors, and a short shopping list of inexpensive supplies. The host guide gives you quantities and a cheaper substitution for every item. Cardstock is worth it for the photo booth props and the cut-out cards if you have it, but plain paper works for everything. The games themselves need nothing but what is already in your house.

Questions about Wizarding Academy
They are designed for a kitchen table with a cloth on it. Everything is built from ordinary food-safe cupboard items — the color changes, fizzes and shimmer all come from things you can pick up with the weekly shop — and each activity is marked as look-and-smell rather than drink. We tell you what to lay down, what to do it over, and how long the cleanup honestly takes.
Nothing is required. The academy supplies the identity in print: the letter, the passport, the name tag and the badge, all printed at home, so children arrive already belonging. If you want a dressing-up element, the guide includes simple make-at-home ideas so no guest turns up feeling underdressed or out of pocket.
That is a very common mix, and it is written for. The sceptics get the puzzles, ciphers and the surprising-but-explainable science of the potion bench; the believers get the story, the letters and the wonder. Both groups end up on the same team for the final challenge, which is usually where the eye-rolling quietly stops.
Yes, and that's how it's written by default. Battery lanterns and flameless candles carry the whole candlelit look, and the lighting guidance is built around them. If you do want real flame somewhere, the guide marks the one place it works, supervised and well away from the children's working space.
The academy has its own teams, each with a color, an emblem and one of its four values: curiosity, courage, kindness and magic. The team cards are blank so you place the children yourself, and the host guide walks you through it: who to separate, who needs a role of their own, and how to hand the teams out so it never looks random.
Questions about the kit
As much or as little as you want. There is a lot in this kit and you are not expected to print all of it. The print-prep table walks through every page, what it is for, and how many copies you would want, so you can pick the pieces that fit your night and skip the rest. Print the essentials this year and come back for the extras next time.
No. Everything works on a regular home printer and regular paper. A few pieces hold up better on cardstock, especially the photo booth props and the cut-out cards, because kids wave those around all night. That is a nice-to-have, not a requirement.
That is exactly who it is written for. The host guide walks the night in order, gives a duration for each part, and gives you the words to say. You are never asked to make something up on the spot.
Ages 8 through tween, in one kit. This age range is where the activities actually land: old enough to run parts of the night themselves, young enough to still love the whole thing. The host guide shows you where to add more support or more independence depending on the guest.
Yes. It is yours to print as many times as you want for your own family's parties. Please do not resell it, share the files, or use it to run parties as a business.
Not right now. We paused personalized experiences to focus on getting the kits right. The kit has fill-in fields on the pages that need them, so you can add names and details yourself.
