EDINBURGH SCHOOL OF MAGIC 
During this interactive workshop, you will brew your own potion, guided by a Potion Master. However, it is not as easy as starting a fire under your cauldron:  you’ll face puzzles and challenges to test your mettle as a wizard. Vanquish the escape game, gather all the ingredients, and craft exciting potions to graduate from the School of Magic. 
 
Create monstrous 1m long slimes, discover colour-changing and smoking ingredients, and enjoy many other experiments. At the end of the activity, take away your own potion to continue the adventure at home!
