The Academy has always attracted the most curious of minds, so it comes as no surprise that you’re here now. Feel free to come in and take a look around! Explore every corner of the marvelous Academy. Quite magnificent, isn’t it? Don’t worry, you’ll be able to walk these halls and soak in the school in all its splendor. Although the Academy is famous for its more colorful sights, there are darker corners to be found as well. Solve over 200 puzzles and riddles. Only the best and the brightest attend the Academy, and our puzzles will prove if you’re among them. Easy to play, but challenging to master, they are the ultimate test for our students. Unravel the mystery looming over the school and uncover its secrets. A place with such a rich history is also rich with stories. The ones told about this semester, however, will be far greater than all those before. You will soon find that the school also has its fair share of secrets. But, remember, the light will reveal all that lurks in the shadows. Meet memorable characters and make friends (as well as a few foes here and there). The Academy is undoubtedly a special place. But what makes it unique are its students and staff. Only those capable of extraordinary things spend their time on school grounds, so you will always be in the best of company. Take a breather from all the puzzles by exploring the school’s rich lore. They are right when they say that a puzzle waits…
