House of Magic is an educational 3-D based magic game for the PC that is designed to challenge the player mentally in many different ways including; perception, memory and mathematics along with helping the user to think abstractly and logically.


 * __Story: House of Magic__**

A magician, named Zackary the great, has come to our planet to trick, challenge, and educate children aged four to ten. He has brought his crystal ball, and bag of tricks. You can find him in a desert barren wasteland. He has with him four different mini-games that contain three different levels that increase in difficulty. If you are wrong in any given time (besides card swap) in the game you will have to start over. This magician wants to show young learners and audiences of the magic community.

The first Game is a challenge of perception and memory called Dome Shuffle. The game starts out with three domes on the table and there is one ball under one of the domes. Zackary will show you which dome the ball is under for a good amount of time and then the domes will start randomly shuffling around the table for about five seconds. When they are done shuffling you must pick out where the ball is. If you guess correctly Zachary will celebrate!

The second game is called Math Madness. This game challenges the user’s math skills and mental abilities. Zackary will show the user a math equation and you must do the math in your head. You will be given three choices. If you choose the right answer Zackary will celebrate!

For the third game Zackary will read you mind! He will show a number of cards depending on the difficulty. You will think of one of the cards in your head. After you selected your card mentally he will magically make your card disappear by showing the remaining deck without your card.

The fourth and final game is called Card Swap, which is another game of memorization. Zackary will show you a set of face down cards. You will have to match two cards together. If you choose the wrong pair three times you have to start over. As you match a pair they will go to a separate pile. When all the cards are matched you win!

Zackary hopes that you will join him in his tricks and games. He hopes that you have fun as you are being tricked and educated.
