The Marauders were pranksters while they were at Hogwarts, so it makes sense that an event that focuses on these four mischievous students would occur over April Fools Day.

**Debuted**: 31 March - 1 April 2020
This event was ajusted from its original design due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the need for players world-wide to practice social distancing and/or to only play from within their home. We can only imagine what kinds of craziness the Developers originally had in mind for this event.

Please remember to abide by local rules and regulations, to be respectful of your surroundings, and of the needs of others during this crisis.

## Changes to the Game

This Special Event sees the introduction of a new type of Special Assignment that is frequently seen in PokémonGo... A task that requires casting Great Spell Casts **in a row**.

If you cast a spell in a Great manner four times in a row, but then cast a spell in a Fine or Good manner, your progression for this task will reset and you will need to start again.

## Store Items

### **Free Pack**

**Is it worth it?... YES**

It's free; so yes. Free stuff is always good. Save collecting this item until you're tackling a Fortress Challenge where having a sudden boast in Spell Energy will come in use.

### **Premium Prankster Pack**

**Is it worth it?... MAYBE?**

It depends on your personal circumstances.

This is a pack for people tackling high Chambers in Fortress Challenges, where the Spell Energy Boost and the Potent Exstimulo Potions will come in handy.

It's also a pack for people that expect to see a lot of Severe and Emergency Threat Level Foundables in a place that doesn't have a lot of Inns. So if you're observing Social Distancing and are burning Tonic for Trace Detection Potions and need a sudden Boost of Spell Energy and want to burn potions on having the best chance possible to return those Severe and Emergency Foundables, then this might be worth it for you.

## Special Assignments

### **Page 1**

Yes, that's not a typo; one of the completion rewards is 1 Wizarding XP. Marauder Pranks weren't always fun for people on the receiving end.
