Game Guide

Pick up Wizards of Waverly Place if you’re a fan of the TV show – the game lets you play as your favorite wizard-in-training Alex Russo (played on TV by Selena Gomez) as you cast magical spells and participate in mini-games to complete tasks and acquire new magic skills.

Also in the game are Alex’s brothers, Justin and Max, who are constantly helping Alex stay outta trouble. Alex always creates mischievous fun wherever she goes and casting magic is a great way to experience her adventures. You’ll also love customizing Alex’s wardrobe by unlocking accessories and outfits true to her style.

The game lets you experience the lives of the Russo kids as they explore locations from the show including the Waverly Sub Station, the Wizards Lair, Tribeca Prep, the Russo loft and many more.

Don’t worry if you’ve watched every episode on television and think this game is just going to have you repeat the same adventures featured on the show. Wizards of Waverly Place is packed with adventures that allow you to explore brand-new storylines that go way beyond the TV series.
