Need Tri-Wizard Tournament game ideas!

[Hollywood Heidi]

Hey everyone!  I could totally use some help coming up with Tri-Wizard Tournament game ideas.


As a reminder, we decided to have TWO Champions competing for each school as a team as a way of having someone to interact with for the chosen Champions.  We passed this off as the Ministry making this the new rule due to the amount of fatalities.  They feel it may be safer this way (though seriously, with the crazy ass dangerous games, I see it as doubling the chance of the amount of fatalities). XD


There are three of what are referred to as Tasks.  Those are the ones everyone from all the schools gather to watch.  But each of those three Tasks has mini games/clues that involve only the Champions and perhaps the assistance of a fellow student or two that lead the Champions to arrive at each of the Tasks.


Share any ideas you have here in this thread!

I thumbed through the scenarios for the Harry Potter Miniatures Game for ideas. There is a scenario that takes place in the Forbidden Forest were each side has to contend with the monsters of the forest. Maybe a task in which they have to recover something/clue from deep within the forest?

[Hollywood Heidi]

Sounds like a great idea! They were always told to stay out of the Forbidden Forest so it sounds extra suspenseful for one of the Tasks to take place there!

What is that HP Miniatures Game you referred to? I actually did try searching for awhile online months ago to find game ideas but was surprised not to really find anything.

I have some of the models (first wave of releases) but I have not gotten around to painting any of them yet. I only played one game with a friend of mine and we only half understood the rules at the time.

I'm really liking the idea of one round taking place at the Forbidden Forest! Such a cool location to RP at I think!

There is also a mission in which both sides have to chase a dementor off the other side's edge of the board (think of it as playing Pong using a dementor). Maybe a dementor herding task? (Although the ministry might not be down for that.)

[DarkSideCookie]

Oh, maybe the ministry actually isn't down for something like that, but it could become something like the unofficial task of our baddie Ash? I don't really remember your whole plan, Ariel, but didn't you mention Ash would try to manipulate the game in some way?

[Hollywood Heidi]

Lol, I don't see how the Ministry would be down for ANY of the stuff we saw happen during the Tournament! XD

But in the movies and books, didn't they decide to stop using the Dementors at Azkaban? Not that that matters much but I believe it was cuz they'd gone rogue or were being controlled by or some joined the side of the baddies.

Anywho, I could picture them using the Dementors for one of the games.  It's important to know how to fight all things that could turn against you.

Oooh yes! Ash is trying to steal Ellie and Morgana away so that they can fulfill the twin prophecy. Still working out the details of the prophecy, but I think that the girls powers could awaken something very dark and powerful over their world as well as the muggle world. I like the dementor task, maybe Ash manipulates the task somehow where the dementor they are herding would multiply and surround Morgana,disorienting her enough to allow Ash to whisk her away? After the fact, he could leave Ellie bread crumb trails that would leave her no choice but to go after her sister maybe? I think Ash would still keep Morgana as hostage in Hogwarts so that Ellie doesn't have to abandon the school entirely, perhaps in the secret tunnels underground? They could have closed them off after Dumbledore's Army used them pre-battle of Hogwarts.

Yay, I also like the idea to confront the Champions with a dementor. 

My new teacher, Nathaniel, would try to watch the Tournament in hopes that he would learn something new to gain more knowledge and powers or just to see how the students deal with problems.

If some of the participants would get into trouble when confronted with the dementor, he could help them incognito. As an former Auror he should know how to defeat them.
(just saying: 'Expecto Patronus' ^^ )

I love those ideas, Ariel!

And Coco will like to have a protective (good-looking) man around, even though he's a teacher. XD

*** ANOTHER IDEA ***
(still just a brainstorm)


What about a 'Potion-class-Rrace' in the style of an Escape-room?

They had to start in a laboratory with many ingredients for various potions.
Then they had to find a good way (meant a useful potion) to solve some tasks to get to the finish.
And, of course, they got demerits when they use their wands for spells.

Oooh, an escape room type situation would be fun! Thanks for bringing this back to life, by the way. We need to work this stuff out.

So I've only had the opportunity to go to one escape room in my life so my knowledge of them is limited. I do know that once we figured out some clues, we got a secret passage to open that led us to another room. So technically, this could be a way to throw together a couple different schools at once to see them not only compete against the other two, but test them on their ability to work with a competitor who is currently on your team.

Maybe each room will test a different aspect of magical capabilities. One for potions, one for divination, one for levitation. you get the idea. Maybe this could be their final big game that puts them up against all abilities and maybe each room even magically switches out the schools that will be teaming up with each new room. Kinda get you to work with and against in alternating sequences and gives everyone the opportunity for their characters to all interact with each other at some point.

[Anduin]

To be honest, I never had been in an Escape Room, too. ^^


I like your idea that every new room would be created for another subject.
Sounds good. 

And yes, we should start to finally create the tasks for the Tournament so that we will be ready when we need them.
