Master of Magic

You are a graduate student at the Slaughter School of Wicked Wizardry on the glorious campus of UPC (University of Perpetual Construction). Your challenge: survive all five periods without reducing Point Grey to a smoking crater. Your virtual classroom is a scrying bowl, and you will face law demons, mind-altering potions, thunderbirds, and Elon Husk (not a spelling error). Welcome to Master of Magic. 

This choose-your-own-adventure game was inspired by the inside jokes that helped knit our cohort together across multiple continents and half a dozen time zones at the height of the pandemic. Sources of humor include Zoom glitches, Vancouver housing, caffeine (and beer) dependencies, notorious professors, a certain fashion choice, and a shared sense of post-exam stress disorder. Through satire and self-deprecating humor, Master of Magic attempts to memorialize the experiences of the Sauder Master of Management Class of 2021.
