Fantasino is where magic games come out to play. Six free games are on tonight's programme, and every one of them opens in your browser in a second: no downloads, no sign-up, nothing to install. Pick a game, play for a while, and come back tomorrow, when there is a new game on the main stage and a new riddle from the cat.
Rune Memory hides eight pairs of runes under sixteen cards and times how fast you find them all. Potion Lab is a fizzy match-three: line up glowing ingredients before the cauldron cools. Spell Words gives you six guesses at the day's magic word. Constellations has you join the stars back into pictures, Enchanted Mirror is a sliding puzzle with a cracked mirror to mend, and in Crystal Ball Riddles the cat asks its question of the day.
The games at Fantasino are quick to learn and hard to put down, and most of them take only a few minutes. Beat your own best time in Rune Memory and the Hall of Fame will remember it.
Between games, the palace library has illustrated legends to read, from Mira the apprentice to Pan Twardowski on the Moon, and every one of them ends with a game to play.
Pull up a chair. The show starts whenever you do.
