About the game
What you do in a play session
Get your kettle ready and adjust your cauldron, because the Teaquinox Faire is heating up! In Tea Witches, you step into the shoes of a magical infusion master aiming to be crowned the greatest tea witch in the land. The game unfolds over four intense days, each representing a new challenge to boost your prestige. The fun kicks off during the Summoning phase: you'll need to draw a crowd of witches to your hut, but watch out! If you push your luck too far and draw identical witches, a hex will be cast, and your queue will vanish in a puff of smoke. If you manage the risk well, the Service phase is where the real magic happens. This is where you'll deploy your adorable TeaPups to explore the city, gather tasty toppings, and collect tea from the rotating crystal fountain. These little helpers are vital for upgrading your hut, attracting celebrity guests, and brewing Special-Teas with unique bonus abilities. You can also focus on fulfilling to-go orders to earn extra cash. The goal is straightforward but tricky: accumulate the most prestige by building a loyal fan base, upgrading your hut, and providing top-tier service. Whoever has the most prestigious tea business by the end of the fourth day wins it all!
