The Wizards vs Aliens app, created by Magic Ruby, also offers a unique educational experience, engaging kids in factual science-based content. Kids have an opportunity to further explore the science inspired geology and geography featured in the spellbinding adventures from the Wizards vs Aliens TV show.

Wizards vs Aliens follows the adventures of two 16-year-old schoolboys, Tom and Benny, who battle to save Earth from the alien race Nekross. While Tom lives a seemingly ordinary life with his dad and grandmother, he hides a deep secret: his family members are wizards.  When the Nekross arrive to attempt to steal all the magic from Earth, they haven’t expected resistance from Tom and his friend, science super-brain Benny. Together they form an extraordinary alliance using Tom’s magic and Benny’s science to battle the Nekross and save Earth.

The Wizards vs Aliens app is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.AppStore.com/WizardsvsAliens.
