XCELWIZARD

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

What actually is XCELWIZARD?

A single-player Windows game set in a magical academy. Wizzy Rangewood (Grand Mage of the Sanctum) and Ser Calculot (Knight Commander of Cellshire) teach you Excel through a real story, not a worksheet wearing a costume.

How do I get the demo?

Click 'Download the demo' on the home page, sign in with your Google account, and the link appears. Free, no payment required.

Why do I have to sign in?

Sign-in keeps the demo safe to distribute, lets us notify you about updates, and helps us understand who's playing so we can build the right things next.

What's the 'Dual View'?

Wizzy's chamber and a real Excel grid run in parallel. Cast a spell in the Fantasy view, toggle the Lens of Truth, see your spell as a formula. Toggle back. Keep playing. It's our signature mechanic and the reason what you learn actually sticks.

What platforms?

Windows 10/11 (64-bit) at launch, macOS and Linux depend on demand, sign in and we'll know to build for you.

What level of Excel is this for?

Designed to take you from total beginner through intermediate-to-advanced. Module I teaches the grid's language. Module II throws you into a timed validation challenge. The full academy goes deeper, lookups, pivots, Power Query.

How big is the download?

Roughly 500 MB to 2 GB. The exact size is shown on the download section before you click.

How do I get updates?

Come back to xcelwizard.com and re-download. The download section shows version + last-updated date so you can tell if you're behind.

Is the demo free? What about the full game?

The demo is free forever, no card required. The full game is a one-time purchase of $11.99 USD when it launches: buy once, own it, including all future content updates inside the game. No subscription, ever.

Do I need Excel installed to play?

No. XCELWIZARD is self-contained. Formulas, sheets, and validation rules all happen inside the academy. The skills transfer directly to real Excel.

Where are the cheat-sheets and references?

Inside the game. Bundled, versioned with the build, and updated when the academy is.

Who makes this?

XCELWIZARD is a brand of Bigtoria Informatika Limited.
