Pop Culture References of Wizard101: Karamelle

It all begins with an invitation, your Wizard is asked to represent the Arcanum at a Grand Summit to repair their Schism with the Cabal. But is it a trap?

Of course not! Indeed, the Summit is hosted on the sweetest world of them all: Karamelle, home of Nana’s Olde Fashioned Karamelle Delights, the Spiral’s foremost provider of sweets and savories. This is a world of happy Gnomes and Fairies, smiling Hamsters, industrious Nibbelung Moles, and the ever-charming Gobblers.

Bad things do not happen on Karamelle. There are no traps, no Gummy Bears going sour, no mysteries or betrayals. And there are certainly no Witches cursing people with their words. No, no, no, nothing ever goes wrong on Karamelle.

Karamelle is a world of smiles, of Gumdrop Forests and Licorice Trees, of Chocolate Mines and Soda Lakes. Happy villages stretch from Karamelle City to Gutenstadt and everyone, everywhere, is always singing and whistling while they work.

So come to Karamelle. There is nothing to fear. (from the Wizard101 website)

Karamelle was added to the game in November of 2020. It is intended for for wizards levels 130-140

  1. The three witches are called the Weird Sisters as an homage to Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Hans and Franz Ice Cream in Sweetzburg are the two characters from a Saturday Night Live sketch as played by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon. The Artful Dodgers candy in Les Bon Bon Mots is an homage to the gang leader in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, and a bon mot is a witty remark, while a bon bon is a confection.
