Scooby-Doo™ and the Spooky Castle Adventure

Gameplay was mostly linear and not particularly hard. The puzzles were are almost all intuitive and the one part with a leap, the GM let us struggle for a few minutes before offering a hint, which was appreciated.

The set design was very cute and properly themed.

Kayla our GM was great. She gave us the perfect number of hints and only when we were truly stuck.

There are a few types of puzzles we hadn’t encountered in an escape room. They were more like logic games. Generation 1.5 room with very few lock and key puzzles.

This is a Scooby Doo mystery. You already know who did it. We had a good time anyway.

This is perfect room to introduce your young kids to escape rooms. There are fun effects, nothing is scary, and the puzzles mostly involving porting information from one room to another.

Any more than 4 would be a crowd. Two adults and a teen were able to move well enough.

This is no more scary than the cartoon.

One of the doors between rooms was broken. The GM let us know when we walked in and let us know when it would have triggered.

It’s a tight fit for a wheelchair. Lighting is low in some places but you get a flashlight and you can always use your phone light in a pinch.

Follow the GPS

A mix of stupidly easy puzzles and a few time stallers that were frustratingly misleading - so bad, in fact, that there were step by step directions hanging on the wall (which just made it worse)

Sure. Cute for a corporate mass-produced room with purchased IP.

Almost entirely ignored. No host was there when we escaped, we just walked out the door with no wrap up.

Meh. Was fun for about 2 minutes when we first entered but totally fell apart after.

One of the puzzles had torn pieces

A little mechanical

The concept of the game was fun and game flow could have gone well if there weren’t so many malfunctions. We got stuck at many points because of malfunctions, including a malfunctioning hint board and inattentive game master.

Fun and immersive Scooby Doo surroundings. Very small rooms though.

Respectfully, the GM was terrible. They were entirely unhelpful. Many things malfunctioned in the room and we weren’t given any help. One of the things that malfunctioned in the room was the hint screen so we couldn’t even see our hints.

Interesting and different concept with really poor execution.

The story was fun for Scooby Doo fans.

Would not have been hard if there weren’t so many malfunctions.

Supposed to be high tech but the technology was really bad and almost never worked.

The game play could be completed with more than 4 players but the rooms were really cramped.

If this room worked the way that it should have then it would be a great introduction for younger escape room players.

SO MANY THINGS! We lost a lot of valuable time in the room because so many pieces malfunctioned and the game master didn’t help us.

No stairs or crawling required.

It was not physically intense but rooms were cramped. Most challenges could be bypassed by team collaboration and communication.

Stood out on the shopping strip.

Plenty of parking nearby.

Cute gameplay, pretty linear. Flow was good.

Cartoony in a good way.

Riley was attentive and upbeat.

Good but if mag locks and video interactions, not much in effects.

The theme was a good concept but the game itself was disjointed and props malfunctioned up to and including their clue delivery system. The GM was not attentive giving us hints on already solved puzzles or items already found. The game itself had several logic leaps and no sign posting. Things like why would I use this prop on that item. They are not a natural pair and nothing to indicate you should use them together.
