Mark as done to rate

Scooby, Shaggy, and the gang need your mystery-solving help…or else! The town of Crystal Cove and surrounding areas are being terrorized by monsters and ghosts, and now the local Baroness Maria Richman has gone missing and it is suspected that the ghost sightings have something to do with it! Tasked with solving the crime, you arrive at the same conclusion as Mystery Incorporated. But when you get to the Spooky Castle, Mystery Inc. gets locked out, at the same time you get locked in! You soon realize that they’re able to help by communicating clues via magic portraits inside the Castle. After discovering a secret dungeon and monster lab in the castle, you come to the conclusion that the person responsible almost certainly works in the castle - but who could it be as there are several suspects??

Consider this an escape room that can serve as a great first ever room. And even better one that can be lead by younger players with ease.

Revealing a safe behind a portrait… not sure if it was supposed to automatically open or not but we were told to gently pull it open so I think I was meant to have opened on its own. Also there is a point where we were supposed to Knock somewhere to advance the game, the mechanism didn’t want to drop the item. Mostly non-issues but if you are shooting to complete the room without a “hint” these malfunctions will possibly make that impossible.

Very fun, kid friendly room. Not difficult but still complex enough to be fun. The staff were very friendly and nice.

Room was very handholdy- the puzzles were all thoroughly explained on how to solve them but still difficult (probably user error). Couple of malfunctions with props/sets, but the GM was fantastic and super sweet. This would be a good room if you’re a fan of Scooby Doo solely for the novelty, but escape room fanatics should probably look elsewhere.

I’m really sorry this experience didn’t measure up to expectations. It sounds like there were a few technical issues and that the pacing felt too guided for your liking — that’s not the balance we want to strike. I’m glad to hear your game master made a positive impression, though; I’ll make sure that feedback gets to them. Please reach out to me directly at (337) 552-4641 or [email protected], so I can learn more about what happened and make things right for your next visit.

Fun theme. A bit difficult. This location really needs to do maintenance on their rooms. Several things were broken. But we loved the theming.

I’m really sorry you ran into maintenance issues during your visit — that’s not the experience we want anyone to have. I’m glad you still enjoyed the theme, but I want to make sure those broken elements are addressed right away. Please reach out to me directly at (337) 552-4641 or [email protected] so I can look into exactly which room you played and make it right.

Great for families and kids, the theme was on point it was really fun. Puzzles were also simple enough that beginners would have a great time. Not my favorite of the rooms here, but we liked it a lot. Gets all hearts because the room was perfectly executed as far as theme and flow and design

That’s wonderful feedback — thank you! I’m so glad the theme, flow, and design all came together the way they were meant to. This room is definitely meant to be an easy, fun adventure for families and newer players, and it sounds like it hit that sweet spot. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts — hope we get to see your crew again soon!

That’s great to hear! Sounds like your GM was really on top of things, which makes all the difference when small glitches pop up. I’m glad it didn’t take away from the fun and that you loved the theme — that room’s atmosphere is one of our favorites too!

The room itself was great. Escapology itself was alright. Most places give a grace period of 5 minutes or so to arrive. They started our timer right at 4 and we unfortunately arrived at 4:04 so our time got cut by a few minutes. It is our fault, but similar to doctor appointments there should always be a grace period.

I’m really sorry about that — I completely understand how frustrating it is to lose time right at the start, especially when you were only a few minutes behind. You’re right — a short grace period is a fair expectation, and we’ll take another look at how we handle that to make sure guests aren’t rushed or penalized unnecessarily. I’m glad you still enjoyed the room itself, and I’d love the chance to make things right. Please reach out to me at (337) 552-4641 or [email protected] — I’d like to personally follow up on this for you.

That’s great to hear! Sounds like you and your group had a blast, even without escaping this time. I’m glad the puzzles and theme kept things fun, and it’s awesome that your GM helped make the experience even better. Can’t wait to have you back to finish it!
