Scooby-Doo and the Spooky Castle Adventure

I really liked the theme of this room, and the puzzles all felt intuitive. I also liked that there was a sense of progress in terms of what we were collecting, and there were some creative puzzles. My only two minor complaints were that a few things didn't work smoothly and needed someone to come in (we were just unlucky), and I felt like the theme could have really lent itself to the story being more a part of the actual progression of the room. There are characters and a whodunit that don't feel as integrated as they could have been. But the Scooby Doo theme lent to an awesome atmosphere

Took 2 kids, a husband, and a father in law (for his first room), we had a great time. The theme was of course fantastic but it was still a challenging room.

Jinkies! What a fun room! Filled with authentic cartoonish set pieces and the real voice actors, the Scooby Doo room is a must-go for fans (like me!) and it’s also an excellent choice for first-timers and families. Despite the name, it’s not spooky, and everything is designed more around the aesthetic of the classic cartoon. Although the puzzles are actually surprisingly on the trickier side, which I consider a good thing, there are full text tutorials on how to approach each puzzle. It kinda trivializes the puzzles for enthusiasts, but for beginners, it’s very helpful! Some puzzles were finicky and didn’t seem to work despite us having the right answer, which is my only major complaint. But zoinks, I had a lot of fun and was grinning the whole time, finding secrets and getting my fill of Scooby Snacks! Our group of 2 managed to solve the mystery with time to spare! And they would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for us meddling escape roomers!

My first Scooby Doo themed room! It was really fun and cute! We were a bit “worried” it might be “too easy,” but nope, it still had moments where we felt genuinely challenged! (Ruh roh!) Molly and Jordan were awesome staff/game masters, and it’s cool you get a commemorative rubber bracelet with every room you complete! We’ll be back for more!

Overall it was a fun game. If you are a fan of scooby-doo then you have to play this game. The game was pretty linear, so big groups might find themselves with people standing around. Despite this being a game based on a cartoon I would say that it is not for young children. The game play will be too difficult for them to enjoy. Although I think escapology now has a kid friendly version of this game with less difficult puzzles.
