Scooby-Doo and The Spooky Castle Adventure

Loved the Scooby Doo theme of the escape room and the characters being on screen. Definitely worth doing, best room I’ve done at Escapology.

We didn’t escape but had a great time. (We aren’t hung up on escaping.) However, we were seconds from finishing the final puzzle. This game had a great variety of puzzles, all appropriately Scooby-Doo themed. The decor and props are very cartoony in a good way. There were multiple instances of the Mystery Inc. characters providing pointers as the game progressed. Our only challenge was a seemingly inattentive gamemaster that cost us several minutes. Clues are provided on a video monitor.

I do work at this Escapology location so I will try my best to set all biases aside when I write this review, but I do genuinely think this room is one of the best in the greater Cleveland area. The Scooby Doo immersion and charm is prominent from start to finish - with real Scooby Doo voice actors prominent throughout and fun, wacky props and puzzles along the way. I played this room by myself and got out in about an hour and eight minutes (with lots of clues,) and while there is a lot going on at times, none of the puzzles are too terribly hard and I think it's a middle-tier difficulty, and right in the middle of the 5 Escapology North Olmsted rooms in terms of difficulty. Out of 20 rooms I've played at the time of writing, this one ranks 3rd. I highly recommend this room for everyone who likes Scooby Doo, escape rooms, and especially both!
