Mark as done to rate
The town of Crystal Cove and the surrounding areas are being terrorized by monsters and ghosts. 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. Unfortunately when you get to the Spooky Castle, Mystery Incorporated get locked out, at the same time as you get locked in! You soon realize that Mystery Incorporated are able to help by communicating clues via magic portraits inside the Castle. Discovering a secret Dungeon and Monster Lab in the Castle, you realize this is where the evil is being created and set about solving the crime. 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?

Very fun game. High recommend to bring your kids as there is a lot they can interact with and easy for them to follow along! We had a great time!

Not a particularly inspired experience. You could easily change the appearance and call it the Transformers room, or (insert-nostalgic-cartoon-here). It’s okay, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but the folks who just like doing all the escape rooms that are out there for the heck of it. It’s passable.
Gameplay
The overall flow was fine, and most puzzles were pretty intuitive. The game, and this entire location in general, are lacking in activities that are merely fun factor. It’s always some sort of puzzle, and often times it’s a mapping type of puzzle.
Atmosphere
Very colorful and cute. Clean and polished.

This room is a fine activity for an escape room enthusiast - those who attend a room just cause it’s something to do within an X-mile radius - but if this is something you only do once in a blue moon, I would skip this room.
Story
My main gripe about this room is that it didn’t actually feel like a scooby doo room. I grew up watching those cartoons, and there are certain elements of every episode that could have been used. Instead, it feels like they gave the job to someone who doesn’t actually know, or even like, scooby doo, and told them to make an escape room out of it. Some familiar characters and voices and tangential elements are dropped in, but besides shallow appearances, I never felt as though I were immersed in that universe.
Difficulty
Easy
Ideal number of players
This is a very linear game, with minimal multitasking puzzles (if any). I wouldn’t do this with more than 4 people. We did it with two and it felt good.
