Scooby-Doo™ and the Spooky Castle Adventure

This was a cute, campy, simple game with good use of theme and some nice technology. Overall it’s an easy game best for beginners or kids. I went with my husband and two teenage boys. We had a good time with some funny moments. It was definitely not a stressful game. Very relaxing fun! The game masters are friendly and kind. However, a little dull. At the end of the game we were told that me “maybe” beat the record for fastest time and then asked us if we wanted our picture taken. That was it. No excitement, no celebration, no congratulations. Very anticlimactic.

The game itself was okay. We took 2 kids there, and they were able to do most of the room on their own, which was nice. The ending of the game isn’t that bombastic, you enter a code on the door, which triggers the ending video. But still, with the kids, we wanted them to enjoy the “Congratulations” video at the end that explained the end of the story. Annoyingly, the game master burst in just as the ending video started playing. We had to ask her to hold and let us finish watching it. She stood there the whole time with an annoyed look on her face. I also suspect they bypassed us on a puzzle which confused us and was also annoying because we finished with more than 10 minutes left. Ultimately, the game itself was cute and great for kids. But the customer service left a very bad taste in our mouths.

It was a fun room, game masters don’t say much though. It’s like are you ready? Here’s your room don’t hit escape buttons, timers here have fun. I like the rooms that build up a story, game master has a character to draw you in. Just adds to a lot more fun.
