Great game for the Scooby fan,
I bought this for my 4-year old son, a die-hard Scooby fan. We had a great time playing the game and is one of his favorites.
The CONS
- assembly instructions may as well be left out of the directions as here’s a toy with a lot of pieces with instructions in one tiny tiny pictures. In any case, not too difficult to figure out using the pictures on the box
- While the mansion itself is fairly sturdy, the pieces not so much. When the ghost on the top is pushed (to release the traps), need to be careful to push slowly or you’ll knock all the pieces off the board.
- Have to dissassemmble the gamne to get it back into the box. This is true of most games but assembly of this one takes a bit longer.
The PROS
- Very cute 3-D game. Traps work well
- Game is fairly straight forward and quick. Nothing worse than getting into a game with a little one that takes too long
- Good for little ones learning counting. They can spin the spinner and count the steps.
- Each push of the ghost releases different traps so the kids never know exactly what will happen next

A Skeptic Has Fun,
“No way!” I said, reading all the reveiws. My kids love Scooby; I grew up watching Scooby faithfully every Saturday when it first came out. The game appears ‘like’ a fun, haunted house on the picture, but per critics: it’s small, poor instructions, hard to assemble, falls apart- pieces fall off, etc. The good reviews must be from Scooby-holics worse than me.
I wasn’t going to buy it, waste my money, no way, find something else. So, my wife bought it. Now, we have to put it away because my wife, 2 and 5 year olds, and I are addicted. It’s simple: choose your character, spin the dial, get knocked down or caught in the trap and race up the mansion to uncover the ghoul. You must push the ghost down on a spring mechanism that operates the various obstacles. Mindless but fun.
The flaws: the setup instructions were unclear, but it’s easy to follow the picture on the box- 5 minutes; there’s very little challenge or education to it for young ones except taking your turn and counting, none for adults; our two year old tended to knock the little pieces over- gentle supervision needed; it’s compact and the game pieces can fall off if your not watching but it wasn’t a big deal for us.
It’s a cool, little, 3-D game with lots of silly details, e.g., skeletons, spider webs, lab, cemetary, ‘creepy’ pictures, etc. We’d turn the lights down, use a flashlight, and do our best “Gang” voices as we play. If you like family inclusive board games and love Scooby, I’d recommend this to you. Need a challenge? Look elsewhere.

Lack of durability is upsetting,
Although the Scooby-Doo board game was fun initially, it quickly lost its appeal when we soon realized that the pieces don’t hold together that well at all. The back walls come loose and fall down constantly as do the snake stairs. It’s nearly impossible to get past the snake stairs because almost every time you get on them, you have to press the ghost down and then you fall off them. The snake stairs also come apart from the frame of the game and you have to try to assemble them again. We decided to keep it together all the time instead of disassembling it and putting it back in the box every time we were done with it, but that didn’t prevent us from having to assemble it each time we wanted to play with it and having to assemble it several times during the game as well.
All in all, very poor quality and craftsmanship and just an annoyance to play. The bother far outweighs the educational and entertainment benefits.

Read it, love it!,
My son and I have read this book over and over and over again. Whether it’s Halloween time or not this book will be a sure favorite of kids’ who like the dark side. Don’t take this to mean that the book is dark or scary. What I mean is that if your kids have a taste for spookies then this book will not fail to please. Great pictures with subtle hidden pictures that show that the spookies and such aren’t real in this haunted house. The text is fun to read outloud to the wee ones.

Silly Fun!,
My 3 1/2 & 21 month old sons love this book and insist I read it to them evry night before bedtime. The artwork is attention grabbing and the prose has a nice cadence. Of course I throw in my own personal sound effects for the witches, ghosts, werewolf & Frankenstein. This just gets them giggling like crazy. This book is not too scary for the littlest kids, because if you look closely, there’s almost always a ‘hidden’ item which helps explains the ‘spooky’ stuff. You can point this out as you go along. The surprise ending is quite nice too. I highly reccommend this book for kids 18 months to 5 years.

Great Book,
I started reading this book to my kids when they were both around the age of four. Now they are about six and eight and they still love it. Funny book.
