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?

I wish that I liked this room more but unfortunately it was ridden with malfunctions and our game master was entirely unhelpful. The game was a great idea but the technology fell very short. Even the hint board was malfunctioning to the point that we couldn’t see any of our hints.

Gameplay

The concept of the game was fun and game flow could have gone well if there weren’t so many malfunctions. We got stuck at many points because of malfunctions, including a malfunctioning hint board and inattentive game master.

Atmosphere

Fun and immersive Scooby Doo surroundings. Very small rooms though.

Customer service

Respectfully, the GM was terrible. They were entirely unhelpful. Many things malfunctioned in the room and we weren’t given any help. One of the things that malfunctioned in the room was the hint screen so we couldn’t even see our hints.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Interesting and different concept with really poor execution.

Story

The story was fun for Scooby Doo fans.

Difficulty

Hard

Would not have been hard if there weren’t so many malfunctions.

Game tech

High tech

Supposed to be high tech but the technology was really bad and almost never worked.

Ideal number of players

4

The game play could be completed with more than 4 players but the rooms were really cramped.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

8

If this room worked the way that it should have then it would be a great introduction for younger escape room players.

Was anything broken?

Yes

SO MANY THINGS! We lost a lot of valuable time in the room because so many pieces malfunctioned and the game master didn’t help us.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Not at all

No stairs or crawling required.

Accessibility

It was not physically intense but rooms were cramped. Most challenges could be bypassed by team collaboration and communication.

Easy to find location

Yes

Stood out on the shopping strip.

Parking

Easy

Plenty of parking nearby.

Fun room, not very challenging. Great for newer players or groups with kids. Personally not a fan of scent puzzles but this one was distinct enough scents it was fine. Had one mechanical malfunction but Riley was attentive and a great GameMaster overall.

Gameplay

Cute gameplay, pretty linear. Flow was good.

Atmosphere

Cartoony in a good way.

Customer service

Riley was attentive and upbeat.

Game tech

High tech

Good but if mag locks and video interactions, not much in effects.

I really enjoyed the theme. The only thing I didn't like it it's not really anything to do with the gam,e was when we got stuck on a part we got the answer instead of a hint.

Overall I enjoyed the concept but the game can use improvement. Look at my other review above for specifics.

Gameplay

The theme was a good concept but the game itself was disjointed and props malfunctioned up to and including their clue delivery system. The GM was not attentive giving us hints on already solved puzzles or items already found. The game itself had several logic leaps and no sign posting. Things like why would I use this prop on that item. They are not a natural pair and nothing to indicate you should use them together.
