There's an issue with it taking away a character at the start of chapter 2 and not being able to open envelope 3 because of it.

Family escape room. Enjoyed very much. Would definitely recommend. Although, seasoned Escape Room players won't likely find much of a challenge. This is more about the theme and flavour text which is well done. Played solo. I did cheat and brute forced the maze, rather than solve it, as it was late at night. And when it comes to colours, this might help, close enough is good enough. Playing solo, I didn't always remember to switch characters as much which having more than one player would help with.

This was a big surprise, especially given the goofy-sounding actions of some of the characters (Shaggy eats, Scooby smells, and Daphne merely "uses"). Many of the puzzles were really satisfying and the secret envelopes were a lot of fun. Our only complaint was that we felt the mystery at the end was a bit thin.
