Toys and Games Reviews of Scooby-Doo! Haunted House Game
Customer Review: A Scooby-Doo! fan favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
My four year-old daughter is a die-hard Scooby fan and this game is her new favorite. As has been stated in earlier reviews the game does have to be disassembled to put it back in the box but it's quite easy to take apart and only take a few minutes to put away or to set up again. For younger players you may have to play along or supervise as the mechanics of the game require a little dexterity that may knock players from the board. As you can imagine this could cause some serious issues amongst the little players as they try to determine what went where and whose turn it is after the commotion has died down again. Best not to risk it and just play along. Besides how many board games can you just shove in front of your 4-6 year-old and let them just figure it out?
One of the better aspects of this game is the fact that it can be used as a play house to entertain young imaginations while the adult is busy doing something like preparing snacks. There are enough 3D features and the tokens are nice enough that kids can play with them on their own for awhile and not get immediately bored. That said, I'd suggest being within viewing distance to make sure they aren't roughing it up too much if your kids tend to play a bit rougher with their toys. It is a fairly sturdy game but the tokens are some of the game itself are cardboard and might not be able to take too much roughhousing. But you know your kids and you'll be able to judge that for yourself once you set eyes on the game.
The game does require some assembly - both right out of the box and each time you play it - some of which is not featured properly in the instructions, but there really aren't enough ways to put it together incorrectly to worry about and it really shouldn't inhibit one from buying the game.
An added bonus is the spinner. As a purveyor of game spinners, from the lousy Dinosaur train to fantastic classic LIFE board game, I take particular exception to poor spinners. This is one of the better ones. It's fun, in a severerd monster arm sort of way, and it spins freely and is quite easy for not-quite-completely-coordinated-and likely-to-just-shove-the-whole-thing-off-the-table younger child. I'd give it 5 stars just on the spinner alone.
Lastly, this would also make a great Halloween oriented game as there are spider webs, ghouls and other eerie attributes that make this perfect for the supernatural time of year. And it's no grimmer than the show itself so it's still cartoony enough for the faint of heart.
In summary: I'd have no qualms buying this game if I had to do it over again, and that cannot be said about many of the games I buy. It's fun, inventive, engaging, and the gameplay is easy to grasp and quick, and the price is right.
