This one's an oldie, but what a fun game to design!
It was an adventure game filled with logic puzzles and activities that are woven into the spooky storyline. I designed it from concept to launch while at The Learning Company.
Scooby and the gang travel to China for the Chinese New Year and the grand opening of an emperor’s underground palace. As soon as they arrive, a stone dragon comes to life and terrorizes the place.
The gang must explore the palace and local shops to find clues and solve the mystery.
In this puzzle, players use Scooby’s slingshot to flip the decorated tiles on the gate. The gate opens when all tiles share the same color OR the same shape as their neighbors.
Players help Scooby collect all the Scooby Snacks, navigating through the doors of the pagoda, before the dragon appears.
No Scooby story would be complete without food! Players cooked up Chinese recipes for Shaggy and Scooby by using the correct measurements and ingredients.
To get past the tiger, you had to soothe it to sleep with music by assigning the correct instruments and rhythms to the characters to match each target song.
Completing this lantern logic puzzle leads to another clue that gets the gang one step closer to catching the culprit.
