Developed by Artificial Mind & Movement and published by THQ, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2003 as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and adventure elements.

It landed about 2 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2003 include Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Sonic Battle.

It is part of the Scooby-Doo! series; on the GBA you can also try Scooby-Doo! Unmasked. The series also appears on other systems with Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers (N64). Artificial Mind & Movement also made Ice Age, The Sims 2: Pets and Drake & Josh for the GBA.

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
