Scooby-Doo is an adventure game released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Helixe and published by THQ.

It belongs to the GBA's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBA releases from 2001 include Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Sonic Advance and Advance Wars.

It is part of the Scooby-doo series; on the GBA you can also try Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed and 2 Games in 1: Scooby-Doo + Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. The series also appears on other systems with Scooby-Doo Mystery (SNES) and Scooby-Doo Mystery (Genesis). Helixe also made Star Wars: The New Droid Army, Cars and The Incredibles for the GBA.

Scooby-Doo 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 fast action rather than puzzles and exploration
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Scooby-Doo is like

Adventure games focus on exploration, story and puzzle-solving rather than combat. Progress comes from examining your surroundings, collecting items and figuring out how they fit together.

Tip for newcomers: Classic adventure games can be cryptic by modern standards. Take notes, try everything on everything, and save before risky choices.
