  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

What playing Scooby-Doo Mystery 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.
