“Debuting a series of The Op’s new signature line of Coded Chroniclesโข games, Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion puts you right in the roles of Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby to unfold a mystery in real-time,” the company shared in a new statement.
“Coded Chroniclesโข games are like no other tabletop game you’ve ever played before. As the name suggests, they’re the first at-home escape room-style activity that integrates storylines from iconic franchises into the foundation of a unique code-revealing mechanic, which players use to cooperatively and gradually unlock new parts of the game. It’s the same nail-biting excitement of a real escape room, but without the time limit!”
According to the release, Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lin created the game for players 12 and up. The deductive game can be done in two hours or less, so you know escape game fans will be glad to try this game out. And if it doesn’t have you crying out jinkies by the end, we’d be surprised!
