I am not impressed with this game for the money spent. Hard to put together takes up to much room to leave it up all the time. My daughter has played with it only a couple of times. Not the best!!!

The game is actually a pretty good concept and kind of fun. Plus, it has the bonus of going pretty quickly. Unfortunately, it is made so cheaply (overpriced!) that at times it is almost impossible to play. First off, the game board is small, so it is even hard for smaller hands to move the pieces on the back of the lower lever. Then the snakey stairs fall off continually. Plus, they are so shaky that the characters fall off almost every move which is a complete pain. Once you make it above the snakey stairs, the rest of the game is OK. Assembly is very easy. Our ghost didn't pop up properly at first, but now works fine. Beware - your kids will want to press down the ghost all the time. I don't see this game lasting long without breaking.

My 8 year old Scooby Fan loves this game but it annoys me and would annoy any other adult that trys to play but the flimsy way its put together makes it impossible to play normally. Each time you push the ghost down to set off the traps, the stairs fall down amongst other parts that do not stay in their designated spots. You constantly have to re-assemble the parts.

This game was only fun for my family insofar as we laughed and laughed every time another piece fell off. Every time someone had to push the ghost down, one of us would yell, "call the repairman!" Traps almost spring, hinges jam, and players fall off the board (creating amusing family controversy over which player used to be on which space). One of the most fun and entertaining challenges of this game was trying to figure out where the players start, which is not indicated on the board or in the instructions. The game is especially fun for four players, as the instructions state that players may not occupy the same space, and must therefore stack up behind one another in a delightful log-jam configuration. After a rollicking ten minutes of sheer side-splitting frustration, we declared our six-year-old the winner and then selected another game that might tempt us to play it more than once.

This game is almost a complete waste of money. My 4 year old son loves Scooby-doo and will move the toys around the game board for a bit, but they are very unstable and repeatedly fall over. It is a bit frustrating and fails to hold his interest for very long because of its poor construction. He normally has a very good, long attention span and can play many other games with no problem (Hungry Hippos, Hi-Ho CherryO, memory, go fish, Candy Land). The Scooby game is good for about ten minutes (I don't last that long), whereas we can play the other games together for an hour or more.
My 7 year-old nephew reacted similarly.
Cons:
1. Very poor directions on assembly; small pictures and not descriptive. They would be better off not including them. It is easier to assemble by looking at the picture on the box.
2. The game directions are pretty poor as well, it doesn't tell you what to do if a character can't move because the cage is down, or if more than one character are the same space, etc.
3. The game board a pieces are very easily knocked over, and you need to be very careful when pushing down the ghost on top to not knock over all of the pieces.
4. The beginning spaces are very hard to get to without knocking into some part of the haunted house and knocking down all of the pieces currently on the board.
5. Can't store the game in the box without taking the board apart.
Pros:
1. Counting (I think you are better off with Hi Ho Cherry-O for that).
2. The traps are kind of neat if you just want to see the characters trapped or knocked off and don't mind the characters all getting knocked over when you push down on the ghost, and it is a Scooby haunted house.
I think they would have been much smarter to just make a haunted house play house with actual figurines and traps and have it cost more.
