Scooby-Doo Interactive DVD Game Details
• “Who’s That Villain”
# # #
- This challenge spans throughout game play. A video clip of a different villain being unmasked is shown at three different intervals. Player must watch each clip carefully as, later in the game play, the player is shown the mask/disguise of one of the villains and must identify which villain is the culprit and the wearer of that mask.
- The scene is set as the Mystery, Inc. team gathers around an old tape recorder. They have been left with an audio clue and need your help to determine what exactly the spooky sound is that they are hearing. Help them solve this case. Is it a rattling of chains? Is it the sloshing of wet footsteps? Is it the whistling sound of wind? Is it the howl of the werewolf? You decide!
- Using the fortuneteller and her crystal ball as the key components of this challenge, the player is asked a Scooby-Doo and Crew-related question. The crystal ball goes haywire and begins to smoke, emitting lightning bolts. An answer slowly begins to reveal itself through a misty cloud. For added challenge, the visual of the answer may be distorted, jumbled, backwards, have extra letters or missing letters. The player has limited time to guess the answer before it’s revealed.
- Fred and Daphne need your help. They are looking for an item hidden somewhere. Player is shown a scene (indoor or outdoor landscape) and is asked to help them find the missing item. It may be anything from a baseball to a crowbar. Player must use a magnifying glass to inspect different parts of the scenery. Various objects are revealed within the magnifying glass as close-up details of the scenery become clear. Hurry and locate the correct item before time runs out.
- All the running around from the ghost has made Shaggy and Scooby-Doo hungry. Join them on their break from sleuthing at the Groovy Snack Shack. Watch Scooby make one super-dooper sandwich and then proceed to eat it. Your task is to assemble the correct ingredients in order to make a duplicate sandwich for Shaggy.
