From Publisher: "Scooby and the gang are trapped in the creepy maze. The keys to the old wooden door are buried deep so it's up to the gang to do some digging. But watch out where you dig! The last thing you need is a zombie on your trail! Be the first to find the old key and escape the Maze of Mayhem . . . on a full belly of 'Scooby Snacks' of course!"
This is a basic roll-and-move game where players race to collect a key and three snacks before escaping from the maze. The keys and snacks are all hidden throughout the board but among them are three different monsters from various Scooby-Doo episodes. Once a monster is uncovered, it remains on the board and moves on a separate die roll each turn. Monsters catch players and send them back to start, complicating the process of gathering keys and snacks and moving to the exit. Because each player has the chance to move the monsters, there are typically many opportunities to slow down the progress of other players.
This game is a great one to play with kids on a wet afternoon stuck indoors. Basically use their toys to turn an area of the house into a toy store. Get the kids involved in choosing the games they would like to 'sell'. Write prices lists and stick them somewhere that the kids can see and reach ie Lego sets - $4, Dolls - $2
If you don't have any pretend money, you can make your own with the kids, then divide up the tasks and let them enjoy many hours of pretend shopping.
