Hasbro Gaming Avalon Hill Scooby Doo in Betrayal at Mystery Mansion | Official Betrayal at House on The Hill Board Game | Ages 8+ Black

We loved this game. We already liked the more complex Betrayal at the House on the Hill game. This simplifies things, but only a little bit, so the game mechanic is not lost. It is good for older kids, not the little ones. Box says 8+ for age- I agree and add that it depends on the emotional/ behavioral maturity of the 8yr old. Our 8yr old in question probably should wait a year. We test played it 2x before deciding who we should invite to the table to play. We will plan on running a different game for the younger kids. I loved the Scooby Doo theme and so did my older son who watched the show. For kids that never watched Scooby Doo, it might be less exciting.

I love the original Betrayal at House on the Hill, and got this for my sister because we loved Scooby Doo growing up. There aren't any young kids in our family, but it was very well thought out to adapt the original game for new and young players. Part of the difficulty with Betrayal is the need to separate for the Haunt. In this version, the Haunt can be learned together, and you choose who plays the Monster. No one can be eliminated from the game, only stunned for a turn. I would also say that so far, the Haunts seem more balanced than the original. If you're a fan of Betrayal, there are a lot of rule differences, but all of them make sense thematically and help make the game kid-friendly. There's also a nice summary page in the rulebook that outlines the major differences. If you haven't played Betrayal, the rulebook is comprehensive and you'll pick it up pretty quick!

Betrayal at Mystery Mansion with Scooby-Doo is a fun, spooky twist on the classic board game! The Scooby-Doo theme adds a nostalgic touch, and the gameplay is engaging, with plenty of twists and turns. I love how each playthrough feels different, and the mix of strategy and mystery keeps everyone on their toes. The game is easy to learn but offers plenty of depth, making it enjoyable for both younger and older players. It's a perfect addition to family game nights or Scooby-Doo fans looking for a new challenge!

The game is fun and is a great micro-version of the normal Betrayal game with lots of fun Scooby Doo fan service and a streamlined version of the rules that makes it easier for beginners and children. Be warned though the components are MUCH cheaper. The character cards in particular started getting torn up after a single game.

Just like house on the hill it's a great game just because. But here you add the flavor of playing your beloved scooby gang. It's much more friendly and designed for kids as well as adults making this a great addition to any household with a passion for boardgames. My patients love this game. I wholeheartedly recommend this game!

Huge on Scooby-Doo related things, and Betrayal at House on Haunted Hill is easily my favorite board game. If you're buying for the sole purpose of a brand new Betrayal game, then you will likely be disappointed as it is a very watered down version of the original board game, however if you love Scooby Doo, you will enjoy that each of the scenarios are based on actual episode from the original "Scooby Doo! Where are you?" cartoon! Would've loved if the characters were models like that of the original game, however it is overall aesthetically pleasing! For Scooby Fans, a must have game that I recommend for kids 10 and up or adults who love the show. For Betrayal fans, this version makes it relatively difficult to be the traitor so, I would suggest some personal tweaks such as removing scooby snacks or adding 1 to all types of rolls to balance out the difficulty.

I love the Betrayal games, and I was very excited to get this for my kids! I have a 10 year old and an 11 year old, and this is very fun to play as a family with them. I love that each game is different, and even if they pick the same mystery starter, you are going to have different experiences. We try to role-play the storyline or give it a bit more information when moving around the game; often I am the one who sort of dungeon master's the play through. It makes it exciting! "Daphne opened the door on the left of the dining hall, and found a hidden office." Often times there are clues or items that are found in the room as well, "Daphne found a clue under a painting...."

While this is simpler than the usual edition, it remains exactly as good as its original version. And every one of the Mysteries is based upon a Scooby-Doo story from somewhere among the cartoons. Fun enough to play in a quick few times in an afternoon and repeat plays in no way get boring. Just the right amount of "fun spooky" we have come to expect from Scooby-Doo.

My wife and I play this with our 6 year old and she absolutely loves it and so do we, we'll worth buying perhaps one day will play the original with her when she's older.

Nos gustó Betrayal at house on the hill, y compramos la versión de Scooby Doo por curiosidad, aunque teníamos duda de si sería más bien para niños. Nos gustó bastante a toda la familia, ya que combina la mecánica de betrayal, con la diversión caricaturesca de Scooby. Los tiles son menos que en la versión original, pero vale la pena.

I had bought this for my son for a Christmas gift. Based on reading the instructions, this game was a tad confusing to learn and figure out - I ended up watching a YouTube video of someone playing the game and that was a tremendous help! Once I had see someone else play we were able to play. And it was a blast. We had a great time with this game and was a great family fun activity. I highly recommend it. I have a 9 and 7 year old. The 7 year old was able to keep up- but she would not be able to be the role of the monster on her own. I would say even my 9 yr old struggled a bit- with the reading and trying to understand everything. All and all it was a fun activity and I think aged 10-12 would be best suited for this game.

A fun Scooby Doo themed game for game night. Easier to learn this than the main betrayal game.

Cons: shipping and delivery was delayed. Pros: looks to be a fun game with a great concept. Easy to teach and suitable for from 8+.
