Behind the scenes

The jumpscare in question.
  • Aside from Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) appearing as a static image on the menu screen, none of the gang appear in the game itself, and Scooby himself, barely appears.
  • The game is notable for having a hidden jumpscare within its second exhibit ("The Mummy Archives"), where if the player picks up a crowbar and attempts to pry open the sarcophagus, it results in a dark screen with hieroglyphics and vague whispering in the background. The screen slowly fades to reveal a vague text reading, "Please, haven't much time. Someone coming, Need help before-", which then abruptly leads to an image of a mummified face accompanied with a scream and evil laughter.
