INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
Strange and spooky things are going on at the Funland Amusement Park!
But when SCOOBY-DOO and the gang visit, they find that all the ghosts are
just a bunch of phony pictures made by some projectors. Now it’s up to you
and SCOOBY-DOO to find all the projectors and turn them off, so Funland
can be fun again! Test your courage and smarts in this exciting adventure,
and learn fun school skills such as spelling, vocabulary, numbers, and
problem solving.

mansion.
