All-New SCOOBY-DOO!™ Mansion Mayhem Traveling Exhibit Opens on Friday, September 20
“Come on, team, we’ve got a mystery to solve!” Join SCOOBY-DOO!™ and the gang to solve a gem of a mystery when the all-new SCOOBY-DOO!™ Mansion Mayhem opens on Friday, September 20, at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). This immersive experience, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, allows families to join the members of Mystery Inc. to analyze clues and put their problem-solving skills to the test. Young detectives and their families will work through the rooms of the mansion meeting different characters from the iconic TV show that has captivated fans for more than five decades. Unmask the jewel thief and discover secrets of the mansion through January 5, 2025.
“MODS is thrilled to welcome everyone’s favorite crime-sleuthing canine and the gang just in time for spooky season,” said Joseph P. Cox, president and CEO of MODS. “The mysteries of Scooby-Doo deliver laughter and thrills that make supernatural sleuthing enjoyable for fans of all ages. This curious exhibit encourages inquisitive minds to work together by employing STEAM-based critical thinking skills rooted in fun, popular culture.”
In the Hall of Portraits, meet Daphne—the brave fashionista of the gang. Comb through moving eye portraits to discover the villain’s hidden control panel that creates spooky illusions. In the Villain’s Tinkering Workshop, work alongside Fred, the group’s calm and collected leader, to build a trap for the villain. Green glowing clues appear to help along the way! Shaggy and his lovable canine pal Scooby-Doo™ can be found in the kitchen of course, where families participate in the iconic ghost chase and create many more delicious memories. No mystery can be solved without the help of tech-savvy Velma in the library music room. Solve a musical puzzle on the organ and use the Clue Analyzer to get a visual of the villain.
Be sure to gather the family for a mesmerizing photo op with The Mystery Machine! The iconic vehicle, on loan from Warner Bros. Archives, was one of four that were initially made for the live-action movies SCOOBY-DOO (2002) and SCOOBY-DOO 2: MONSTERS UNLEASED (2004).
