  • 2022

    CMON's Scooby-Doo: The Board Game reaches backers after its 2020 Kickstarter campaign.

Many searches that land here are about the cartoon, not a game, so here’s the short version. The series and the card game share two words, but that’s all. The card game has its own entry: Scooby-Doo Guess Who card game.

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? is a TV series, not a board game

Search for a Scooby-Doo Guess Who? game and you may land on the cartoon instead.

Short on time? Jenga: Scooby-Doo Edition takes 5 to 15 minutes.

The TV series. Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? is an animated series from Warner Bros. Animation that premiered in 2019. Mystery Inc. solves cases alongside guest stars.

The related game. The Op’s Guess Who? Card Game: Scooby-Doo! Villains Edition is for 2 players, ages 5+. It includes 40 face cards and 20 mystery cards.

Not the board game. We found no Scooby-Doo edition of the Guess Who? board game. The card game is a separate, simpler product.

Clue is the Scooby-Doo license most likely to trip up buyers, since editions appeared across two decades. The 2019 box is the one with documented components; it has its own page, Scooby-Doo Clue game. The older editions are listed here for completeness.

Short on time? Jenga: Scooby-Doo Edition takes 5 to 15 minutes.

This section groups games by the kind of table they suit: cooperative, traitor, deduction, race, or dexterity. It’s a quicker way to choose than reading every card, especially for mixed groups. Families who like property trading can start with Scooby-Doo Monopoly.
