This is a game I ran for my kids… just some fun in quarantine!
The gang notice that the carnival Funland appears to be operating by itself, so they go to investigate. They soon discover a crazy robot running loose, but when they notify the caretaker, he and his sister rebuff them, convincing the kids to solve the mystery themselves.
Setting the Scene
Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby are driving down the the highway along the beach when the nearby amusement park mysteriously starts running, lights, rides and all. Velma states that the carnival was not supposed to open for weeks. The gang checks it out.
Surprisingly, the gang is able to order food and play games, but there is nobody around. Everything is running with no operators or cashiers. Scooby and Shaggy then catch sight of a fleeting figure dash across the aisle and into the Hall of Mirrors. After it!
The Finally
Setting up a Jeep rigged with a huge electromagnet, the gang, with Jenkins, sets out to find Charlie. The magnet begins to work, but all of a sudden, the magnet stops working and then the robot short-circuits; it is evident now that the cable has been cut. Scooby discovers a person lurking by a fence, and Ms. Jenkins steps out with wire cutters. She confesses that she was the one who caused Charlie to go out of control. She did not think that robots should operate in a place where children come to have fun.
