Scooby-Doo: Jinx at the Sphinx

About

Scooby-Doo: Jinx at the Sphinx is a point-and-click adventure where you join the Mystery Inc. gang to solve a puzzle wrapped in a pyramid. The game tasks you with uncovering clues, solving riddles, and collecting hidden objects to crack the case. It leans into the classic Scooby-Doo formula with talking animals, cryptic traps, and a villainous twist. Gameplay is straightforward but peppered with educational nods, like basic geography and critical thinking. Released in 2001, it fits the era’s trend of edutainment but feels more like a fan service title for series devotees. The Learning Company’s signature style is present, bright visuals and simple puzzles, but it lacks the polish of modern adventures. Still, it holds a 7.2/10 on retro gaming sites, with players noting it’s a decent time capsule for old-school Scooby-Doo fans. PC only.
