I recently watched an interview of [Bill Tiller](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/interviews-videos-with-game-devs/4387/4) and somebody mentioned he owns [Haunted Mansion Game (1972)](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5893/haunted-mansion-game).

Looking this up led me to a much more recent board game: **[Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion (2020)](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/302344/scooby-doo-escape-haunted-mansion)**.

It’s basically Maniac Mansion / SCUMM!

- You have multiple rooms.
- You collect inventory items.
- You can use those items on objects in the rooms.
- There are multiple characters (it’s a co-op game).
- You have multiple verbs (each character has its own, e.g. Scooby-Doo can _smell_, Velma can _research_ etc.).

(I’ve learned this from watching this video: [How to Play video by Tantrum House](https://youtu.be/Ex4Vxy7tMuE))

> Does the concept for this original game still exist? Or did it went the way of the lego pirate ship? Would it have been close to a potentially releaseable state? Or would it be no fun to play after the original rules? Maybe if you tweaked it a bit, could a fan made version maybe be a non commercial project for the future? This sounds interesting.
