Before playing today’s game I Spy Spooky Mansion I can’t say that I had high expectations due to the game being made for younger audiences. Outside of 5-Minute Mystery, Sherlook, and Scrutineyes though most have been pretty average at best as they don’t really expand on the premise in any meaningful way. There have been quite a few board games that have utilized this find the hidden object premise and we have taken a look at a lot of them including two Where’s Waldo? games ( Where’s Waldo? Waldo Watcher, Where’s Waldo? World Game). For a long time I have thought that this would make for a good board game.
The premise of the books was simple as you had Waldo and his friends hidden among a bunch of other people and objects. I liked it so much that our family ended up picking up quite a few of the official books and even some of the knockoff books. Growing up I was a pretty big fan of the Where’s Waldo? franchise.
