Hi adventure guys. Do any of you own an old game called Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland? It’s a point-and-click game, mostly live action, based on one of the Goosebumps books. It’s mostly very cheesy, but the environments are very nice to look at. The puzzles aren’t hard but I think they’re fun. Also you can’t talk about the game without mentioning Jeff Goldblum’s small role as Dracula.

If you need help getting it to run on modern computers, what I did was went into the CD files, found a program called something like gboption.exe, and unchecked directdraw and high performance. And then always run the game from the “gb.exe” within the CD files. Also there’s the usual properties>compatibility if the previous stuff doesn’t work.

The game apparently contains 777 tokens, many of which you find by exploring the environment and playing mini-games, but the vast majority are found in weird real-time underground mazes reminiscent of Doom. Also, certain places in the game if you get “hit” (by touching fire or something) you lose a token, making it impossible to find them all.

I decided to try and find them all and only ended up locating 772. SO I came here to see if anyone was interested in working together to find them all. I took some incredibly dorky notes on how many I found in each area, so if anyone’s interested I can post that.

Never did quite finish the game. Do not have the desire or the time to play the game again unfortunately. A good game as i recall.
