This came out in 2001, but I didn't see it until 2023. It is the first movie in which Daphne is voiced by Grey DeLisle. (The other actors for the Mystery Inc. gang didn't change.) The gang goes to visit an old friend named Eric (Bob Bergen), a college student who had designed a computer game based on Mystery Inc. But before they get to his school, a computer virus materializes in the real world thanks to a laser meant to digitize items from the real world and put them in the computer world (rather like Tron). The gang chases the "phantom virus" around for awhile before being zapped into Eric's computer game, where they have to play through ten levels while being chased by the virus and various monsters. Meanwhile, Eric watches the gang's progress, along with his programming partner, Bill, their teacher Professor Kaufman (Tom Kane), and the head of security, Officer Wembley (Joe Alaskey). In the final level, the gang meet virtual characters based on themselves, who give them some help.

That's pretty much all I want to say, except of course the gang eventually beat the game and return to the real world, and determine who had created the virus (which I had predicted all along). Anyway, I thought it was a fairly funny movie, and I ended up liking it more than I expected to. Although I don't think it was quite as good as the first two movies in the series (so I may want to raise my ratings of those movies, especially "The Witch's Ghost", which I had rated the same as I did this one).
