conversations.value: A collaborative work-in-progress.
  
  Inspired by Scooby-Doo and other silly mystery/horror franchises, *Zoinks!* follows a small band of adventure seekers as they investigate haunted mansions, abandoned theme parks, missing  treasures, or any other worthy pastime. Our heroes often encounter strange and explainable phenomena and creatures, some of which may be supernatural and some of which only appear to be.
