( Fred , Daphne , Velma , Shaggy and Scooby - Doo ) attend the opening of an exhibition at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum commemorating their past solved cases with monster costumes on display . However , the celebrations are interrupted by a masked man known as the Evil Masked Figure who steals two costumes using the reanimated Pterodactyl Ghost . The gang are ridiculed by journalist Heather Jasper Howe , who starts a smear campaign against them . Concluding an old enemy is the mastermind , the gang revisit old cases , dismissing the former Pterodactyl Ghost , Jonathan Jacobo , due to his death during a failed prison escape , they guess that Jeremiah Wickles , the Black Knight Ghost 's portrayer and Jacobo 's cell mate in prison , is the culprit . Going to Wickles ' mansion , the group fall through a trapdoor and into a cage targeting unwelcome callers , but escape with the aid of Daphne 's cosmetics . Inside , the gang find a book that serves as an instruction manual on how to create monsters . Shaggy and Scooby - Doo find a note inviting Wickles to visit the Faux Ghost nightclub . They are attacked by the Black Knight Ghost , but escape when Daphne fights him off while Velma discovers its weak spot and disables it . Before fleeing , the rest of the gang had previously discovered through the book found in Wickles ' mansion that the key ingredient to creating the monsters was a substance called `` randomonium '' , which can be found at the old silver mining town . After Daphne helps Velma overcome her fears of intimacy and assert herself by changing up her image , Daphne , Velma and Fred go to the museum accompanied by the curator Patrick Wisely , but discover that the rest of the costumes have been stolen . Heather Jasper Howe ridicules the gang further by turning the city against them . The gang go to the mines , finding Wickles ' plans to turn it into an amusement park . As they confront Wickles , he states that he and Jacobo were cell mates who hated each other , and denies any connection to the museum robberies . Shaggy and Scooby , after overhearing the rest of the gang criticizing their tendency to bumble every operation , and especially their most recent offense in failing to secure the Pterodactyl Ghost at the museum , resolve to better themselves and become real detectives . Following the lead from Wickles ' note , their first clue ever , they sneak into the Faux Ghost wearing disguises to try and solve the mystery . After speaking to Wickles , they learn he has resolved his ways . Scooby eventually causes a scene and his disguise falls off , leading Scooby and Shaggy to escape through a trash chute . On their way out , they spot Patrick uncharacteristically assaulting someone who appears to be a member of his staff , ordering him to find answers to who vandalized his museum . Escaping an awkward interaction with Patrick , Shaggy and Scooby spot Wickles leaving the club and follow him . The gang then find the Monster Hive where the costumes are brought to life as real monsters . Shaggy and Scooby play around with the machine 's control panel , bringing several costumes to life , and the gang flee with the panel as the Evil Masked Figure terrorizes the city . Escaping to their old high school clubhouse , the gang realize they can reverse the control panel 's power by altering its wiring . Captain Cutler 's Ghost emerges from the bayou , forcing the gang to head back to the mines , encountering the various monsters along the way . Velma sees Patrick in the mines , finding a shrine dedicated to Jacobo built by Patrick , but Patrick proves his innocence by helping Velma after a catwalk unexpectedly gives way under her . The gang confront the Evil Masked Figure , but the Tar Monster captures and attempts to drown all of them , but Scooby escapes , and uses a fire extinguisher to freeze the Tar Monster 's body . He reactivates the control panel , transforming the costumes back to normal . The gang take the Evil Masked Figure to the authorities , unmasking him as Heather . When asked why Heather did what she did , Velma suddenly pulls and peels Heather 's face off , revealing she is actually Jacobo in disguise ; Jacobo had actually survived the fall from the prison wall , and sought to get revenge on Mystery , Inc. by discrediting them . Jacobo 's cameraman Ned is also arrested as an accomplice . Mystery , Inc. are praised as heroes once again in Coolsville . In the Faux Ghost , the gang celebrates their victory with the now reformed criminals , whom they unmasked in the past ( including Wickles ) . After the credits , Scooby - Doo is seen playing a Scooby - Doo 2 Game Boy Advance game . After he succeeds , he tells the viewers to enter the Scooby - Doo 2 Game Boy Advance code .
