Introducing my next documentary project: Passport to Adventure: The SCUMM Story. There'll be more to share in the New Year, including the synopsis I put together with help from several LucasArts fans and adventure genre experts, but for now it'd be great if you could all just read the intro post in the attached images and join the waitlist at https://scummdoc.com if it sounds like something you'd enjoy.

Written and directed by award-winning journalist, historian, and documentary filmmaker Richard Moss (TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming, The Secret History of Mac Gaming, A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games), Passport to Adventure will peer behind the troop of three-headed monkeys and into the world's largest ball of twine to discover the inner workings of both the games and the engine that revolutionized a genre and ushered in a golden age of point-and-click adventures. Guided by interviews with key figures from the LucasArts SCUMM era, the film will be a joyful and in-depth retrospective journey through the travails of SCUMM development, the litany of influences and Easter eggs, the magnificent art, and the best (and worst) moments of the entire lineup of games made with the SCUMM engine — including the first three Monkey Islands, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Maniac Mansion, Loom, and many more.  We'll have more to share about our plans for the documentary in early 2026. Follow us on social media and join our waitlist at scummdoc.com to stay up to date.

(We need to prove there's interest in the project before it goes into crowdfunding and production, so waitlist signups really will make a difference. Plus you'll get to fill out a survey at some point, which I realise may not sound all that enticing but I can promise that all the responses will be read by me.)

@adamsdesk Good catch. I just let my team know. Hopefully someone will get it fixed soon.

@MossRC Good to hear!

@adamsdesk Fixed. My colleague forgot to update the link when remapping the domain. Here's a direct link: https://www.scummdoc.com/privacy-policy
