Trivia

 * The film's writers envisioned it as a "Scooby-Doo meets Clue" aside from parodying some of its tropes and theories such as the coward being a stoner, the genius being homosexual, the villain being a guy in a mask, TBD.
 * In addition, it's rated PG-13 as a tentative for Illumination to reach a more mature audience.
 * Despite mainly being live-action, Mousetrap is CG animated and the flashback sequences are animated in a fashion spoofing 1970s Hanna-Barbera.
 * For jokes, most of the characters in the flashbacks have voice doubles to emulate the teenage sound all of them grew out of, except for Grey Griffin, since she's a voice actress herself, as well as Tim Curry, Amy Poehler, David Koechner, Bryan Cranston, Gincarlo Esposito and Jane Lynch for being old enough to not need teenage-sounding voice doubles.
 * Even though it's mostly a parody of Scooby-Doo, the writers envisioned Moustrap more as a blend of Woody Woodpecker, Bugs Bunny and Jerry the Mouse due to her mischievous and snarky nature.
 * These are the disguised names of all of the previous villains:
 * Penny in the flashbacks' monster disguise is the Baba Yaga as her modern day disguise while hunting down the Sleuth Crew and the former culprits is called Vengeance.
 * Lionel's monster disguise was called the Sludge Demon.
 * Claudia's monster disguise was called the TBD.
