English term or phrase: snacks
Prepare for spooks, laughs, and many snacks with Scooby and the gang

I don't think it means food in this sense.

How would you translate it in the sense of an adventure game?

Explanation:
It does means Snacks because Scoopy the dog is known for his love of food.

In the cartoon, he is always seen eating snacks with his buddy.

Explanation:
Snacks here does indeed refer to food, and the previous responses are technically correct. But Scooby Doo is a cartoon, and has a very informal register in English. "Light meals" sounds incongruous in this context. Furthermore, you need a translation that will work well with the name Scooby, because Scooby Snacks is the name of the dog treats the gang gives Scooby Doo. I can't think of any way to reproduce the alliteration in Arabic, but at the very least it should have a similar rhythm or shared sound, and this would come close with the similarity between the /p/ and /b/ sounds. I hope that helps.
