On the far right of the exhibit, there lies an innocuous-looking crowbar that players can use to open the sarcophagus. Naturally most players would assume this tool would help them find or solve any clues to escape the exhibit.  Unfortunately for the unassuming player, this tool is nothing but a bait and switch.
 
When using the crowbar on the sarcophagus, the screen transitions to a dark screen of various hieroglyphics (possibly what's inside the sarcophagus).  Vague and creepy whispering can be heard, with hard-to-read text slowly fading in saying the following.
 
"Please, haven't much time.  Someone coming, Need help before"
 
Right after the last words fade in, a creepy image of a skull/mummy with yellow eyes flashes with an ear-piercing scream.  The image is quite realistic, and does not fit in with the otherwise innocent theme of the game.

Gameplay

The text shows brief moments before the screamer appears

In the game, the player assumes the role of Scooby-Doo, who is trapped in the "Coolsonian Museum". To escape, the player must navigate through three exhibits while solving various difficult puzzles. These exhibits are titled "Hall of the Great Beyond", "The Mummy Archives", and "Zombies through the ages". In Exhibit 2, the player must find a way to make the coffin in the middle of the level descend into the ground to reveal a staircase leading to the next level.

During this exhibit, players can find a crowbar that they assume can help them find or solve clues to escape. However, using the crowbar on the sarcophagus results in a dark screen of hieroglyphics, with vague and creepy whispering in the background. The text slowly fades in, saying "Please, haven't much time. Someone coming, Need help before". As the last word fades in, an image of a skull/mummy with yellow eyes flashes on the screen accompanied by a loud scream, which is very realistic and unexpected in the context of the game.
