snacks

English to Arabic Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports Adventure games
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?

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.

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.
