Top 13 Scariest Roblox Games

Spooky season is here, so you might want to dive into the scariest Roblox games available on the platform! You wouldn’t think that horror games on a visually limited platform like Roblox would be particularly terrifying, but you’d be surprised at the number of genuinely scary Roblox games that are out there. Read on to discover our curated list of the scariest Roblox games ever made!

13. ELMIRA

• Developer: Drawing Board Studios
• Total Visits: 98.1M
• Subgenre: Multiplayer
• Click here to play ELMIRA.

After falling asleep on a school bus, you wake up alone in a mysterious and lonely place, seemingly devoid of any and all life. Like a true horror protagonist, you decide to explore the area, and you eventually stumble upon an abandoned path to an old hospital. Once inside the building, you soon discover (to your horror) that some mysteries are best left unsolved.

ELMIRA will absolutely scare any player, especially since its plot is loosely based on the legend of the “black-eyed children”. This is a legend about evil spawns with pure black eyes luring people by appearing helpless (anyone ever seen The Grudge?). All I’m saying is, you don’t want to play this one with the lights off!

12. The Mimic

• Developer: CTStudio
• Total Visits: 979.6M
• Subgenre: Escape
• Click here to play The Mimic.

The Mimic is a Japanese-style horror game loosely based on ancient urban legends, divided into multiple stories. Each of these stories has its own unique twists and turns, and anyone unlucky enough to get caught up in them is in for a wild ride.

The game is constantly being updated, so you’ll never get tired of reliving the same horror experience over and over again. The immersive thrill of The Mimic gets even scarier with modes like Nightmare that further intensify the gameplay experience. Don’t play this one alone if you get scared easily!

11. Short Horror Games

• Developer: Cryptid Horror
• Total Visits: 6.9M
• Subgenre: Multiplayer
• Click here to play Short Horror Games.

Short Horror Games is like Netflix, but for quick and fun horror experiences. Once you boot into the game there’s a menu where you can select from the current rotation of stories, all of which can be played in co-op.

Each one of the three currently available stories is much more detailed than you may expect, with cutscenes, plenty of narrative, and a tense atmosphere that builds up gradually. The easiest comparison point is Silent Hill 2, so if you want something like that on Roblox, look no further. Even better, you’ll be able to get through each one within an hour or so!

10. Wormy

• Developer: KOSMOS
• Total Visits: 120.5M
• Subgenre: Survival
• Click here to play Wormy.

We all remember that one SpongeBob episode about “wormy”, right? The one where Wormy, the caterpillar, turns into a butterfly that terrorizes Bikini Bottom? Well, this game is sort of like that, except Wormy isn’t just a slightly unsettling butterfly on the bottom of the ocean; it’s a six-foot-tall worm creature with a disturbing propensity for murder.

While stuck inside a department store overnight (every boomer dad’s dream scenario), players must find a way to escape the slimy clutches of Wormy, a towering worm creature with arms and a face that has a habit of beating people to death. If that doesn’t sound like one of the weirdest, most unsettlingly scary Roblox games of all time, then I don’t know what does!

9. Break In

• Developer: Cracky4
• Total Visits: 2.5B
• Subgenre: Adventure
• Click here to play Break In.

If you’re a fan of The Purge and have been frothing at the mouth for a game within the franchise, then you’re in luck! Break In is the perfect game for Purge fans and Roblox players alike. After you load up the game, you and 11 other players will be thrown into a house, which you’ll need to both survive in and protect with your life during the in-game Purge.

After a couple of minutes, a “breaking news” bulletin will air on a TV, warning everyone to keep their doors locked and defend themselves against the numerous killers on the loose. Defending your home along with your life won’t be easy, but dying is the only other option. Break In allows players to conduct daring escapes from brutal murderers, discover secrets about the house and its contents, and even participate in a 12-player multiplayer co-op; what else could you ever ask for in a game?

8. Survive the Killer!

• Developer: Slyce Entertainment
• Total Visits: 2.1B
• Subgenre: Survival
• Click here to play Survive the Killer.

Survive the Killer is the Roblox version of Dead by Daylight, the immensely popular multiplayer horror game. Survive the Killer’s gameplay is both exciting and terrifying, as you can randomly be assigned to play as either a survivor or a killer for each round.

There are many exclusive knives available for purchase when getting into the role of a killer, as well as exclusive items to trade amongst other players. If you are assigned as a survivor, you also have the option to gain rewards when reviving a certain number of players and collecting loot. There are innumerable opportunities for gains and losses for players in Survive the Killer; don’t pay it if you’re not up for the challenge!

7. DOORS

• Developer: LSPLASH
• Total Visits: 5.6B
• Subgenre: Survival, Escape
• Click here to play DOORS.

DOORS is easily considered by many to be one of the scariest Roblox games to come out in recent years, if not ever. This Roblox experience will make even the most hardcore gamers wish they’d never heard of it; you definitely don’t want to go messing with this game if you’re not up for the challenge.

DOORS is a unique, maze-like horror game that encourages players to “use each death as a lesson” in figuring out how to escape its twisted terrors. Each door in this game’s lethal labyrinth unlocks a whole new world of terror for players to get lost in, and you never know what’s on the other side until you’ve already experienced the horror. Losing your way in DOORS doesn’t just mean the end of your playthrough, it could very well mean the end of your tenuous grasp on your sanity!

6. Scary Hide & Seek

• Developer: Deep Sleep Entertainment
• Total Visits: 8.1M
• Subgenre: Prop hunt
• Click here to play Scary Hide & Seek.

Scary Hide & Seek is a more simplified version of experiences like Survive the Killer!, albeit one that takes itself less seriously. Unlike that game, where you need to find organic hiding spots to hunker down, in Scary Hide & Seek you can take the shape of items around the world, akin to a prop hunt.

While that definitely removes some of the horror atmosphere, the range of jumpscares and the overall terror of being tracked down means you can never rest easily in Scary Hide & Seek. It’s one better played with friends rather than strangers, and a perfect way to kill some time this Halloween.

5. Sonic.EXE: The disaster 1.2

• Developer: OutLaikRBLX
• Total Visits: 39M
• Subgenre: Survival
• Click here to play Sonic.EXE: The disaster 1.2.

When you think of Sonic the Hedgehog and Roblox, you likely think of the faithful, licensed Sonic Speed Simulator. Look a bit deeper, though, and you’ll spot Sonic.EXE: The disaster 1.2, a survival horror game more akin to Five Nights at Freddy’s.

This time around, you select your player character as one of Sonic’s beloved companions, ranging from Tails to Shadow. Then, you trawl through a maze as a demonic version of the blue blur hunts you all down, killing you one by one with plenty of jump scares afoot. It’s a truly terrifying experience, and one that all Sonic fans should try out.

4. The Maze

• Developer: HyperSlica
• Total Visits: 245.6M
• Subgenre: Survival, Escape
• Click here to play The Maze.

The Maze is a perfect modern example of a classic horror game. It’s got everything a classic horror game needs: a hauntingly creepy soundtrack, jumpscares around every corner, and a building sense of dread that holds your fight-or-flight response hostage for the entire game. What’s not to love?

As soon as you boot up the game, the start menu begins to play a haunting piano melody that’ll have you creeped out long before the actual game begins. From there, you’ll begin your journey into the haunted maze where a horrendous lurking monster stalks its victims. For those who grew up on the lo-fi scares of Slender, The Maze on Roblox is exactly what you’re after.

3. Spider

• Developer: RoyStanford
• Total Visits: 2.4B
• Subgenre: Survival
• Click here to play Spider.

If you’d love nothing more than to turn into a terrifying arachnid mutant and hunt down all of your friends, then congratulations, you’ve just found the perfect Roblox game for you! Spider is a game on Roblox that allows players to take on the role of either “spider” or “survivor”, just like Scary Hide & Seek or Survive the Killer!

Those who are assigned the role of “spider” must lay traps and hunt down all of the other players before they escape. Alternatively, those who are assigned the role of “survivor” must find ways to escape the spider mutant’s clutches, all while solving a series of complex puzzles in order to escape the house they’re trapped in. If you’ve got arachnophobia, it’s bound to keep you up at night.

2. Midnight Fried Chicken

• Developer: Elevated Horror
• Total Visits: 1.9M
• Subgenre: Survival, Story-Driven
• Click here to play Midnight Fried Chicken.

While it might sound silly in concept, Midnight Fried Chicken is anything but a wacky comedy-horror game. You and up to three other friends find yourselves in a dark chicken restaurant after replying to a job ad. What awaits you is pretty sinister, however, as it turns out the shop is filled with demons trying to kill you.

It’s a very story-driven game with branching endings to experience and a really in-depth narrative to sink your teeth into. It’s likely one that’ll be best on consoles – and with some friends in tow to water down the scares!

1. Piggy

• Developer: MiniToon
• Total Visits: 13.1B
• Subgenre: Survival
• Click here to play Piggy.

Last but definitely not least is one of the scariest Roblox games of all time: Piggy. Itmay not sound like a terrifying horror game, but don’t be fooled by its innocent title; this Roblox experience is not for the faint of heart.

Piggy’s gameplay includes a staggering number of immersive options, including playing the role of “survivor” to escape the lurking horrors, or playing the part of Piggy herself, slaughtering anyone and everyone in your way. As Piggy, players can set traps and hunt players down, preventing them from escaping at all costs. As survivors, players can look for items and keys to open doors and plot how to escape Piggy’s terrible clutches. It may sound similar in its gameplay to other games on this list, but the terrifying atmosphere makes Piggy stand out from its contemporaries.

And that’s it for our creepily curated list of all the scariest games on Roblox! For more recommendations, guides, codes, and all of the latest content on Roblox, stay tuned for more on Twinfinite.
