Best scary games on Roblox: How to play and parents’ guide to horror

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of pixel-pushing under my belt, I must say that this collection of Roblox games caters to a wide range of tastes and ages. If you’re looking for a chilling single-player experience, “The Mirror” is an intriguing choice, blending the eerie with the familiar in a unique way.


As Halloween approaches, you’ve got a fantastic chance to dive into some of Roblox’s most terrifying games!

Roblox is an innovative platform established back in 2006, empowering both players and creators to unleash their imagination and build unique games, resulting in some extraordinary game titles.

Whatever type of horror you’re into, you can guarantee that Roblox has it.

So, with that in mind, we’ve created an enormous list of games to play this Halloween.

Pressure

Labeled as a comical horror game, this production casts players in the role of a detainee traversing the ominous Hadal Blacksite locale. Along the journey, they must steer clear of numerous perils, and receive an initially puzzling warning: “You are disposable. Your return is not anticipated.

Doors

Previously, Doors clinched the Roblox Innovation Award. In this game, players navigate through a chilling hotel, unraveling mysteries and solving puzzles. The art style of this game is polished and glossy, enhancing the unexpectedly ominous ambiance it creates.

Blair

Following the theme of the ghost-chasing game Phasmophobia, Blair (a possible nod to The Blair Witch Project) is designed for a group of up to four participants. In this experience, each player explores various maps in an effort to distinguish among 15 distinct types of spectral entities. As you might guess, many of these ghostly beings are far from welcoming.

The Mimic

In my experience, The Mimic is rooted in ancient Japanese folklore, where it weaves together four chilling tales. As I navigate through this game, I step into the shoes of various characters, each offering a unique perspective. I traverse diverse landscapes, unravel intricate puzzles, and nimbly avoid enigmatic beasts lurking around every corner.

Heidi Klum’s Modelverse

This particular item stands out as something unique compared to other options here. It’s known as Modelverse, a creation by supermodel Heidi Klum and metaverse specialist Supersocial. The focus is on a fashion runway where participants design their most outstanding Halloween costumes, showcase them, and then cast votes for the best costume. Essentially, it’s a fun, spooky season endeavor.

Alone in a Dark House

This game puts you in a chilling scenario: all by yourself in a spooky mansion, gathering hints to track down a killer. With various conclusions, hidden treasures galore, and an authentic eerie ambiance, it stands on its own as an excellent choice. For the ultimate experience, play solo or, if necessary, team up with as many as 20 other players.

This game might be more suitable for older kids, such as teenagers and pre-teens, rather than younger children due to its intense nature.

Bear (Alpha)

In this game, a player takes on the role of a menacing killer bear that must eliminate other players within just five minutes. The bear has a slight speed advantage, but the survivors can arm themselves with weapons for self-defense. This ensures an engaging and balanced gameplay experience. However, due to its eerie environments and the aggressive nature of the killer bear, it is not recommended for young children who may still have a soft spot for their cuddly teddy bears.

Horror Elevator

Similar to The Cabin In The Woods, Horror Elevator immerses you in an elevator ride where it unexpectedly halts on various levels, presenting unique horrifying situations at each stop. This game is more suitable for mature audiences as the identity of the appearing monster remains a surprise each time.

Piggy

In this Peppa Pig-themed survival horror game, George Pig has vanished and it’s a puzzle figuring out what happened to him. You take on the role of an investigating police officer, but soon find yourself unconscious after encountering a pig. Upon awakening, you must rush to escape from a confined space before meeting your fate as a breakfast treat. To add to the chaos, a monster infiltrates the police station, leaving only you and Officer Doggy to survive the ensuing horror.

Dead Silence

From the 2007 movie, this well-loved title puts you in the position of finding a corpse near a ventriloquist puppet, with only a note saying “Mary Shaw” as your initial clue. Being one of the first-person horror games on this list, Dead Silence delivers a cinematic storyline as you piece together the puzzle. This game might be more suitable for mature audiences due to its somewhat graphic depiction of violence.

Breaking Point

At one point, Breaking Point, currently among the most played games on Roblox, was completely outlawed. This game involves surviving as the last person standing in a murder-mystery scenario, and surprisingly, it has become much more engrossing than we initially anticipated.

Play Breaking Point now

The Mirror

It may be single-player, but is all the scarier for it. The Mirror sees you completing an obstacle course with nothing but your own reflection. Is your mind playing tricks on you or is it the mirror? We’d say this one is fine for all ages, but just the right amount of spooky.

Play The Mirror now

A Wolf or Other

Just like the well-known Mafia game, A Wolf or Other places you in one of three groups: innocents, hunters, or werewolves. The innocents aim to identify the werewolf, allowing the hunter to eliminate them before the moon turns full and it’s too late. This game is more about social gatherings than pure horror, making it suitable for younger players.

Murder Mystery 2

Instead of focusing on werewolves like A Wolf or Other, Murder Mystery is based on the concept of an old-fashioned murderer in a classic dinner party setting, similar to the mafia game. Like Among Us, the objective is to identify the murderer among the innocent participants. The game offers three modes: Casual, Hardcore, and Assassin for those who enjoy a challenging experience. Unlike its supernatural counterparts, this game contains no supernatural elements, making it more suitable for younger audiences.

Zombie Attack

Essentially, Zombie Attack is similar to a kid-friendly version of Call of Duty: Zombies. In this game, you’ll battle progressively harder zombie hordes and gain access to superior weapons as you advance. However, it offers some unique twists such as the option to come back as a zombie if your character dies. Despite its fun gameplay, it should be noted that the graphics aren’t overly realistic, making it suitable for slightly older children.

Nightmare Mines

In Nightmare Mines, you’ll face waves of zombies along with challenging puzzles, offering a distinctive chilling adventure. It’s not excessively frightening, making it suitable for many family members. Can you survive the Nightmare Mines? The answer lies in playing it.

Project Lazarus: Zombies

This game pays tribute to Call of Duty: Zombies, featuring a survival mode where you progress through rounds, setting up barricades, using power-ups, and earning points to purchase weapons and defensive structures. Since it includes some gory effects, it might be more appropriate for older children; they might prefer the game called “Zombie Attack”.
