HALLOWEEN season may be over for another year, but there’s still time for you and your friends to get a fright via Roblox.
The online gaming platform, which was launched in 2006, allows for fan created content and here is our definitive list of the most ‘scary’ games available to you now.
What are the best scary games?
Dead Silence
Based on the 2007 film, this fan-favourite sees you discover a body next to a ventriloquist doll, with the only clue a note reading “Mary Shaw”.
One of the few first-person scary games on this list, Dead Silence offers a cinema-level narrative as you unravel the mystery.
Breaking Point
Although once banned, Breaking Point is one of the most popular games on the platform.
The aim is to be the last person standing in a murder mystery type experience.
Alone in a Dark House
The user is placed alone in a dark house and asked to collect clues in order to hunt down a murderer.
Complete with a number of multiple endings, this game can be played with up to 20 others people!
However, for the most immersive experience, it’s best played on its own.
The Mimic
Plunged into a horror filled high school, this game encourages you to search for a group of your missing friends.
It can be played with up to 10 people, and is full of spooky audio effects, lighting, and jump scares.
Murder Mystery 2
Murder Mystery 2 is another hugely popular game on the platform – having been played a staggering four billion times.
Bringing to life the classic genre, 12 players work together in order to catch the culprit.
Each game also has one sheriff, who’s in charge of eliminating the murderer.
Finders Keepers
Framed as a first-person shooter survival horror game, users are tasked with investigating the strange events that have been occurring at a creepy house.
Whilst navigating dark rooms and avoiding demonic entities, the goal is to find out the truth behind the powers that have led to the occupant’s disappearance.
Bear Alpha
Taking bear attacks to a new level, this game is simply attack versus defence.
One user plays as a killer bear – whose task is to eliminate other players within five minutes.
The bear is able to move slightly faster then his competitors, but the survivors are given weapons to fight back.
Advice for parents
Parents who are concerned that their kids may stumble across one of these games can take a hands-on approach with the use of customisable controls.
These give you the option to limit of disable online chat, as well as restricting access to age appropriate games.
And if you want to keep an even closer eye on what’s going on when your kids are roaming around in Roblox, you can monitor account activity.
It’s also recommended that read up on the parental guidance for the Talent Hub if your kids are interested in the more creative side of Roblox.
