Roblox might look cute on the surface, but there are some seriously creepy games hiding in there. Whether you’re into ghost stories, eerie vibes, or just want to freak out your friends with a haunted maze, there’s plenty to choose from.
This list rounds up the creepiest Roblox games — some are actually scary, some are just weird, and a few are straight-up chaotic in the best way. If you’re not sure where to start or just want something spooky to play, I’ve got you.
Apeirophobia
If you’re into eerie mazes and the unsettling vibe of liminal spaces, Apeirophobia is a must-try. Inspired by the Backrooms creepypasta, this game drops you into endless, maze-like levels where you’re constantly being watched—and not by anything friendly.
Chapter 1 is a strong start: it’s tense, creepy, and has just the right amount of “what was that noise?” energy. Chapter 2, though, kind of slows things down. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t hit quite as hard in terms of pacing or scares.
Each level presents its own set of challenges, from solving puzzles to evading entities that are definitely not there to help. Whether you’re playing solo or with friends, Apeirophobia offers a unique horror experience that keeps you on edge.
Doors
This one’s simple: open doors, try not to die. Doors drops you in a creepy hotel full of—you guessed it—doors, and behind a lot of them are things you probably don’t want to meet.
The game’s got a fun mix of puzzle-solving and panic. You move room by room, trying to make it to door 100 while dodging weird entities like Rush, Screech, and others with names that sound friendly but definitely aren’t. Each one has its own “tell,” so part of the challenge is learning when to hide, when to run, and when to just not move at all.
It’s surprisingly well-paced, with solid atmosphere and just enough randomness to keep things interesting on repeat runs. You can play solo or with a group, but let’s be real—watching your friends get jump-scared is half the fun.
The Mimic
The Mimic is one of those Roblox horror games that actually feels like a horror game. It leans heavily into Japanese folklore, with each “book” telling a different story full of creepy spirits, cursed families, and unsettling environments. You’ll explore abandoned schools, haunted forests, and other places that make you question your life choices.
The game is split into four books — Control, Jealousy, Rebirth, and Rage — each with its own protagonist and antagonist. The storytelling is solid, and the atmosphere is genuinely eerie. It’s best played with friends, but if you’re feeling brave, solo is an option too.
Dead Silence
Want a Roblox horror game that doesn’t mess around? Dead Silence is it. This one’s got a creepy ventriloquist, a haunted house, and a lot of “why did I agree to play this” moments.
You’ll be investigating the eerie legend of Mary Shaw, and trust me, it gets under your skin. You’ll explore dark, abandoned places, solve puzzles, and dodge jump scares that hit just right. The whole thing has this heavy, tense vibe — you’re constantly waiting for something to jump out at you.
It’s built for solo play or with friends, and whether you’re tackling it alone or with a squad, Dead Silence will definitely keep you on edge. It’s been around for a while, but it still delivers one of the scariest experiences you’ll find on Roblox.
Roses
Roses is one of those Roblox horror games that tries to be cinematic — and honestly, it kind of nails it. You play as a guy looking for his friend Max, who disappeared while filming in an abandoned asylum. Because of course he did.
The visuals are surprisingly good for Roblox, and the whole game leans hard into creepy atmosphere and storytelling. There’s voice acting, eerie music, and some genuinely unsettling moments. It’s more about mood and mystery than nonstop jump scares, which honestly makes it stand out.
It’s a short game, and pretty linear, so don’t expect a ton of replay value. But if you’re into story-driven horror and want something that feels more like an interactive movie than a typical Roblox experience, Roses is worth checking out.
Petapeta
Petapeta is one of those creepy Roblox games that doesn’t look like much at first — but give it five minutes, and it becomes truly terrifying. Set in an abandoned Japanese hotel, you’re being hunted by a terrifying creature named Petapeta who really doesn’t want you snooping around.
The game’s split into phases, each with new objectives and increasingly aggressive behavior from Petapeta. You’ll be solving puzzles, collecting keys and ofuda (those paper charms), and using things like party poppers to stun her.
The pacing ramps up nicely, but it can start to feel a little repetitive after a while. Still, the vibes are spot on — moody lighting, creepy sounds, and that constant sense of “please don’t be behind me.”
The Rake
The Rake is one of those Roblox horror games that keeps it simple: survive the night while a terrifying creature hunts you down. Set in a dark forest, you and up to seven other players must avoid the Rake — a pale, long-limbed humanoid with glowing eyes and a penchant for sudden, lethal appearances.
Each night lasts about eight minutes, and during that time, you’ll be scavenging for items, finding safe spots, and trying not to get caught. The game ramps up the tension with “Blood Hour,” a random event where the Rake becomes faster and more aggressive, turning an already stressful situation into pure chaos.
The gameplay is straightforward, but the atmosphere and jump scares keep things intense. It’s best played with friends, as coordinating and sharing resources can mean the difference between survival and a quick demise.
Identity Fraud
Identity Fraud starts out like a simple maze game — until something starts following you. And then it just gets weirder. You’re dropped into a series of increasingly creepy mazes filled with puzzles, unsettling NPCs, and monsters that absolutely do not want you to make it out alive.
There’s no tutorial, no hand-holding — just trial, error, and occasional panic. You’ll run into creatures like Ralph (who stares into your soul), Stan (who’s basically nightmare fuel), and others that have specific rules for avoiding them… which you’ll probably learn the hard way.
It’s surprisingly puzzle-heavy too. You’re not just running and hiding; you’re solving codes, decoding clues, and trying to survive long enough to reach the final boss and it involves a rocket launcher. Because, sure, why not?
Identity Fraud is best played with friends, especially when you need someone else to walk into danger first. But if you’re up for a solo challenge full of creepy vibes and legit jump scares, this one delivers.
Pressure
Pressure is like Doors’ darker, grittier cousin. You’re tossed into the Hadal Blacksite as an “Expendable” (yes, that’s exactly as sketchy as it sounds), and your goal is to make it through 115 rooms without getting eaten, crushed, or completely psychologically wrecked.
Each room brings new challenges: traps, puzzles, and a whole roster of unsettling creatures like the Angler and Pandemonium. They’re not just there to jump-scare you, either. You’ve got to learn their behaviors and play smart, or it’s game over fast.
There’s a decent chunk of lore if you’re into that, and a mysterious guy named Sebastian who sells items and occasionally drops cryptic dialogue. The vibes are eerie in the best way — flickering lights, creepy noises, and all that.
It’s a tough game, no doubt, but that just makes surviving feel that much more satisfying. Way more fun (and slightly less terrifying) with friends.
Light Bulb
Light Bulb is a creepy, psychological horror game that drops you into a dark maze where your only chance of survival is keeping the lights on. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. There’s a Seeker lurking in the shadows, and if you slip up, it’s game over.
You’ll need to manage your light sources, solve puzzles, and avoid getting caught. The atmosphere is tense, with eerie sounds and visuals that keep you on edge.
With multiple endings, Light Bulb keeps things interesting. You can escape — if you’re lucky — or face a much darker fate. It’s a great pick for fans of horror games that mix clever mechanics with a chilling story.
It Lurks
It Lurks starts off pretty chill — just another night in your bedroom with your dad telling you to go to bed before 10 PM. But, of course, things don’t stay calm for long. When the clock strikes midnight, the creepy stuff begins.
You’ll notice footprints leading to the basement, alarms going off, and a sense of dread creeping in as you try to figure out what’s happening. The game takes a sharp turn when you hear a creepy warning to stay quiet and lock the doors. But, spoiler alert — ignore that advice and you’ll meet The Smiling Man, who’s more than happy to make your night a little less peaceful.
The game’s split into chapters, each introducing new scares, weird happenings, and things that just shouldn’t be in your house. It’s a solid pick for those who like their horror games with a steady build-up and creepy surprises at every turn.
