4 Scary Games You Can Play at Night

Maybe it's just your eyes playing tricks on you, or maybe it's something else.

4 Scary Games You Can Play at Night

Remember being ten years old and trying to be cool around your friends at a sleepover when you suggested that you guys should try to conjure Bloody Mary or The Boogeyman, only to end up freaking out and calling your mom to take you home? Well, in honor of nostalgia, I've found some creepy games that you can play by yourself, or with friends, in case you still want to be cool or just love adrenaline rushes. WARNING: PLAY THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. They have been ranked from least to most scary (according to me, anyway). Have fun!

1. Doors of Your Mind

This game seems harmless enough. All you really have to do is sit in a room by yourself, close your eyes, and imagine your mind as a corridor full of doorways. You choose which doors to open, but be careful - some doors can contain bad energies and trap you in them. I think this game is just scary because it allows you to go through every crevice of your mind, even ones that you wanted to keep away forever.

2. The Answer Man

Traditionally, this game is played with ten people. But not everyone knows ten people so I'm sure this game would work with any even number of people (that's 2, 4, 6, etc.). Each of you will need to call the person to your left - but you have to make sure you all hit the call button at the same time, or else the game will fail. If you all get a busy signal, the game is over. But, if one person doesn't receive a busy signal, then they get to talk to the Answer Man. They can ask the Answer Man any question they want, and the Answer Man will ask a question back that the person has to answer. This can last as long as the person wants, but when the call is at its end the person needs to tell the Answer Man that he has to go and keep being persistent. IF THE ANSWER MAN TRIES TO BRIBE THE CALLER WITH FREE INFORMATION, DO NOT STAY ON THE LINE.

3. Three Kings

In a dim-lit room, place two mirrors on two chairs facing each other, and a chair in between the two, facing one of the mirrors. The third chair is your throne, making you the king. One of the mirrors is your Queen and the other is your Fool. But remember, the game is called Three Kings, which means that you're a Fool to one of them, and a Queen to the other. The idea of this game is to reach the "Shadowside", whatever that is. Maybe it's just mediation, or maybe it's something a little darker. But maybe it's just your eyes playing tricks on you.

4. One Person Hide and Seek

I'm not sure why anyone would play this game, as it is the creepiest one I could find. This is a single player game, unless you count a doll/stuffed animal as a player. You set up a doll or stuffed animal somewhere and you have to find it. But after you find it, it has to find you. If it doesn't find you and you can avoid the doll/stuffed animal, you have to find it to end the game. Be warned though, you might not find the doll where you left it.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
