15 Scary Roblox Games to Play With Friends

On a night when my friends and I are looking for something to do, it isn't long before someone in the group suggests hopping on Roblox and playing a horror game together. After trying and testing the horror hits and misses, we've curated a solid lineup of options to play! In the guide below, I'll list the 15 best Roblox horror games I like to play with my friends, and hopefully, you'll find some you like too.

Best Roblox Horror Games to Play With Friends

The Mimic

It's not very often that truly terrifying experiences are uploaded to Roblox, so when The Mimic grew to massive popularity, it made perfect sense. With chillingly realistic sound design, multiple thought-out chapters, a map massive enough to make you feel insignificant, and plenty of jump scares, The Mimic stands far above many other horror experiences on the platform and should be played by any fan of the genre. The person standing behind you right now thinks so too!

Apeirophobia

Similar to the fan-favorite Roblox experience mentioned above, The Mimic, Apeirophobia requires players to explore unsettling levels, complete various tasks, and ultimately reach the exit all while evading exceptionally chilling monsters. Luckily, you're allowed to venture these endless backrooms with friends, which makes the whole "running for your life" situation even a smidge better!

DOORS

Following the success of The Mimic and Apeirophobia, another horror/survival-style experience joined the Roblox platform—DOORS. In this experience, players must maneuver throughout, and ultimately escape, a haunted hotel by sneaking, sprinting, solving puzzles, and, most importantly, evading various types of monsters. While many players may view this experience as overrated, I think it deserves the hype it's received! Not only does DOORS offer some fun scares, it's also just a well-developed and clean-looking experience.

3008

Are you looking to get your heart pumping? Do you enjoy the thrill of survival? Then 3008 is the experience for you! Not only does 3008 offer solid scares, it also features a day-and-night survival system that requires players to monitor their energy, stock up on food and water, properly make use of medkits, build strong and reliable bases, and work together with friends and strangers...if they so choose. When you're in a constant state of looking over your shoulder, you never know who you can really trust.

Piggy

Looking for a creepy, story-driven puzzle adventure to tackle with friends? Piggy is the ultimate blend of suspense and teamwork! One player steps into the menacing shoes of Piggy, hunting the others as they race to unravel the game’s eerie backstory. Or if you’re looking for a more cooperative experience, swap Piggy in with a bot and dive into an unforgettable co-op experience, solving intricate puzzles and piecing together the mystery across multiple gripping chapters. With its blend of strategy, suspense, and storytelling, Piggy guarantees a heart-pounding good time for your group!

Rainbow Friends

Step aboard a one-way ticket to Odd World, where survival is the name of the game! In Rainbow Friends, you and your crew must brave a series of eerie nights, completing tasks while staying out of sight of the sinister Rainbow Friends. Each encounter amps up the tension as you scramble to avoid their grasp, all while you and your friends collaborate to overcome new challenges. The mix of suspenseful atmospheres, sudden chases, and the constant thrill of the unknown makes this game a perfect pick for a night of chaotic fun with friends. Just remember: stick together, stay alert, and don’t let them spot you!

Survive the Killer

Survive the Killer, similar to Piggy or Banana Eats (which are also fun horror experiences!), is a short-form, horror-survival experience that randomly selects one player to be a killer each round, and then traps all other players with said killer and requires them to run, hide, solve puzzles, and work together with those in their server to escape. While this experience doesn't have the classic "jump scare" scary elements, it can still definitely get your heart pumping and be a ton of fun to play with friends.

Scary Sushi

What if your favorite cooking chaos games, like Overcooked or Plate Up!, came with a terrifying twist? That’s Scary Sushi. You and your friends must gather ingredients, prepare sushi dishes, and keep the orders coming — all while dodging the terrifying monsters lurking in the shadows. The pressure is on as you race against time and terror to uncover the dark secret behind Moonlight Sushi. Can your team handle the heat in the kitchen while surviving the backroom nightmare? Scary Sushi blends fast-paced teamwork with spine-tingling thrills, making it a must-try for horror and cooking fans alike!

Specter

Inspired by the hit horror game Phasmophobia, Specter lets you and up to three friends dive into the ultimate ghost-hunting challenge. Armed with your wits and a handful of tools, your team must uncover clues, piece together the mystery, and figure out exactly what kind of ghost you’re dealing with — before it hunts you! With a wide selection of eerie atmospheres and grueling ghosts, Specter is perfect for mystery lovers craving a good scare. Gather your bravest friends and see if you can survive the haunt!

Identity Fraud

For a true Roblox horror classic, look no further than Identity Fraud. As one of the platform’s longest-standing horror games, its enduring popularity is a testament to its well-crafted formula. You and your friends will navigate through unsettling mazes, dodge lurking dangers, and unravel the dark secrets of the protagonist’s mysterious condition. With its creepy atmosphere and unsettling narrative, Identity Fraud is a must-play for fans of suspense and survival. Can your group outwit the shadows and make it out alive?

Short Creepy Stories

When I say that this is one of the scariest Roblox experiences I've ever played, if not the scariest, I mean it! If you're anything like me, chances are you'd randomly stumble across this experience while looking for something to play with your friends, you'd say screw it and give it a try (even though you think it looks pretty meh), and then not even five minutes into your first play through you'd have your eyes mostly closed and would be regretting your decision to even click on it. There's not much I can say about Short Creepy Stories that won't spoil it; it's something you just have to try it for yourself. If you're looking for a really solid and creepy, psychological-horror style experience, this is one you have to try.

Radiant Residents

In Radiant Residents, you and your friends must band together and survive as a nuclear war breaks out around you. You're tasked with collecting materials, assigning roles, avoiding enemies, and, of course, staying alive, for upwards of 50 nights. Throughout the days in your bunker, you and your group of survivors will encounter random events, which keep the experience interesting and can make for some pretty hilarious/and or scary moments!

Residence Massacre

If you enjoy experiences that challenge you to survive and use some sort of strategy, and you love screaming and laughing with your friends, Residence Massacre could be a great experience for you to check out. In this experience, you and a group of your roommates are tasked with surviving a night in your house by keeping lights on, oxygen-filled, and windows intact—seems simple enough, right? Throw a killer monster into the mix and things suddenly become a lot more interesting!

BEAR

One of the more fun experiences on this list, BEAR is a one-versus-all escape-the-enemy experience where one player in the server is turned into Bear, and the other nine players must escape and defeat them. Surprisingly terrifying, Bear is fast, loud, and has a horrifying jump scare screen, so don't go into this experience expecting a simple kid's game—rookie mistake! Players can also customize their Bear skin that appears when they're chosen to transform, and we'll just say that some of them do not resemble cute and fluffy teddy bears!

Forgotten Memories

Forgotten Memories brings the beloved characters from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to Roblox, and they're just as revenge-hungry over here! In this experience, just like normal FNaF, you must manage cameras, power, and general security work to ensure that nothing strange happens while you're on the clock. Unlike normal FNaF, however, you can work with a team in this experience, meaning you don't have to face the nights alone! You also have free range to explore the entire map...which means an entire map full of chances for you and your team to get attacked—wins and losses amirite?
