Scary Maze Game

The classic maze prank. Guide your pointer along the blue path without touching the black walls. Levels 1 and 2 are easy. Level 3 is very narrow, so your victim leans in close and concentrates. Then the scare happens.

Warning: this game contains a sudden scary face and a loud scream. Don't use it on young children, anyone with a heart condition or anyone who is easily frightened.

On a phone or tablet, keep your finger on the screen the whole time. Lifting it counts as touching the wall.

How to prank someone with the scary maze

  1. Turn the volume up (not to maximum) and press Fullscreen.
  2. Hand it over with a challenge: "Bet you can't finish level 3."
  3. Level 3 is narrow on purpose. Most people lean towards the screen to concentrate. Halfway down, the face appears with a scream.
  4. Laugh together, then let them set it up for the next person.

Just want the maze?

Untick Jumpscare on level 3 and it becomes an ordinary steady-hand maze game, with no surprises. The history of the original game is in the scary maze game story.
