The Scariest Roblox Games in 2021

1. Dead Silence

Long been considered to be one of the scariest Roblox games, Dead Silence is a creepy and breathtaking experience. Based on the horror film of the same name, Dead Silence puts you in the shoes of an investigator. Your job is to investigate the disappearance of Mary Shaw, a murdered ventriloquist who supposedly haunts the local town. 

2. Alone in a Dark House

Another exploration-based horror game for Roblox, Alone in a dark house combines story elements and walking mechanics with a lot of scares. Set in August 1996, the game makes you a private investigator who travels to a small town. Your focus is a brutal vehicle murder and your journey will take you to a big house that contains a multitude of secrets.

The Mimic is one of the most terrifying horror Roblox games we have come across. Featuring either single-player or multiplayer, the game is a horror adventure created across different chapters. The Mimic has been created from four different stories of Japanese history and urban legends with a twist. 

Get The Mimic

If you like horror games that have urban legends baked right in, Geisha will serve perfectly for your Roblox adventures. Based on the urban legend of “Teke-Take”, Geisha takes you back to your childhood although we wager it wasn’t as horrifying as the game will be. Upon returning you find that your family is nowhere to be found leaving you confused.

Finders Keepers is another awesome title on this list of Roblox scary games, and it will make you work for the scares. You are once again an investigator although this time your specialty is the paranormal world. Tasked with investigating strange events at a family house, you need to figure out how the family disappeared by solving clues.

These clues will come in the form of various hidden dark rooms and the pursuit of disks that you must gather. However, be careful as the disks contain a demonic entity that will hunt you down. Full of scary jumpscares and scary sounds, Finders Keepers is an amazing horror mystery game. 

Fair warning with this scary Roblox, you might feel claustrophobic while playing the game and that means it’s working.  Much like the name, the game locks you in an underground maze that you must get out of. All you have for help is a flashlight with a limited battery and a camera. 

7. Survive the Killer!

If you’ve played games like Friday the 13th you already know what Survive the Killer is about. This popular Roblox horror game gives players the option to become either survivors or killers. As a Survivor, you must run and hide from the killer that is out to get you and your friends. You can either hide alone or party up with friends and escape together.

No horror game list is complete without Zombies and you’ll love knowing the Roblox has a few of them too. Zombie Attack is a wave-based zombie shooting Robox game where you and your friends can team up together.

This scary Roblox game is another one that is based on a popular urban legend. Focusing on the horrific Slender Man, this horror game in Roblox tasks citizens (players) with finding all the eight hidden pages that have been scattered around the area. However, you’re not alone as the Slender Man himself is after you acting like a ticking time bomb.

One of my biggest fears in the horror genre is Mirrors and the scary possibilities they present. The Mirror is based on that exact phenomenon and takes place in an underground place full of mirrors. As the player, you must navigate through the place and discover these various mirrors.

However, the mirrors hide much more than just your reflection. The Mirror is a Roblox horror game that is full of jumpscares at any turn and creepy noises all around. While you can play this horror game with friends, the best experience will be enjoyed alone if you want to scare yourself the most. 

Featuring an abandoned hotel that was closed down due to multiple deaths caused by a collapse, the Imperial Hotel game is a Roblox horror that packs intense mysterious vibes. Based on exploration mechanics combined with horror, this Roblox game lets you explore a supposedly haunted hotel that is full of unexplained mysteries.

12. Murder Mystery 2

This multiplayer Roblox horror game will be loved by Trouble in Terrorist Town players and Among Us fans. Featuring the same mechanics but on a scarry map, Murder Mystery 2 divides the players into three different teams – Innocents, Sherrif, and Murderer. As the Innocents on the team, you must run and hide from the murderer while trying to work out who it can be.

Bear is one of the top scary Roblox games in which you might require teamwork to win. This 10 player survival horror game puts Roblox players on a common map. Out of the 10 players, one is Bear who is tasked with hunting and eliminating everyone. However, the rest of the players are not helpless.

Short for Secure, Contain and Protect, this Roblox horror game has an interesting story and roleplaying elements mixed into it. As part of the SCP world, the government funds the SCP foundation, which is in charge of protecting the world from various anomalous creatures.

The new Happy Oofday! is a remaster of the 2018 original that scared the Roblox community into playing it. The new revamped Oofday is a single-player oof themed horror Roblox game that has been divided into various chapters.

The released chapter one of Oofday focuses on a birthday party. Your friends have invited you to an abandoned yellow house to celebrate your birthday. However, none of you know that the house is haunted by oof, a yellow-looking malicious spirit. Featuring multiple endings that can take you anywhere, Happy Oofday is a funny-sounding yet horrifying game in Roblox.

The Rake is a horror game in Roblox inspired by a creepypasta character of the same name. This massively played survival horror game puts you on a map with The Rake, a grey humanoid creepypasta character who is not friendly at all.

17. Insane Elevator

This Roblox horror game is one that turns down the scares a little and so can be played by players of all ages. Insane Elevator makes players get in an elevator for a chance to win various rewards. However, with you are also various killers based on different movies and games including Pennywise the Clown, Sired Head, and even the Rake.

The Asylum is a scary Roblox game made by Eagle Studios, an independent company specializing in horror Roblox games. Divided into various chapters, The Asylum makes players explorers as they roam around this abandoned horrific institution and look to solve the mystery.

This popular R0blox horror game was banned at one point for being too scary but is now back and stronger than ever. Breaking Point is a murder mystery multiplayer game that seats various Roblox players around a single table to commence a game.

Ending things on a creepy note, Piggy is yet another eerie scary game you can get on Roblox. Piggy incorporates puzzle solving along with horror so you’re not only scared but also confused. To win Piggy, you can solve puzzles while evading the villain which is, you guessed it, Piggy.

Clocking over 9.1 billion player visits, Piggy is one of the most played and ever-expanding games that are regularly updated. The game series has been divided into books and chapters. At this time of writing this, Piggy is on Book 2, Chapter 11. Check out the latest Piggy scary horror games on Roblox and have fun.

When it comes to popularising the horror genre in recent days, the game Phasmophobia deserves major appreciation. Taking inspiration from that, we have Blair on Roblox. It offers us a multiplayer experience where you have to explore different maps and identify various types of ghosts.

22. The Darkness Beyond

Most scary games rely on the terrifying looks of the monsters to scare players. But what if you didn’t know what was after you? This Roblox game relies on the fear of darkness to scare players. You can play it in single-player mode or with your friends for higher stakes.

If you are looking for a good plot combined with creepy monsters, Judy is a great Roblox game that will haunt you at night. It begins innocently as a multiplayer investigative game where you and your friends have to explore a theme park from the 70s. But as mysteries start unfolding, you are exposed to the disappearance of Judy.

As its name tells, the Three Nightmares allows us to experience three unique horror stories within a single game. Each story is based on different locations, and all of them revolve around finding objects. The catch here is that there is almost no source of light except for the torch in your hand that you have to use to explore each map.

If exploring all of the scary horror games on our list feels like a tiring task, just go for Midnight Horrors on Roblox. It offers 450+ unique monsters who can ensure you don’t go for any other horror game anytime soon. From aliens ready to abduct you to Slender Man lurking in the woods, this game has fuel for all types of terrors.

If somehow, hundreds of scary creatures aren’t enough for you, the game also offers unique maps catering to each monster. So, it’s not only the creepy characters but also their environment that you have to defeat. As the developers describe it, Midnight Horrors is absolute chaos. But if you want to experience true horror, it’s a dreamland for you.
