“The Midnight Game” is an old pagan ritual used mainly as punishment for those who have broken the laws of pagan religion in question. While it is mainly used as a scare tactic to not disobey the gods, there is still a very existence of death to those who play the Midnight Game and there is even a higher chance of permanent mental scarring. It is highly recommended that you DON’T PLAY THE MIDNIGHT GAME!
But, for those few thrill seekers searching for a rush or for those delving into the obscure occult rituals; these are the simple instructions on how to play. Do so at your own risk…
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prerequisites: It must be exactly 12:00AM when you begin performing the ritual, otherwise it will not work.
Materials required:
- Candle
- Wooden Door
- At least one drop of your blood
- Matches or a lighter
- Salt
If you are playing with multiple people they will need their own of the aforementioned materials and will have to perform the steps below separately.
Step 1: Write your full name (first, middle, and last) on a piece of paper a put at least one drop of your blood onto the paper. Allow it to soak into the paper.
Step 2: Turn off the lights in the house. Go to your front door, which must be wooden, and place the paper with your name in front of it. Now take the candle and light it. Place the candle on top of the paper with your name.
Step 3: Knock on your door 22 times (the hour MUST be 12:00AM upon the final knock), then open the door, blow out the candle, and close the door. You have just allowed the “Midnight Man” into your house.
Step 4: Immediately relight your candle.
THE GAME:
This is where the game begins. You must now lurk around your now-completely-dark-house with the lit candle in hand. Your goal is to avoid the “Midnight Man” at all costs until exactly 3:33AM. Should your candle ever go out, then that means the Midnight Man is near you. You must relight the candle within the next 10 seconds. If you are unsuccessful in relighting the candle, you must then immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt. If you are unsuccessful in both of these, the Midnight Man will then induce a hallucination of your greatest fear, which will last until 3:33AM. If you are successful in relighting the candle, then you may proceed. If you are creating the circle of salt, you must remain within the circle until 3:33AM. You must continue until 3:33AM without being attacked by the Midnight Man or being trapped within the circle of salt to win the Midnight Game. The Midnight Man will then leave at 3:33AM and you will be safe to proceed with your morning.
Addition: Indications that you are near the Midnight Man includes a sudden drop in temperature, seeing a pure black, humanoid figure through the darkness, and very soft whispering coming from an indiscernible source. If you experience any of these it is advised that you leave the area to avoid the Midnight Man.
Staying on one spot the entire game will only result in the Midnight Man finding you. It is highly advised you continue moving throughout the game.
DO NOT turn on any lights during the Midnight Game.
DO NOT use a flashlight during the Midnight Game.
DO NOT go to sleep during the Midnight Game.
DO NOT use another person’s blood on your name.
DO NOT use a lighter to substitute for a candle. It will not work.
AND DEFINITELY DO NOT attempt to provoke the Midnight Man in ANY WAY.
That is all. Have fun.
Could be just a harmless party game but just in case it’s not I’ll pass.
you can do this at exactly 6:00am. i tried it and the Early Morning Man came into my house. A warning though. do not try it at midday, i tried it and the Avon Lady came in. 5:00pm was worst, Jehovah Witness came in and they wont leave!
Couldnt agree more with teya. It hilarious thoe all the things ppl are saying. What if i bleed out trying to drop my blood on the paper?! what if my pen doesnt write at the moment?! what is my door burns down from the paper that i light right infront of it? thats my addition to the stupid questions lol
@jim I lol’d.
Don’t try this. I and two of my friends tried it 2 days ago. It was fine till aboutjust before 3. Then Jack and I heard some strange noise coming from a room. What flowed was a muffled scream… We both went there and saw Rachel fainted with her half complete circle of salt. We both swear there was someone else in the room! We held on tight both shit scared till 3:33 and then took Rachel to the hospital. Doc said she was subjected to extreme shock. Thank god she woke up fine, though she doesn’t remember what happened in the room. That’s it for me for one lifetime – I’m not attempting sit like this anymore.
lol.. I think it sounds like a blast since nearly all my friends are terrified females.
This sounds like it would be really scary, even if none of this stuff exists…I’d probably just freak myself out! Sounds like a great game, thanks for sharing it 😉
dude…I’m playing this game tonight….by myself!
@ Midnight Man and his wife and Jim: I laughed so hard at your comments. Thanks for the laugh! I just read the comments to see if anyone had anything actually ‘happen’ to them but I see that most people are just wasting their time bashing or hating on a game? Just don’t play it if you don’t believe in it or if you find it offensive. Ignore it. Stop taking things so seriously and Midnight Man, his wife, and Jim and I will play the game and have a nice dinner it looks like.
this would freak me out so bad. i wanna try it but id prob chicken out haha. i know its probably all in your head when playing it but still, your mind is a scary place. ah
