If you’re bored of Monopoly and seeking something a little darker then simulated capitalism, you might be interested in the following seven paranormal games. Based on old rituals to summon the dead and Gods of old, each one comes with dire warnings to those daring enough to play not to do so, because with these games you’ll be pitted against the dead and in some cases evil itself. While skeptics say they are simply works of fiction, shared as urban legends on the internet ask yourself is it worth the risk?

Even if you don’t believe in the paranormal we recommend taking these games absolutely seriously. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

1. The Midnight Game

The Midnight Game is said to be an ancient Pagan ritual that was used as a punishment for those who disobeyed the Gods. It involves summoning the Midnight Man and avoiding him from midnight until 3:33am. Anyone who has played this game advises against it, as most of them have walked away with long-lasting mental trauma at best. This game has one of the highest stakes of any on this list, so if the rest of these aren’t terrifying enough for you, take a look and see what’s involved with summoning the Midnight Man.

To play the game you’ll need the following; a candle, matches, salt, paper and pen, a wooden door and lastly a drop of your own blood. To invite the Midnight Man into your home write down your name and add the drop of blood to the piece of paper. Now turn off every light in the house and place the lit candle and the paper in front of a wooden door. Knock on the door 22 times with the final knock when the clock chimes 12am. Open the door and then blow out the candle and close the door again. Relight your candle immediately. With that the game has started, you have until 3:33am to avoid the Shadow Man as he hunts for you in the dark.

Signs he is near include; whispering sounds, drops in temperature and most importantly the candle flickering or going out. If it does you must re-light it within 10 seconds and then surround yourself in a salt circle which you must remain in until the game ends at 3:33am. But what happens if he catches you? Well, according to those that have played he’ll either trap you inside a hallucination of your worst fear or rip out your internal organs one by one. So whatever you do, don’t get caught, actually, it’s probably best if you don’t play this game at all. You have been warned.

2. Three Kings

The Three Kings game comes to us from the always unsettling NoSleep Subreddit. In order to participate, you need to set up two mirrors that face each other with a chair placed in the middle. Lastly, you’ll need a lit candle. The chair is your “throne,” making you the King; the mirrors are your Queen and your Fool, although you may know not which is which. At exactly 3:30 AM, you are to sit on the chair with the candle lit, facing a mirror. Hold the candle and stare into the darkness: the game has begun. The purpose of this game is to transport your consciousness to another dimension.

Many players have reported having conversations with themselves in an honest and introspective manner. They gain the ability to look at their past and present through a new set of eyes. Others have claimed that this is a ritual that will induce a lucid dream. Either way, if you’re interested in staying up all night meditating, this may be the game for you. Just remember whatever secrets you may learn will stay with you long after the game has ended, be they good or bad.
