18 Rainbow Friends

Survive A Fieldtrip Gone Wrong

Everyone's worst nightmare: a field trip gone wrong with horrible monsters. They might have big, smiling faces, but these characters are not your friends. Best enjoyed in the dark with your headphones on, Rainbow Friends is also an absolute blast to play with a small group of pals.

Can you survive the onslaught? Will you manage to escape from the field trip in one piece? You'll have to play to find out.

17 Elmira

Story-Based Hospital Horror

Elmira is a story-based Roblox horror game with two chapters that have already been released. The premise is simple: you're on a school trip, and you fall asleep on the bus. Once you wake up, you are the only person left, it's nighttime, and there's a spooky hospital on the horizon.

Inspired by other popular horror stories and games, Elmira is a fantastically horrible experience best enjoyed in the pitch black with a pair of headphones on!

16 Evade

Extreme Hide And Seek

One of the most popular Roblox games of all time, Evade is an absolute horror fest! You'll need to escape and hide from a range of horrible characters, from a spooky Spongebob to a horrific Slenderman.

If you're picked, you can also play as these characters and chase other players down. Escape, or kill lots of players, and you'll be able to unlock new characters and cosmetics in the game. Best enjoyed with a group of friends - can you evade the horrors?

15 DOORS

Best Enjoyed During Halloween

Doors is a Roblox sensation - a brilliantly designed horror game with puzzles, ongoing challenges, and plenty of spooky fun to be had with your friends! It's one of the spookiest horror games we've seen for ages, and we won't spoil it any further except by telling you to go and play it.

Lights off, headphones on. You won't regret it. This adventure is perfectly timed to be enjoyed during Halloween.

14 PANIK

Panic At The Supermarket

Panik is a heart-thumping escape-the-evil-robot game played in a dark, spooky supermarket. Your task is to collect as many of the useful supermarket items as possible (you have a shopping list to work from!) while being hunted by a robot that has malfunctioned and wants to turn you into Roblox-character rice pudding.

There are cosmetics, new maps, and more, in what is one of the most adrenaline-pumping games on this list. Hold it together and try to escape the supermarket!

13 3008

Build And Survive In An Infinite IKEA

3008 is the most popular Roblox horror game by some margin. It's an SCP game, which is based on the classic game SCP - Containment Breach. You are inside an infinite IKEA - yes, that already sounds horrifying, but there are other challenges you'll face during your time in the dark.

The best part of the game is being able to pick up pretty much everything and build an entirely custom area! Build a base, try to find other players, and, most importantly, survive.

12 Piggy

Don't Let Piggy Catch You

Another Roblox classic, Piggy has been featured on several versions of our favorite Roblox horror games list. This is a brilliant game because it is so simple. You have a limited time to escape Piggy's grasp.

The pig is always hunting. It is always chasing. Join up with your friends (it's one of our favorite games to play with pals) and see if you can escape. Good luck out there!

11 The Mimic

No Shortage Of Jump Scares

The Mimic is really quite scary. You'll join up with a small team to tackle the various chapters, and you're going to have to look out for each other because it's dark and spooky out there.

The jumpscares are not for the fainthearted. We also recommend you wear headphones while playing for the extra scariness.

10 Cheese Escape

Hunted By A Rat In A Maze

Cheese Escape is a pretty ridiculous Roblox game, but it's quite popular right now. The aim is to escape from a horrifying rat that chases you around a world of cheese.

It's pretty silly, but there's something about that rat's evil eyes that is pretty unsettling. Long dark corridors of cheese.

9 Apeirophobia

An Escape Room Not For The Feint Of Heart

Apeirophobia means a 'fear of infinity', which is what you'll face in this endless Roblox game of dark rooms and complex puzzles. It's essentially a team-based escape room game, but there are creepy monsters and jump scares along the way.

Other warnings include flashing lights, strong images, and gore, so it's definitely not for the easily scared. The game is still currently in Alpha testing, but it's still worth the experience.

8 Break In

From Bright And Cheery To Dark And Dreary

Break In is a story-driven horror game where you start out in the back of a moving truck - it's moving day, and you're off to a brand-new home! You'll join up with a bunch of different players that have either chosen to be a kid or an adult, and the game will change in difficulty depending on what you choose.

Although the game starts out bright and jolly, things quickly turn to the more horrific side. It's a dark house, empty and scary. Bring your friends for this one! Check out the game here.

7 SCP Games And SCP Monsters

Contain Or Be Contained

SCP games are all the rage on Roblox, and they have been for quite some time. This game gets straight to the point with a bunch of scary SCP rooms and monsters. It's one of the original Roblox SCP games and remains one of the most popular to this day.

You can even become your very own SCP monster in this game. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of horror or the genre!

6 Spider

Outrun Your Arachnophobia

Warning: do not play games if you do not like spiders. Okay, now that's out the way, this game is extremely simple and yet still completely terrifying because it's a giant spider!

We won't spoil much more about this game, but just know that you'll need to get your speedy kicks on to outrun this spider. Scary, but if you play with your friends, it actually gets pretty funny.

5 Breaking Point

A Werewolf-Themed Battle Royale

Breaking Point is a 'werewolf' game where the players are all trying to get each other out. The last person standing on the table is the victor!

It's a spooky game of social deception and one of our favorites to enjoy with randoms or with friends.

4 Dead Silence

Investigate A Legend

Even the name of this Roblox game is scary. In Dead Silence, you will become an investigator, looking into the legend of Mary S. While this may sound simple, many people consider this one of the scariest games on Roblox.

You don't have to explore alone though, as you will able to bring along three other willing souls.

3 Slumber Party Story

A Short Horror Sleepover

Slumber Party Story sounds innocent enough, right? Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you like the fright), Slumber Party Story is anything but relaxing. This game is short, coming in at around ten minutes, but you are in for a ride.

After a "long party night", you take your friend home, but they want you to stay over. What will await you in their strange neighborhood?

2 The True Backrooms: Renovated

Escape From An Endless Maze

The Backrooms are a bit of an urban legend. They are essentially an office-style liminal space where you lose all sense of reality. It's only fitting that a scary Roblox game occurs here.

In The True Backrooms: Renovated, you and a group of friends will need to escape from the seemingly endless maze of rooms that back up the Backrooms.

1 Pinstripe Murders

Escape A Murderous Clown

Lastly, we have Pinstripe Murders. This horror game takes place in a large hotel, where you are fleeing for your life from a pinstripe-wearing clown who could be Slenderman's cousin.

Pinstripe Murders has a unique art style that isn't present in many other Roblox games and has music that can range from soothing to terrifying.
