The “Midnight Game” is a ritual Horror game based on an ancient pagan ritual,
used primarily as a punishment for those who have violated the laws of the pagan
religion in question.
Materials.
You will need a candle, a sheet of paper, a writing implement, matches or a
lighter, salt, a wooden door, and at least one drop of your own blood. If you
are playing with others, each person will need their own set of the items
listed above and should follow the steps below accordingly.
Rules.
It must be exactly 12:00 a.m. when you begin the ritual. Otherwise, it won't
work.
Write your full name (first name, middle name, and last name) on the piece of
paper. Place at least one drop of blood on the paper. Let it soak into the
paper.
Turn off all the lights in the room where you're doing this. Go to your wooden
door and place the piece of paper with your name on it in front of the door.
Now, take out the candle and light it. Place it on top of the paper.
Knock on the door twenty-two times. The clock must strike 12:00 a.m. on the
last knock. Then, open the door, blow out the candle, and close the door. You
have just let the “Midnight Man” into your house.
Light your candle again right away.
This is where the game begins. Now you must sneak around your now completely
dark house, holding a lit candle in your hand. Your goal is to avoid the
Midnight Man at all costs until 3:33 a.m. If your candle ever goes out, it
means the Midnight Man is close by.
You must relight your candle within the next ten seconds.
If you are unable to do this, you should immediately surround yourself with a
circle of salt.
If you fail at both tasks, the Midnight Man will create a hallucination of
your greatest fear and rip out your organs one by one. You’ll feel it, but you
won’t be able to react.
If you succeed in creating the salt circle, you must remain there until 3:33
a.m.
If you manage to relight your candle, you can continue playing the game. You
must make it to 3:33 a.m. without being attacked by the Midnight Man or
getting trapped inside the salt circle to win the Midnight Game.
The Midnight Man will leave his house at 3:33 a.m. And he’ll be safe to go
about his routine.
Precautions.
Signs that you are near the Midnight Man include a sudden drop in temperature,
seeing a pitch-black humanoid figure in the darkness, and hearing faint
whispers coming from an indistinguishable source. If you experience any of
these, it is recommended that you leave the area to avoid the Midnight Man.
DO NOT turn on any of the lights during the Midnight Game.
DO NOT use a flashlight during the Midnight Game.
Don't fall asleep during the midnight game.
DO NOT try to use someone else's blood in your place.
DO NOT use a lighter as a substitute for a candle. It won't work.
AND DEFINITELY DO NOT try to provoke the Midnight Man IN ANY WAY.
Even when the game is over, it will always be watching you...
Good luck, you're going to need it.
