Scary Maze Game

Uncommon card · No. 167310

The Maze, better known colloquially as Scary Maze Game, is a 2003 horror Flash game created by developer Jeremy Winterrowd. In it, players must navigate through three mazes with their mouse. At the end of the game, the player is jump scared by a photo of Regan MacNeil, a possessed character from the 1973 horror film The Exorcist, before being able to complete the third level. Scary Maze Game went viral online in the 2000s and early 2010s, largely due to reaction videos of children being pranked by the game, which were also featured on various clip shows and parodied on Saturday Night Live. It has been described as one of the earliest "Internet screamers" and a progenitor of jump scare–based horror games.
