Bloody Mary is a scary game based on a deeply rooted old urban legend. Players must try to invoke the spirit of the ghost of Blood Mary in front of the mirror. All you need to play, besides a mirror in a closed room (for example the one in the bathroom), is a candle. For maximum fun, throw a sleepover with friends and tell each other what you saw in the mirror. Don't forget to turn off all the lights!
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Play Bloody Mary
Step 1. Decide who will be the first to summon the Bloody Mary
If there are no volunteers, choose a way to decide who should start. You can flip a coin, count or play Chinese morra (commonly known as "rock-paper-scissors"). Whoever loses, will enter the bathroom first.
Step 2. Go into the bathroom when it's your turn and turn off all the lights
Close the door behind you to be completely in the dark. Make sure no one has followed you, you must be alone while summoning the Bloody Mary.
- Place a candle on the sink, facing the mirror, then light it.
- Isn't there a bathroom in which to play? Choose another dark room with a mirror.
Step 3. Look in the mirror and repeat "Bloody Mary" three times
Keep your eyes peeled as you say his name. You need to speak slowly and clearly so that Bloody Mary can hear you, then wait for her to appear in the mirror.
Nobody knows for sure, but some people say that Bloody Mary looks like a scary old witch
Step 4. Turn yourself three times if nothing appears
This way, you will entice her to appear. After turning three times on yourself, stop and look in the mirror to see if Blood Mary appears. If still not there, try turning in the opposite direction.
Step 5. Blow out the candle and exit the bathroom
Tell your friends what you saw in the mirror. Now it's the next player's turn.
Method 2 of 2: Organize a Theme Night
Step 1. Invite friends to play Bloody Mary
Throw a sleepover so you can play at night when it's dark outside. Make themed snacks and hang scary decorations to create the right atmosphere.
- Make mirror-shaped cookies. You and your friends can draw Bloody Mary with icing, each according to their imagination.
- Hang a black plastic tablecloth on the wall and add "Bloody Mary" with red paint.
Step 2. Find out who the Bloody Mary was
You can search online using the keywords "Bloody Mary game" or consult a book. Read his story to friends before you start playing. No one can say for sure, but there are those who claim that Bloody Mary is the ghost of the infamous Mary I Tudor who was Queen of England.
Step 3. Watch movies about the life of Bloody Mary
Look for documentaries or films inspired by his legend. Watch them with the lights out to create a spooky atmosphere before you start playing.
- Watch the movie "The Twisted Tale of Bloody Mary" for the story of Maria I Tudor.
- Watch the scary movie "Candyman - Terror Behind the Mirror" inspired by the Bloody Mary game.
Step 4. Indulge in a cheerful pastime after playing Bloody Mary
Throw out a fun board game or watch a comedy movie. You and your friends may feel scared after playing, so it's best to choose a carefree pastime that helps you calm down before bed.
