Bloody Mary is a classic horror game where each player has to summon the ghost of Bloody Mary through the bathroom mirror. All he had to do to summon her was to light a candle and go into the bathroom alone. To make it even more fun, invite your friends over to your house so you can play together and tell everyone what you see in the mirror. Don't forget to turn off all the lights!
Step
Method 1 of 2: Following the Game
Step 1. Decide who should summon the Bloody Mary first
If no one wants to, play a short game to determine the first player. You can toss a coin or try suten (or hom pim pah). Whoever loses must be the first player to enter the bathroom.
Step 2. Go to the bathroom after your turn and turn off the light
Close the door so that the bathroom is completely dark. Make sure no other players come in. You must be completely alone when summoning Bloody Mary.
- Place the candle on the sink in front of the mirror, then light it.
- If you can't play in the bathroom, try summoning the ghost of Bloody Mary in another dark room with a mirror.
Step 3. Look in the mirror and say “Bloody Mary” 3 times
Close your eyes while chanting the mantra. Make sure you say it slowly and clearly so Bloody Mary can hear you. After that, wait for him to appear in the mirror.
No one knows for sure, but some say that Bloody Mary looked like a scary old witch
Step 4. Spin three times if the Bloody Mary doesn't appear
That said, spinning can make it appear. After spinning three times, stop and look in the mirror to see if he has appeared. If it still doesn't show up, try turning in a different direction.
Step 5. Blow out the candles and leave the bathroom
Tell your friends what you see in the mirror. After that, tell the next player to go into the bathroom and summon the Bloody Mary.
Method 2 of 2: Host a Bloody Mary Themed Night Party or Stay
Step 1. Invite your friends to play Bloody Mary at home
Organize sleepovers so everyone can take their time and play when it gets dark. Make treats and decorate your room or house with scary decorations to build the atmosphere.
- Make a cookie that looks like a mirror. You and your friends can draw Bloody Mary on cookies using cake frosting.
- Hang or mount a black plastic tablecloth on the wall and write "Bloody Mary" on the tablecloth using red paint.
Step 2. Read the history of the Bloody Mary
Use the internet search keyword “history of Bloody Mary game” or read a book about the game in your city library. You can read the history aloud to your friends before trying the game. No one knows for sure, but some people assume that the Bloody Mary is the ghost of Britain's famous Queen Mary I.
Step 3. Watch a Bloody-Mary themed film
Search the internet for documentaries about Bloody Mary or rent films inspired by the legend. Watch movies in a dark room so everyone gets scared before the game starts.
- Watch The Twisted Tale of Bloody Mary to learn about Queen Mary I of England.
- Watch the horror film Candy Man. This film is inspired by the game Bloody Mary.
Step 4. Have a light activity after playing Bloody Mary
Choose a silly board game to play, or decide on a comedy that everyone can watch. You and your friends may feel scared after playing so light activities like this can calm everyone down.
