Scary games you can play in your browser
If you want a good scare without a big download, these browser games are made for it. They load in seconds, run on a phone or laptop, and you can quit the second it gets too tense. The scares come from atmosphere, darkness and surprise rather than blood.
Haunted Ward is the main event. You explore an abandoned marsh hospital by flashlight, hide in lockers when the ghost gets close, and look for three power fuses so everyone can escape. Play it solo with two companions, or bring up to three friends and use voice chat and quick pings to stay calm.
Ghost Grabber is a lighter, jumpier take. Your flashlight is the only weapon, ghosts duck behind furniture, and holding the beam steady drains your battery, so you have to choose your moments across the parlor, the attic and the cellar.
The game has a spooky-fun intensity setting and a silly ghost instead of gore, so it is scary the way a haunted house ride is scary.
