How to play mirror games
Mirrors have always had a massive folklore around them. It's said mirrors contain your soul, and if you break a mirror you break your very soul. It takes 7 years for your soul to renew, hence 7 years of bad luck. That's an old roman belief. Reflective surfaces can also be used in divination. Divination with mirrors is called captromancy. Since there's so much superstition against mirrors, of course there's tons of supernatural mirror games. Here's a few:
-
Bloody Mary:
God, a total classic. Easy set up, all you need is a dark room and a mirror. All you westerners must've played this a lil chick huh? I remember fondly my sister putting me into the bathroom to do it and I didn't want to act like I was scared so I played cool and barely did it, but inside I was shivering in my boots. Anyways, all you have to do is spin around and chant "bloody Mary" 3 times. Then Bloody Mary steals your soul or something, there's tons of different endings depending on the person you ask.
-
Candyman:
Who can make the sun rise? Sprinkle it with dew? Anyways, Candyman has a really dark folk story to it, and i'll let you find that one for yourself. You know they used real bees for the Candyman movie and the Candyman actor got 1,000 for every sting? All you need is a dark room and a mirror, again. All you do is look in the mirror and say "candyman" like 5 times. Then the Candyman kills you or something. Again it changes all the time.

3 Kings:
Finally, some variety... You'll need a lot for this one so hang on tight. First you need 2 people. Here's a material list:
- A dark room
- some candles, 4 is good.
- a lighter
- a container of water
- a drinking cup
- an electric fan, a table one is fine.
- 2 large mirrors
- 3 chairs
- an alarm clock
- a fully charged cellphone for both people
- and an object near and dear to your heart
set up:
Start setting up at around 11, 10 at the earliest. Place 1 chair in the center of the room, facing north. Place the 2 other chairs on the left and right of the center chair. They should be about an arms-length away from the center chair. Place the 2 mirrors on the chairs on the left and right, the mirrors should be facing you. You should be able to see your reflection without turning you head to the sides. There should be only 2 reflections, for a total of 3 kings. Place the mug and bucket far away in front of you, and place the fan behind you and turn it on. turn off all the lights, leave the door open, and go to your bedroom. set the candles , lighter, and the alarm clock next to your bed. set your alarm for 3:30 am (oo spooky time) and go to bed with your dear object.
execution:
wake up at 3:30, and immediately go to work. turn off the alarm but don't turn on the lights. Grab your dear object as well. you have 3 minutes to light the candle, grab your phone, and go sit down in your throne. you should be seated by 3:33 am (oo spooky number). Don't look into the mirrors, and protect the lit candle with your life. What happens seems to change with the person. You either get your questions answered or you die or you see ghosts or something I don't know.
dangers:
If:
- you did not make it to the seat by 3:33 am
- the fan is off when you enter
- your phone isn't charged or is about to die
- the door to the mirror room is closed
- something bad happens or something I dunno lol
Then exit the room and go to a hotel or something, sleep in your car. There be ghosties and ghoulies. Take this with a grain of salt it is a creepypasta after all. I personally don't think it will work, but believing in ghosts makes them more likely to appear.
Have fun lookin in mirrors and getting attacked by ghosts lololol. I usually prefer to cover games with richer histories than creepypastas or sleepover tricks, but it's fun to look at sometimes. Ghosts aren't assured, but if you believe in one than you might get what you want.
