Midnight man

## Description

The Midnight Game is a game that originated from a creepypasta off of 4chan.

## Requirements

* a candle
* a piece of paper
* a writing implement
* matches or a lighter
* salt
* a wooden door
* one drop of your own blood. If you are playing with multiple people, they will need their own of the aforementioned materials and they will have to perform the steps below accordingly.

## Instructions

1- Write your full name (first, middle, and last) on the piece of paper. Put at least one drop of blood on the paper.

2- Turn off all of the lights in the room you are doing this. Go to your wooden door, and place the paper with your name on it in front of the door. Now, take out the candle and light it. Place it on top of the paper.

3- Knock on the door twenty-two times. The hour must be exactly 12:00 AM upon the final knock. Then, open the door, blow out the candle, and close the door. You have just allowed the "Midnight Man" to enter your house.

4- Immediately relight your candle.

This is where the game begins. You must now lurk around your now completely dark house, with the lit candle in your hand. Your goal is to avoid the Midnight Man at all costs, until 3:33 AM. Should your candle ever go out, that means the Midnight Man is near you. You must relight your candle in the next ten seconds.

If you are not successful in relighting your candle in less than 10 seconds, you must then immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt. If you are unsuccessful in both of your actions, the Midnight Man will create a hallucination of your greatest fear, and rip out your organs one by one. You will feel it, but you will be unable to react.

If you are successful in creating the circle of salt, you must remain in there until 3:33 AM.

If you are successful in relighting your candle, you may proceed with the game. You must continue to 3:33 AM, without being attacked by the Midnight Man, or being trapped inside the circle of salt, to win the Midnight Game. The Midnight Man will leave your house at 3:33 AM.

Do not turn any of the lights on during the Midnight Game.

Do not use a flashlight during the Midnight Game.

Do not go to sleep during the Midnight Game.

Do not attempt to use another person's blood on your name.

Do not use a lighter as a substitute for a candle. It will not work.

Do not attempt to provoke the Midnight Man in any way.

No matter what, the midnight man will leave your house at 3:33 AM.

Do not play this game on Friday the 13th or else he will be worse than the other times you've played.

If you have pets, have someone who can look after them while you play the game. If you are unable to do this, put them inside of a cage and surround it with a circle of salt before the game starts.

Even when the game is over, he will always be watching you...

Indications that the Midnight Man is near you will include sudden drop in temperature, seeing a pure black, humanoid figure through the darkness, and hearing very soft whispering coming from an indiscernible source. If you experience any of these, it is advised that you leave the area to avoid the Midnight Man.
