Our haunted video games quiz covers the internet’s most famous gaming legends: a phantom player with empty eyes, an arcade cabinet that may never have existed, and a cursed cartridge from a garage sale. Ten questions mix details from the stories with real facts about how the legends began.
How to use it
Answer each question to see whether you got it right, along with a short explanation and a link to the story. Most questions come straight from the versions of Herobrine, Polybius and Ben Drowned published on Creepypasta.com. A few cover what really happened behind the legends, like what the game’s developer said about Herobrine and why researchers doubt Polybius was ever real. When you’re done, find more cursed cartridges in our video games and gaming stories.

Frequently asked questions
Was Polybius a real arcade game?
There’s no evidence it ever existed. No 1980s newspaper or gaming magazine mentions it, and its earliest verifiable online mention dates from 2000, so it’s generally treated as an urban legend.
Was Herobrine ever in the game?
No. Herobrine began as a 2010 forum story, and the game’s developer has said he never had a brother.
Is the quiz free?
Yes. It’s free, needs no sign-up, and your answers never leave your browser.
