  • Question
    How old do I need to be to play this game?
    Community Answer
    People usually start to play when they are about 13, but you can play if you are younger if you are brave.
  • Question
    I'm really scared because on a website it says that I am now cursed and that I have to send the urban legend to 15 or more people to be free from Bloody Mary. What shall I do?
    Community Answer
    This is known as a "chain letter" or a website variation of it. It is fake, it is a deliberate attempt of some mean person to scare readers. Show your mom/dad/guardian the site and have them explain things to you. Do not do what the site says, it is a scam and it is deliberately trying to scare you.
  • Question
    How can you stop Bloody Mary from getting out of the bathroom?
    Community Answer
    Turn on the light, shut the door and breathe calmly so that you can all calm down. Go calmly to the living room and put on a fun DVD or go to bed and talk about happy things. After that, you'll all feel a lot better and remember that it was and is just a game.
  • Question
    Will Bloody Mary haunt me forever or follow me around?
    Community Answer
    Just say, "Bloody Mary, I am free of thee." Then, the (imaginary) ghost of Bloody Mary will be off your mind.
  • Question
    Will Bloody Mary try to kill me out of the bathroom?
    Community Answer
    She will never try it unless it's dark as the dark spirits are defeated by light.
  • Question
    What are Bloody Mary's powers?
    Community Answer
    She doesn't have powers, but when I was 12 my parent told me that her one and only power was to scare the living daylights out of people with gullible minds.
  • Question
    Is it real? Will I have nightmares or die?
    Community Answer
    No, it is not real. Yes, you may have nightmares due to the incredible ability of human beings to spook each other with amazing story telling and mutual confirmation that normal noises, actions and lights aren't what they seem and therefore if your imagination runs away with you, this can cause nightmares. No, you won't die unless you fall from a height, accidentally stab yourself or trip over badly when running away in fear. Remember this - your group has a major role in spooking each other and each of you is complicit in accepting that something spooky rather than real is happening. If that thrills you, then that's fine but at least be honest that that is what is really going on.
  • Question
    Why does bloody Mary appear in a bathroom mirror?
    Community Answer
    The story is that she does this because she was in the bathroom getting a glass of water when she was murdered.
  • Question
    What happens to you when you get hurt?
    Community Answer
    You find out who bumped into you, poked you or attacked you and tell them off. Then get some first aid if they were overly rough. Think twice about ever playing the game with that person again.
  • Question
    If you just have to go to the bathroom to brush your teeth or just use a bathroom will Mary come?
    Community Answer
    Brush your teeth happily and take your favorite stuffed toy with you if you're worried about anything. There is no such person in your bathroom, it is just a game.
  • Question
    Is it true that if I say "Bloody Mary, I stole your baby" 3 times, she'll scratch my face so hard that she'll leave me bleeding?
    Community Answer
    No, this is just a game. Nothing will ever actually happen to you. People just tell each other these things to scare each other.
  • Question
    Do you turn off the lights?
    Community Answer
    If you are brave, you could. Then when you light the candle, it creates more fear and thrill. Boo!
  • Question
    Can I have Bloody Mary's number?
    Community Answer
    No. Cellphones didn't exist at her death.
  • Question
    Is there a certain time at which this works best?
    Community Answer
    I would say it works better late at night or very early in the morning (like 3 AM).
  • Question
    Can I play the game in my room?
    Community Answer
    Probably not, since tradition says that you must do it in the bathroom. It may not work if you do it in front of any other mirror.
  • Question
    Does Bloody Mary take you away?
    Community Answer
    Where and why? The game might take your breath away but Bloody Mary is not real and won't be taking you anywhere.
  • Question
    Can Bloody Mary come in my room at night?
    Community Answer
    No. Bloody Mary isn't real and she will not come into your room. It's just a game people play to scare each other.
  • Question
    Who invented this game?
    Community Answer
    It's not known who originally invented this game.
  • Question
    Can Bloody Mary take you or your friend at the end of the game?
    Community Answer
    No, it is just a game. Nothing will really happen.
  • Question
    Is there a particular time to call her?

    Community Answer
    Usually it's at midnight, but you can do it at any time. One of my friends did it at midnight and she said she saw something that looked like the outline of a person that wasn't her.
  • Question
    Does Bloody Mary have a daughter?
    Community Answer
    No. She was murdered, and there have been little to no reports of seeing anyone else in the mirror along with her.
  • Question
    How do I end the game?
    Community Answer
    There isn't really an "end"; you either see her or you don't. Once you've seen her, you can exit the bathroom. (Make sure to blow out the candle first.)
  • Question
    How do I know if I've have been cursed by Bloody Mary?
    Community Answer
    You haven't -- it's just a game. Bloody Mary isn't real.
  • Question
    What does Bloody Mary look like?
    Community Answer
    She looks like a woman with black hair over her face and a bloody white wedding dress, which is what she was wearing on her wedding night when she got murdered.
  • Question
    Does this game have an impact on very young minds?
    Community Answer
    This game can have a lasting impact on a young person's mind, especially if you don't properly explain that it's just a game and there's no one coming to get them.
  • Question
    Has anyone tried this?
    Community Answer
    I have played this game several times and nothing happened. Play it if you want to, but the game is not real. It's just meant to scare you.
  • Question
    Does she really come? And will she try to hurt me?
    Community Answer
    No, this is just a pretend game.
  • Question
    How come people believe in this stuff?
    Community Answer
    Presumably, the players like being thrilled and scared. That's fine but the problem arises when people confuse the imagined, self-created fear with reality. When that happens, stories spiral out of control and silliness takes over.
  • Question
    Is bloody Mary real and is she going to come and haunt me and would I ever see her?
    Community Answer
    No, she is not real, so she will not actually haunt you and you won't really see her.
  • Question
    Can I feel her appearance?

    Community Answer
    No, she isn't real. You may have hallucinations, but they're just brain tricks!
