The Midnight Game rules: Inspired by KP's comic

How to play "The Midnight Game". Inspired by KP's fan made comic. Caution: Don't, I repeat, don't really play this game.

1. It must be exactly 12:00 AM when you begin the ritual, or else it will not work. You will need:

Candles
Paper and Pencils
A wooden front door
Salt
A pin needle
All the lights in the house off

Step 1: Everyone who is playing the midnight game must write their name on a piece of paper, then use a pin needle to drop a single drop of their blood onto the paper.

Step 2: Place the paper in front of your front door. Your front door must be made of wood.

Step 3: Light a candle.

Step 4: Knock on your front door exactly 22 times. (Note: the 22nd knock must happen at 12:00 AM or the ritual will not work.)

Step 5: Open your door, blow out the candle, and close it. You have now summoned the "Midnight Man". Immediately relight your candle.

Step 6: Your goal for the rest of the game is to survive the Midnight Man. Everyone who plays, must walk with their candle lit around the house, avoiding the Midnight Man at all costs until the clock strikes 3:33 AM. At which time the Midnight Man will leave. If your candle blows out on it's own, it means the Midnight Man is near, and you have 10 seconds to relight your candle. If you fail to relight the candle in 10 seconds, you must surround yourself with a circle of salt and wait until 3:33 AM. If you fail to surround yourself with salt in time, the Midnight Man will attack and you will have hallucinations of your worst fears until 3:33 AM.

Signs that the Midnight Man is nearby:

*Your candle blows out

*You suddenly get very cold

*You hear a low whisper

*You see a black humanoid figure within the darkness

WARNING:

*DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE'S BLOOD ON YOUR PAPER

*DO NOT STAND IN SPOT UNTIL 3:33 AM, THE MIDNIGHT MAN WILL FIND YOU

*DO NOT ATTMPT TO FALL ASLEEP DURING THE MIDNIGHT GAME

*DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE DURING THE MIDNIGHT GAME

*DO NOT USE A LIGHTER OR ANY OTHER LIGHT SOURCE IN PLACE OF A CANDLE

*AND DEFINITLEY DO. NOT. TRY TO PROVOKE THE MIDNIGHT MAN

Note to self: I will NOT play this game either.
