8 Best and Scariest Ghost Games on Android

Looking for a game that gets your heart racing? If you want a thrilling experience, ghost games can be just as exciting as racing games (or sometimes even more).

If you enjoy mystical and horror themes, you should definitely try some of these scariest and most thrilling ghost games on Android.

1. The Ghost

Unlike story-driven games, The Ghost focuses on intense survival horror gameplay. You’re trapped in haunted places like a hospital, school, or old house. Your goal is to escape by finding items such as keys, medicine, or car tires, and get away before time runs out.

But beware! Ghosts will chase you while you try to escape. You can play solo or with others in multiplayer mode.

In multiplayer, teams of up to four players can choose their roles: either a ghost hunting survivors or a survivor trying to escape the horrors of each location. This unique option to play as a ghost makes the game fresh and less predictable.

The solo mode resembles the gameplay of The Exit 8, where you must find anomalies on each floor to escape. Before playing solo, you create a custom room to set the number of players, game mode, and whether ghost bots appear.

What I like about The Ghost:

• Play solo or multiplayer with random players
• In multiplayer, you can be a survivor or a ghost
• Solo mode is similar to The Exit 8
• Some modes offer map variations

One thing to keep in mind:

• The game doesn’t have a specific storyline

2. Eyes

In this game, you play as a thief tasked with stealing 20 bags of money scattered throughout a wealthy businessman’s mansion. But the mansion is haunted and guarded by ghosts!

During your robbery, you can find special “eyes runes” that let you see where the ghosts are. Using these runes helps you avoid them and stay hidden.

You’ll encounter different types of ghosts like Krasue, Charlie, and the witch Ursula. As the game progresses, the setting expands beyond the mansion to places like a hospital and a school, but your goal remains the same: find all the money bags.

The gameplay is straightforward, with each chapter following a similar pattern, only varying in the number and types of ghosts. You can play alone or team up with friends, and single-player mode even works offline.

One feature I really like is the expert mode, where you can customize the difficulty, choose which ghosts appear, and adjust other settings.

That said, the gameplay can get repetitive if you play for a long time. However, seeing the game from a ghost’s perspective adds a unique and interesting twist. The graphics change noticeably when you’re a ghost compared to playing as the thief. If you’re curious, it’s definitely worth trying!

What I like about Eyes:

• Variety of ghost types
• Eyes runes let you see through ghosts’ eyes
• Customizable expert mode
• Can be played solo or multiplayer
• Easy to learn

One thing to keep in mind:

• Gameplay lacks variety and can feel repetitive over time

3. Granny 3

Almost everyone knows the Granny horror game series. If you’re a fan, don’t miss Granny 3, where you’ll face not only Granny but also Grandpa and their granddaughter, Slendrina.

Once again, you’re trapped by Granny’s family, and your goal is to escape within five days without being caught. Stay quiet while searching for a way out, because Granny, Grandpa, and Slendrina can come after you at any time.

The gameplay is just as intense as in the previous titles. Facing all three creepy characters at once makes escaping much more challenging. The game keeps the signature style of DVloper’s games, and the Nightmare mode makes the graphics even more terrifying.

What I like about Granny 3:

• You can face Granny, Grandpa, and Slendrina simultaneously, increasing the challenge
• Nightmare mode makes the visuals scarier
• Simple controls and joystick make it easy to play

One thing to keep in mind:

• Gameplay can feel repetitive

4. Horror Hospital® 2

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of the graphics in this ghost game by Heisen Games. The graphics are not very smooth, and some of the 2D ghosts look distracting and cheap. This takes away from the feeling of fear in the game.

In Horror Hospital® 2, you play as a journalist asked to explore an old hospital and find secret documents to uncover a hidden mystery. This story is shown in a comic style at the start before your mission begins.

Besides looking for the documents, you also need to find other helpful items, like keys, to make your exploration easier. Along the way, you will meet many ghostly creatures in the haunted hospital. Some just want to scare you, while others behave strangely, like eating corpses.

In short, your task is to survive the horrors of the hospital and find the secret documents for your journalist friend.

What I like about Horror Hospital® 2:

• Very simple gameplay
• Easy controls and joystick
• Unique comic-style story at the beginning
• A wide variety of ghosts

Things to note:

• The graphics are not very attractive
• Some jump scares feel cheap

5. True Fear 1

If you like mystery puzzle games but want a horror twist, True Fear 1 is a great choice. I like this game because it mixes horror with mystery solving, which makes it feel different.

This game is not just about being scared. It makes you think. You don’t only search for items; you also find hidden objects, solve puzzles, and connect clues to solve the mystery faced by the characters.

The story follows a woman who suddenly receives a letter from her sister, whom she hasn’t seen in 10 years. Her sister asks her to come to a house and solve the mystery that happened there.

What I like about True Fear:

• Combines horror with mystery puzzles
• Not many intense jump scares
• Good graphics
• Several acts with different missions

One thing to note:

• The gameplay is a bit slow and takes hours to finish

6. Endless Nightmare 1

Endless Nightmare 1 tells the story of James, a police officer trying to solve the murder of his family. You play as James and explore his house to find out what happened. But James is haunted by nightmares that make him hallucinate. He sees a ghost chasing him in his own home.

You can help James create powerful weapons to fight the ghost. When you can’t fight, James must quickly find a safe hiding place.

The game offers horror not only through its story but also with creepy music and sound effects. The beautiful graphics add more fear to the experience.

What I like about this app:

• The mix of graphics, story, and sound is very suspenseful
• The mystery James faces is interesting
• The graphics are great, especially when showing the switch between reality and James’ nightmares
• The gameplay is easy to play

7. Endless Nightmare 2

I didn’t expect this game to have such a thrilling story right from the start. Endless Nightmare 2 is a direct sequel to the first game. This time, you play as a police officer named Jake, who is investigating a missing person case in Oak Town.

Strangely, Jake wakes up in a haunted hospital full of creepy creatures, like ghosts, zombies, and more. He must fight these monsters while uncovering the mystery behind the hospital.

The game combines exploration, mystery puzzles, and action. As Jake, you will have weapons like pistols and knives to fight ghosts and strange bosses. You can also upgrade these weapons to face stronger enemies.

There are two game modes: Normal Mode and Challenge Mode. In Normal Mode, you can play without a time limit until you finish the mission. In Challenge Mode, you need to complete the mission within a certain time.

Interestingly, you can play this game offline. You might also discover hidden story details that connect to the first game.

What I like about this app:

• Jump scares and story are more intense than the first game
• Combines action with weapon use
• Gameplay is still fairly simple, though controls are a bit more complex

One thing to note:

• The graphics quality seems a little lower than the first game

8. Kamla

Kamla is a psychological thriller by Mad Mantra. It mixes a mystical Indian setting with puzzle-solving. The smooth graphics, spooky sounds, and rich Indian culture work well together to create a tense atmosphere from the start.

You play as a priest hired by a family to perform an exorcism on Kamla, a family member. After marrying the son, Kamla suddenly changes and seems possessed by an evil spirit that makes her dangerous. Her new family fears her and leaves her alone, so the job falls to you.

Besides the main mission of exorcism, you explore hidden story clues through letters and objects around the house. Some items help during the exorcism.

But be careful! Kamla can appear at any time and try to stop you. You must hide smartly, like inside wardrobes or under beds, to avoid her. What I like about Kamla is its clear objectives. Each step shows on the screen, so you never feel lost.

What I like about Kamla:

• The mix of graphics, sounds, and Indian culture creates a powerful horror feel
• Jump scares are well done and build tension, not cheap tricks
• Controls are smooth and easy to use
• Objectives are clearly shown, so it’s easy to know what to do

Things to note:

• The game moves slowly, so you need patience
• Some players report poor performance on mid-range or lower-end phones
