What Is Scary Maze 2?
Scary Maze 2 is a free scary maze game and the sequel to our own Scare Maze. The job is the same: steer a white dot to the green checkered finish and never touch a wall. This time the maze fights back. Doors are locked, striped walls slide open and shut, the lights go out, and on the later levels something starts walking the corridors toward you.
It plays in your browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or Chromebook. There’s nothing to download and no account to make. The game remembers the furthest level you’ve reached, so you can pick up where you left off.
How to Play Scary Maze 2
- Phone or tablet: put a finger anywhere on the game and drag. The dot moves the way your finger moves, so your finger never has to cover it. Lift off and the dot waits.
- Mouse or trackpad: click the white dot once, then just move. There’s no need to hold the button. Click again to let go.
- Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD move the dot at a steady speed.
- Keys and doors: a colored door blocks the route until you fetch the key of the same color, which is always down a side passage.
- Sliding walls: the orange striped walls open and close on a timer. Stop short, watch one full cycle, then go through the gap.
- Touch a wall, a closed door or a sliding wall and the level starts again. Only that level, so you never lose your place.
The Eight Levels
Every player gets the same eight mazes, so a level you’ve learned stays learned. Each one adds a new problem.
| Level | Name | What’s new |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | First Steps | A plain maze to learn the controls |
| 2 | The Key | A locked door and a key down a side passage |
| 3 | Sliding Walls | Striped walls that open and shut |
| 4 | Lights Out | Darkness, with a small light around the dot |
| 5 | Wrong Way | A dark maze where the finish is not where it seems |
| 6 | Narrow | Tight corridors and more sliding walls |
| 7 | Keep Moving | Taking the key wakes something up |
| 8 | The Way Out | Two keys, sliding walls, darkness and company |
How Is It Different From the First Scare Maze?
The first game is a prank with a punchline: three calm levels, then the scare. Scary Maze 2 is a longer creepy maze game that keeps you guessing. Some of the frights are small, like a light that cuts out or a face at the edge of the dark that is gone when you look again. One is not small at all, and it does not wait for the end. There is also a real ending this time. Get through Level 8 and you are out.
Tips
- Read the maze before you move. On the lit levels you can see the key, the door and the finish from the start. Trace the route with your eyes first.
- Park before every sliding wall. Let go of the dot a little way back, wait for the wall to open, then cross in one move. Stopping inside the gap is how most runs end.
- In the dark, follow the glow. Keys and the finish give off a faint light even when the rest of the maze is black.
- Listen for the heartbeat. Once something is following you, the beat gets faster as it gets closer. A slow beat means you have time to be careful.
- Get out of dead ends fast. The follower takes the same corridors you do. If it reaches the mouth of a dead end while you are inside, there is no other way out.
- On a phone, drag from below the maze. Your finger can be anywhere on the screen, so keep it clear of the part you need to see.

FAQ
Is Scary Maze 2 free?
Yes. Scary Maze 2 is free to play in your browser. There is nothing to buy, nothing to download and no account to make. All eight levels are open to everyone.
Is Scary Maze 2 unblocked?
Scary Maze 2 runs as a plain web page with nothing to install, so it usually loads on school and work networks, including Chromebooks. Play Scary Maze 2 online here with a trackpad, a mouse, the arrow keys or a touch screen.
Is there a jumpscare in Scary Maze 2?
Yes, more than one. There are a few small frights along the way and one loud full-screen scare with a sudden face and a scream. Being caught by the follower on the last two levels sets off a shorter one. There is no blood or gore, but it is loud and sudden, so it is not for young children or anyone who dislikes being startled.
How many levels does Scary Maze 2 have?
Eight. They are the same eight mazes for every player, and each adds something new: a locked door, sliding walls, darkness, a finish that moves, narrow corridors, and a follower. The last level uses all of it at once.
Does Scary Maze 2 save my progress?
Yes. The game saves the furthest level you have reached on your device. The title screen shows a Continue button and a row of level numbers, and you can start from any level you have already reached.
Can I play Scary Maze 2 on my phone?
Yes. On a phone the maze stands upright and fills the screen. Put a finger anywhere and drag, and the dot moves the same way, so your finger never hides it. It works in iPhone and Android browsers.
What follows you in Scary Maze 2?
On Levels 7 and 8, picking up the first key wakes something at the start of the maze. It walks the corridors toward you at a steady pace and it never stops. You can see its eyes, even in the dark, and a heartbeat gets faster as it closes in. Reach the finish before it reaches you.
How do the sliding walls work?
Each striped wall runs on its own timer: shut, slide open, stay open for a moment, slide shut. Touching one counts as touching a wall. Wait a step back from it, watch it open, and cross while it is fully open.
Is there a leaderboard?
Yes. Play from Level 1 to the end of Level 8 in one go and your time goes on the leaderboard, fastest first. Restarting a level keeps the clock running. Runs that begin from a later level do not count.
Do I need to play Scare Maze first?
No. Scary Maze 2 teaches its controls on the first level. The first Scare Maze is shorter and built around one big scare, so it is a good warm-up if you have five minutes.
