Not everyone is a huge fan of horror games, but Five Nights at Freddy’s had everyone tiptoeing around haunted pizzerias, wary of sinister animatronics. The game by Scott Cawthon became an overnight sensation and is globally known for its innovative gameplay, which limits the player's movement and resources, reinforces their vulnerability, and creates a panic-inducing environment.

What are the scariest Roblox horror games out there? We've picked the very spookiest that can be played alone with the lights off, or with friends!
The game becomes truly menacing because of its slow, horrifying anticipation buildup, sudden jump scares, and the disturbing lore behind the animatronics. These elements have garnered a huge FNaF fan base and continue to keep the series popular. Given its creatively sinister nature, it's no surprise that some talented fans have taken matters into their own hands, creating new experiences on Roblox that let the FNaF community have a chance to prolong their time in the hair-raising world of FNaF.
8 Forgotten Memories
Developer: Qubix Games
Forgotten Memories is a chill-inducing multiplayer survival horror that is set in a taco restaurant inspired by Freddy Fazbear. The game takes place at Tony’s Tacos, a new establishment built on the same plot as Freddy Fazbear’s notorious Pizzeria. Although it's marketed as multiplayer, the game can be played alone.
Forgotten Memories revolves around four characters: Amber, Jay, Todd, and Travis, who have recently been appointed as security personnel for Tony’s Tacos. As in FNaF, the game starts with their first night at their new job as security guards, where they have limited power, security cameras with blind spots, and an unreliable flashlight.
The objective, like in the FNaF games, is to survive five nights at the Taco place without being subjected to the animatronics' wrath. Despite being a Roblox game, the high-quality cutscenes, voice acting, and amazing mechanics of Forgotten Memories make this particular title one of the best horror games in Roblox.
7 Five Nights At Freddy’s Doom
Developer: CaioOpaleiroBR
With its dim lights, checkered floor, and animatronics taking over the stage to create an extremely eerie environment, Five Nights at Freddy’s Doom is a classic take on FNaF. However, unlike other FNaF games on Roblox, this one isn't that difficult and doesn’t make it too hard for players to evade the animatronics. It isn't game over when they come after you — it’s only game over when they catch up. Just play hide and seek and you’re golden.

We hope you like creepy animatronics.
The main strategy in the game is to lose the animatronics, and if they get too close, shine a flashlight at them. But don’t get too comfortable — the animatronics can appear out of nowhere, making it extremely challenging to survive the night. Staying wary and quick on your feet is key to making it through each encounter — pretty conventionally FNaF.
6 Freddy’s Pizzeria Experience
Developer: DuckyStand1
Freddy’s Pizzeria Experience is another stroke of FNaF genius on Roblox that allows you to step into the chilling world of FNaF once more. This game takes Five Nights and Freddy's and blends it with Roblox's very own masterpiece, The Nightshift Experience series, and comes up with an absolute masterpiece. The plotline of the game is essentially set up exactly like every other FNaF— a new security guard having to experience the worst nights of their life.
As a result, you get to perform a series of objectives that become progressively more challenging each night while navigating through the mysterious pizzeria and trying to stay far away from the chilling animatronics. The initial objectives are uneventful, but this is only to lull you into a false sense of security. The creepy music and buildup are truly nerve-wracking.
5 FNAF: Pizza Party
Developer: Pizza Party Game
Pizza Party on Roblox is a little different from regular FNaF-inspired games. It has a very cyber-punk-like setting that incorporates neon lights, a bright atmosphere, and an extraordinarily large pizza party venue.

Like it or not, Five Nights At Freddy's created a subgenre that earned lots of popularity ever since. Here are some similar titles.
Pizza Party mixes FNaF with elements of puzzle and collector games that will make you use your gaming experience to solve puzzles, set up pizza boxes, clean the place, and stay as far away from the animatronics as possible. While the environment of the game is very party-like, the guy you're on the phone with is suspicious, and the animatronics are unnervingly aggressive. What makes this game exciting for the fans is the fact that it's set in the same location as the FNaF movie.
4 FNAF: Support Requested
Developer: DevKaister
FNAF: Support Requested is a game that feels almost nostalgic because of its similarities to FNaF VR: Help Wanted. You start off in the same familiar security room with doors on each side, a camera screen up front, and the classic phone call.
Just like the original FNaF, no matter how frequently you check the cameras, Bonnie or Chica will make their move. You have to be very careful and make sure the doors are closed when the animatronics come closer. You also have to be very careful with your power and save it as much as you can, because once it reaches zero, you will be stalked by the big man Freddy himself. Support Requested is different from the original Five Nights at Freddy's in that it also has a Night six. And while surviving it takes an immense amount of experience and tact, it's a fun little extra challenge for the really experienced players.
3 Animatronic World
Developer: Gommy_Renard
Animatronic World, despite being based on FNaF, shows a completely different perspective of that world. It is a sandbox roleplaying game that shifts the focus from the security guard to the animatronics themselves. This time around, you can escape the fate of the security personnel and play as one of your favorite animatronics in one of the many maps of your choice. You can even create your animatronics and make them as scary or as adorable as you wish.
It is a highly customizable game that's suitable for all ages and even gives you the option to play as one of the characters from other fan-made FNaF games. It is the perfect alternative for those who love the FNaF characters but can’t deal with the flashing lights, spooky music, and stressful anticipation.
2 FNAF: Coop
Developer: Z0KTAR’s Community Group
FNAF: Coop is a fast-paced, multiplayer Five Nights at Freddy’s game with a massive following and its own extensive series to its name. True to its title, the game allows multiple players to select one map from the various available and try to survive in yet another spine-chilling world of Freddy’s haunted pizzeria.
Its multiplayer options make Coop one of the top FNaF-inspired Roblox games. It is nearly impossible to play this solo, and you’ll need other players to survive the night. It has the same haunting setting and jump scares as the original FNaF games but becomes truly chaotic and considerably more fun because of the Co-op setting.
1 Five Nights At Your Friends
Developer: Five Nights at Your Friends
Five Nights at Your Friends is yet another multiplayer FNaF game that puts a very creative twist on the classic Five Nights at Freddy’s gameplay. Despite how fun and casual its name sounds, the game maintains the eerie atmosphere of the original FNaF world but puts a fun little spin on it. In this fan-made version, you get to literally play as any character you want, including the animatronics.
What truly makes Five Nights at Your Friends stand out from other FNaF games (not only the Roblox ones) is its feature that allows you to invite friends to actively take on roles as the animatronics. You essentially get to experience the entire game with your friends as the scary sentient robots instead of computer-controlled ones. It makes the whole experience way more interactive and fun.
