Previously: The Nesting Doll Game.
I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of most of the “3am Challenge” videos circulating YouTube; they’re always way too hammed up for my taste, as well as incredibly easy to fake. They’re quite popular, though — and what’s more, one ritual game that folks seem to be really into right now was actually seen online for the first time on YouTube. It’s called the Ghost Paper Challenge, although it might also be referred to as Spirit Of The Door. The rules don’t seem to exist in written form anywhere on the internet, so I’ve cobbled together a set based on what’s available via YouTube; I’ve also incorporated a few safeguards in the event that something goes wrong.
Because something probably WILL go wrong.
YouTuber Stromedy, real name Kyle Godfrey, was — as far as I know — the first person to bring the Ghost Paper Challenge online, although many others have followed suit since then. According to Godfrey, he originally heard about the game from his uncle, who apparently said it was a “big thing when he was a kid, similar to how Bloody Mary was for us.”
[Like what you read? Check out Dangerous Games To Play In The Dark, available from Chronicle Books now!]
Godfrey is 18 according to his YouTube bio, so I’m willing to bet that his uncle probably isn’t that much older than I am; Gen X is likely a good guess. (I straddle the line between Gen X and Older Millennials.) This matters because of the reference to Bloody Mary — Godfrey doesn’t seem to be aware of the fact that Bloody Mary has been a thing at least since the 1970s, and has roots that go back even further. Personally, I think that’s a count against the game’s authenticity — it’s very, very likely that Godfrey’s uncle would have grown up playing Bloody Mary itself, so the remark implying that the Ghost Paper Challenge is an “older” game than Bloody Mary seems… odd to me — but that might just be me.
The ritual bears a few similarities to the Midnight Game; both involve lighting a candle, writing something on a piece of paper, positioning the paper before a door, and then knocking on the door a certain number of times to summon an entity. Where they differ is in the use of blood — the Ghost Paper Challenge doesn’t require any, while the Midnight Game does — and, of course, in the results: In one game, a correctly performed ritual enables you to make contact with something, ask questions, and gain information, whereas in the other, you invite something in specifically so it can hunt you down.
Is it possible the game is completely made-up? Absolutely. First, there’s that previous point I made about its comparison to Bloody Mary; what’s more, I would also argue that its close resemblance to the summoning portions of so many other games might be a clue that it’s fictional. It looks an awful lot like the game may simply be an amalgam of already-existing summoning rituals taken out of context and tweaked a tiny bit in order to create something ostensibly “new.”
Of course, the Ghost Paper Challenge might still be interesting — and maybe fun, depending on what your definition of “fun” is — to try.
As always, play at your own risk.

Mika 👁👄👁 says
I just found this, I want to try it but I also want to do it with other friends with me because I would be terrified to do this alone
Isaiah says
I am going to attempt this tonight but if I ask it will it harm me if I keep duplicating and ask it will it sell my soul while I’m duplicating will that have any side effects
Rob says
So i am new to this one but old enough to remember running frantically through the darkened hallway screaming from our seeing our own shadows. However, i am still game to pushing the dimensional envelope sometimes.. So far the most interesting event (next to whiz kid Strongdom’s (sp?) 3-24-2022 humanity’s expiration date) when i searched for “Ghost Paper *Test*” instead of “*Challenge*” Google returned several hits (or links) to “Ghost Pepper Challenge” related.. anyhoo.. play or run responsibly..
kentrell beamer says
if you ask the ghost to give you a phone, would it work? have you tried it?
Scott Dickinson says
I tried the challenge just exactly how it says to do. Right at 3am I was ready and knocked on the door three times and then repeated the saying three times. Then I placed the paper and the marker half way under the door with the first question on it. I sat for like 2 minutes and nothing happened. All lights were off except for the candle. I tried it two more times but nothing happened. Its even the most creepy part of the house. The basement. I want this to work so badly that I will leave my name so you can look me up on Facebook and respond to me on there. Scott Dickinson. My profile picture is of my blue and yellow honda civic car. Thanks.
Sean Wheeling says
It doesn’t really matter. If the door starts to open, RUN. They are the scariest thing you’ll ever see. I barely made it out of my house alive
Frostie says
It’s logic if 2 people get 6 questions to ask because each person can ask 3 questions each.
ory says
So I was about to play till I realised there are my family members sleeping in different rooms, will the game affect them?
Micah says
will they be cursed or me?
Micah says
ok what happends if my parents turn the light on after or open my bedroom door?
Tiffany says
When there is 3 people do they have to say spirit of the door, one at a time
Loves dogs says
Can the candle be fake or does it have to be real?
Ashley says
It needs to be real. If the flame flickers, it’s likely a spirit or demon is near.
Blackberry freddy says
what happens if it the ghost threatens you? should you stop the game or get help?
damien says
What if you’re doing it and when you’re all done and go to bed and let’s say your mom or dad or sister opens the door. what will happen?
earn to die 2 play online says
Bookmarked this website page, will come back for extra articles. You, my friend, ROCK! I found just the info I already searched all over the place and simply could not come across. What a great web site.
Leland says
Can it bring us items?
Leland says
Like if I show it a picture of something I want off Amazon will it bring it to me ?
Lovergirl700 says
So I also played the Charlie Charlie and that did not work for me at all. I got mad when it didn’t work. Last but not least I played the ouija board and that shit did not work for me. So all in all, seems to me like Demons can’t touch me or shit or God has destined my life and this was not part of his Will. I actually believe this is the reason why shit doesn’t work for me.
Lovergirl700 says
High Spiritual activity begins from 12midnight to 4am. I have tried this challenge and it did not work. I opened my door anyway and all I felt was fear. I closed my closet door. Put my candle on top of my desk and laid down on my bed trying to go to sleep. The candle light was flickering like heck but I was like if you didn’t want to talk to me before then don’t start shit now. I knew something was hinting at my spiritual body because fear was placed. It was almost like I knew exactly what was happening. So what did I do next? Well the lights kept flickering and I told myself in my head, ” Girl, you do realise that it’s playing on fear. And you know about this demonology shit”. As soon as I finished that conversation with myself, the lights still flickered but I smacked my teeth and said I don’t have time for this and the fear was gone. I couldn’t fool myself like that. So the next 2 hours I ignored the flickering lights while watching not Jaystation videos. Then I went to sleep. Woke up the next day refreshed.
$$$ says
Does it actually work or is it fake? I won’t sell my soul but i do wanna duplicate my $100 bill wit da spirit of da door if it is real. W/o soul selling 😆
Sfghfbhgvn says
Yes you can ask it to duplicate money.
alex says
can you ask it to teleport you to its home?
Demøn_Wølfie_Playz says
Alex that is NOT I repeat NOT a good idea. It could take you to hell or the middle of nowhere and how would you get home? That’s not a good idea. I don’t know you but I don’t want you to get hurt.
Claire Tillman says
Can we have our dog(s) with us during the ritual? Is it safe?
RedStoneDragonZ says
Can I use a flameless candle?
ark says
What do I do if my friend goes missing…………..(i’m scared)
Mclaren says
Does the ritual actually work??
Girl says
I think you can, but it’s better not to, as the entity is not from the light. It’s more like a bad spirit or a demon that will want something from you. It’s better not to make any wishes as your life can be in danger.
Connor says
Well if it says the only candle then I’m guessing you can use only a candle. Is it just me or are you saying you don’t have any candles? Not even 1?
AOTISLIFE says
Can this ghost actually grant wishes and are you able to sell your soul to the devil?
levi oconnor says
what happens if you open the door before daylight?
Strawberry ♌️ says
But what happens if you open the door after you said goodbye but before daylight???
Nerpa Seal says
Watch Britty44 play this game. Nothing happens but you can trust her because she doesn’t fake anything.
Carrie Redman says
I’ve played it just a few minutes ago nothing happened at all I think I did it wrong I don’t know
Zubair khan says
What happens if you open the door before daylight?
Madi says
Can I play this at midnight? Or does it absolutely HAVE to be at exactly 3am?
Giancarlo says
3AM is the so-called ‘Devil’s Hour.’ It has to be at 3AM.
Yolo says
Should I try this? And can anyone recommend a trustful Youtuber who has played this game? Thanks.
Charlie says
Why can’t you ask more than 3 questions?
Logan Schaeffer says
It symbolizes 3am.
Charlie says
Can the spirit of the door duplicate items?
Michael says
Has this ritual worked for anyone?
V33 says
Hh. I did this w/ my cousin. Nothing happened. The first time I tried to do this, I saw a head with glowing white eyes peek out of the hallway. So I stopped. But I tried it w/ my cousin and nothing happened.
Batty says
I really want to do this tonight but Idk if it actually works, I do believe that my house is 100% haunted though. Does anybody know if it works??
Jamie haluzan says
What do you do with paper when you are done with the challenge?
fearofthewalkingdead says
What if the spirit tries to open your door, like the door starts rattling?.. I’d be like bye felicia I’m jumping out of my window.
Lelan says
What if it tries to open the door?
Lauren Maskus says
May I use my phone just to check I’ve done everything right or does no light (except candle) mean actually no light whatsoever?
Julia says
So you can’t have lights on during the ritual and you can’t open the door before sunrise but can you turn the lights on in your room before sunrise but after you’ve blown out the candle?
Bri says
I’m trying this tonight. Like omg my fiance is terrified but tbh it may not work but having Wicca blood running through my veins may prove otherwise.
SuperCaligro says
I really don’t think being a descendant of a bloodline of magick practitioners increases or decreases the success rate of a black ritual. Black rituals are popular among adrenaline seekers and occult enthusiasts because they can be performed by literally anyone. That’s what makes them scary though. I must ask though, did the ritual work for you?
Emrysia says
Did it work?
Connor says
Please let the ghost paper challenge work? I really want to try it as well. Please let me know if it did work.
sarah says
Does this have to be done at 3am or anytime?
Spencer says
Think of it like this: if you were supposed to work in the middle of the night, would you like to be disturbed by extra work with no warning?
Connor says
Well, 3 am and 4 am is the devils hour. So I would say anytime a 3 am but before 4 am.
vera says
Is it okay to have bystanders or pets in the house?
SuperCaligro says
Bystanders are allowed, so long as all of you remain congregated as a whole in one room for one night. Pets could possibly become disruptive if they are a cat, dog, or basically any pet animal capable of roaming on its own or making noise. They should remain in the room with you however, in case harm could come to them. Non-participating residents of the building should probably lock themselves in their rooms for the night as well, in case they accidentally interrupt.
Connor says
I have 3 cats at home. Let’s just hope the ghost paper challenge won’t harm or hurt them. Fingers crossed.
Tamien says
Hmm, it’s almost been 5 days since Purple Girl The Horror Fan said she would try this then report back. I suppose she still has time. Think she followed all of the rules correctly?
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
I’m baaaaaaack! Go read my response up there!
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
I actually couldn’t get back earlier because my internet connection went to shit.
Mark says
I wanna know what happens if you open the door before sunrise. Call me crazy, but I have Cero Miedo.
SuperCaligro says
Well, I’d assume nothing good. No telling what’s answering your questions on the other side. When it comes to fortune telling/question answering entities (or all-knowing entities in general, really), they’re typically docile to a certain extent. If you provoke them, they just might render you incapable of being able to even process what they’ve told you. Other times, they do what they are summoned to do but cause harm indirectly. This is why in a lot of cases, you’re not allowed (err, not supposed to) to look at them. They can cause you to become blind, paralyzed, petrified, they can induce insanity, and probably lots of other possiblities. Sometimes, looking at them or exposing yourself is all they need to give them the drive to attack you, should they be capable of doing so.
Emo-wolfey-103 says
Watch Stromedy aka Kyle Godfrey. One of his videos does him breaking all of the rules.
Connor says
Seen that.
Lukas says
Nothing good will come from you opening said door during this ritual, I can assure you of that…
Eriz says
Creepy.
sd says
I initially read the title as “Ghost Pepper Challenge”, which does sound like a potentially dangerous game, just not the sort usually covered on this site.
pixie says
That could also be a scary game that could kill you.
Connor says
I don’t know about kill you. But I do know that they hunt you.
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
That would’ve probably been about who can eat (or sniff) the largest amount of ghost pepper lmao.
Mayflower says
lol…
Step One:
Prepare salt water. Eradicate your house of all things that are commonly used to relieve heat.
Can anyone continue this, one step per person?
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
Step 2: Get some ghost pepper. The more the number of players, the larger amount of ghost pepper is needed.
Jess says
Step 1A:
Shut down your house water line. Might as well since it IS a method of relieving heat.
Step 2:
Before you prepare the ritual at precisely 6:66 PM (which is basically 7:06 PM lmao), go out and buy yourself plenty of Blaire’s Hot Sauces (or any hot sauce in particular, the hotter the sauce, the greater the challenges). In addition, gather up some crushed and dried Ghost Peppers for the summoning and safeguard method (you could use table salt as well, though the ghost peppers add further challenge).
Katrina says
I think I may try this, though I doubt it will work. One of my friends tried and nothing happened. Thanks for such an amazing site, Lucia!
MarsMellows says
Can I ask when I’m going to die? Or is that question not toleranted to ask in this game?
SuperCaligro says
“You may ask any variety of question you please.”
Boaz Flores says
What if the paper was ripped out…what should I do…
Hailey says
If you have four people in the house and only two that are playing, will the other two that don’t play be affected or not?
Zac says
I think that means that you can ask as many as you want but be cautious because there are consequences…
fearofthewalkingdead says
I suggest you don’t say stuff like am I going to die next month? because you never know what the paper might say.
Connor says
Yes, you can. I remember on a video someone asks in the ghost paper challenge when he was going to die. And it said 21 years old. He was shocked. That meant he only had a few years left. Then he asked how was he going to die. Then the reply said accident. I don’t remember what kind of accident but I think it was a car crash accident.
Ery Baumann says
I think that happened to “Stromedy”, when he did the Challenge.
Vampire says
What happens if I open the door befors the sun has risen?
Crazy skeptic girl says
You probably going to die but that just an assumption.
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
Guys I’m doing this TONIGHT! Assume I’m dead if I don’t report back in a week. Wish me luck!
MarsMellows says
Can you comment so we all can confirm that you are alive? 😀 are you hurt?
liz says
RIP
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
Hey so I did it and… nothing happened. I tried it again the next night, …but nah. Was disappointed. But hey, this doesn’t mean it won’t work for other people either! Can someone else try this and let me know? Lol I’m literally asking you guys to put yourselves in danger…sometimes I forget that everyone isn’t crazy about ghosts like me.
~~Peace Out~~
Juan Don says
what other rituals have you tried?
Lex says
It didn’t work for me either
Emo-wolfey-103 says
I am trying it tonight!! Please tell me if it works!
Connor says
You said you were trying the ghost paper challenge right? How did it go? Please tell me the ghost paper challenge work. Sometimes I wake up to try the ghost paper challenge but I keep waking up too early or too late. Sometimes I even try to stay awake to try the ghost paper challenge but I keep falling asleep. I already have the things to try it out at home in my bedroom next to my bed.
Marissa says
Idk but stromedy did it sooooo…. I think you’ll be fine
Purple Girl The Horror Fan says
YES!!! Have been waiting to see this one here! Thank you!
Jamel says
If you are planning on playing this game (which I wouldn’t recommend), then I would suggest that we play inside your bathroom, just in case you need to go in the middle of the game. If I’m playing the game inside another room, and it says to wait until sunrise to open the door, I guess I’ll die then. I’d rather be haunted than allow my kidneys to explode.
pixie says
Good point, you also have water in case the candle sets something on fire.
Alayna says
What if you don’t have any candles?
Connor says
What if you don’t have any candles? What kind of question is that? I remember my grandmother made candles and the candles were made out of from a beehive. And it even smelled like honey.
Jamel says
Find a store that is close to you that sells them.
Queen says
I don’t think that exposing your whole house to a demon instead of the bathroom only is a really smart choice.
Ned Winston says
Today’s my birthday and I’m so happy you uploaded a ritual today! I’ve been waiting!! It’s a birthday miracle!
two girls says
Omg! I love your post. You did a great and awesome job! You’re the best.
Mella says
“Do NOT attempt to ask more than three questions. This rule remains even if there are multiple players participating.” Does this mean that if, for example, there’s three players, each gets only one question? Or does everyone still get their three questions?
SuperCaligro says
I believe it means that no more than 3 questions may be asked at all. Like, only 3 questions may be written on the piece of paper, regardless of how many of you there are.
O.D. says
I think only 3 questions in total.
Emo Voador says
You know that the ghost paper challenge can duplicate items?
Hy Jin says
But are there any side effects? Like if you were to ask it to duplicate money, would you be selling your soul?
Viktoria says
According to what I have seen, yes. The more money you duplicate the more certain is it probably for the spirit to believe you are selling your soul.
Samarth Motka says
DOES IT REALLY WORKS GUYS?
Giancarlo says
No, it all depends on what the spirit wants to do.
Giancarlo says
It is hard to believe that they can. But I am optimistic that they can. But look on Youtube. A channel named ‘Stromedy’ has a video of his $100 dollar bill getting duplicated. But he said in the end of the video that, obtaining items that have been duplicated had consequences. Personally half of me believes and half doesn’t.
Connor says
I remember I seen on a video and Jay Station got the Spirit of the Ghost to duplicate his 1 money into lot of money.
Debra says
Yes but you technically sell its soul to the “spirit” or “demons” on the other side of the door.
Robert says
Is it ok to ask if you can ask more?
Connor says
I remember Jay Station was playing the ghost paper challenge with one of his pros and the Spirit of the Ghost said they can ask 3 questions each.
Bella says
Jaystaition put a camera in the room one time
Mark Abboud says
Jaystation is a fake channel. None of his videos are real.
Iconus says
The instructions are very clear – three questions only. Whether it is one person or a hundred people playing, they are allocated a total of three questions for the whole group.
Giancarlo says
No, simply every person gets three questions. On Youtube,there is a video of Stromedy and ImJayStation. And the spirit provided SIX questions. If the video is actually real or if the Ghost Paper is real all together.
Liz says
No, each can only have one question.
Nevaeh says
No you get three questions each I tried it with my bff
Kaylee says
Everyone still gets their three questions if there is more than one player.
Lydia McKinley says
I really don’t want to know what would happen if you broke any or all the rules except for the begin shortly before 3am one.
Nash says
JayStation broke all the rules and it was pretty bad. But most of his videos are faked anyways
Zac says
Not all of them. I mean, I can see how some of them are fake, but in some of them, he calls 911 and idk how you’d fake that.
Zoe says
True. Just don’t break the rules ever.
Aastha sati says
Not all videos but some… As you’d know that the ghost paper ritual done by him was true, so don’t break any of the rules or it will take your whole life or also you will be cursed
blah blah says
i saw this one video and the guy broke the rules and then the spirit said if he broke them BURN and the dude did not know what that meant and he broke a rule and the paper burned so he concluded if you broke more than one maybe the spirit would burn your house down or something like that.
Connor says
I have seen that video before. It made me wonder how did that paper burn when there was nothing burnable in his bathroom?
Spirtgurl says
Ya mean Stromedy?
Magic Kingdom Snake says
What would happen if the candle went out?
Jari says
I think the candle isn’t for protection, but just so you can write and read? As you need to be in the dark, a candle is the most effective way. But who knows! Probably something bad!
Cindy says
Can you ask it for wishes or desires??
Debra says
Yes you can even ask it to multiply your money but it thinks you have sold your soul to them.
Pamela says
Does that mean we haven’t sold our soul ? He just think we did
christian says
could we get possessed by it?
Lisa says
I tried the ghost paper challenge this morning at 3:00 am and the third time I did not receive my paper for some reason. I got a horrible headache in time period of the challenge
Marissa says
I might do it tonight or next weekend but I know I’m not doing it alone
Lex says
That could mean the spirit was trying to attach itself to you
Halle says
Can you do this challenge more than once?
Jack says
I don’t think you can put money in there 🤑🤑🤑😲😲😲
Abby says
I think so, u can ask him to duplicate money I know that for sure.
Kai says
The candle is there for a sign when a spirit is there when it flickers. If you have two it will attract powerful spirits and from what I’ve seen on stromedy’s videos if you have more people the questions multiply by how many people you have .
Moises says
You relight the candle as fast as you can.
Alonzo says
You have to relight it as fast as you can.
Connor says
What do you think will happen if we don’t relight the candle? Will the ritual be over? Will something bad might happened?
Alex says
Something very bad will happen
Tayla Cain says
Something bad is gonna happen
Abbie says
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR WHILST PLAYING THE GAME OR AFTERWARDS. YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAYLIGHT. THE SPIRIT OF THE DOOR DOESN’T LIKE TO BE SEEN. THE CANDLE IS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU’RE WRITING BUT IT IS ALSO WHAT ALLOWS THE SPIRIT OF THE DOOR TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME FOR FUN. Always just use a Candle for lighting, put the paper and pen halfway through the door, if the paper does not move then you’ve done the Ritual wrong. Say that you’re sorry, thank the Spirit Of The Door and blow out the candle. If it is not yet daylight, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. It has to be at exactly Three AM when you knock on the door Three times and say the Ritual THREE times. I have been doing this ritual since I was young. My Great Great Grandmother used to tell stories about this Ritual. No one in my family since has tried it. Until me. You have to have a clear mind when you do this. Be careful when you do this Ritual. It can be very dangerous. DO NOT ANGER THE SPIRIT OF THE DOOR. There are only three rules to this….
1. Don’t anger The Spirit Of The Door
2. Don’t open the door
3. Don’t turn on any lights until the three questions have been answered, you said thankyou and the candle has been blown out.
Good Luck.
Connor says
What do you think will happen if we open the door while doing the challenge or before the sun come up? If I had to guess I’ll say something bad might happened. Like noises for example. What do you think?
Daria Howard says
Probably he/she or it will haunt you or maybe you’ll see he/she or it (don’t take it badly I just don’t know what it wants to be called)
Fox says
You will be cursed for all eternity until you die
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾Cheyenne☽༓・*˚⁺‧͙ says
Perhaps you will be able to see the spirit you were talking to and they will haunt you for eternity, along with an ominous misfortune.
Betta says
What would happen if you asked more than 3 questions, opened the door before sunrise or started at say 4/5am??? What would you see? what could you do? would you die? I’m thinking about doing this on my channel, I need to know!
Spirtgurl says
Asking it more than three questions it just sends the paper back to you,you open the door he/she or it will get out,it won’t work at 4 or 5am
Debra says
Possession is what happens because you are technically disrespecting it.
Donald says
If you open the door during the ritual or open the door before sunlight you will get attacked
Tylar says
Can you use a lamp to do the ritual or will that fail?
Lana says
Wow that’s creepy
Anthont says
What kind of paper do you need?
ItMe says
do not proceed
