Red Door Yellow Door
Red Door Yellow Door is a psychological game that borders on having dangerous paranormal results. Also known as Door of the Mind, this game has been around for many years yet recently resurfaced in popularity thanks to viral Tik Tok videos. These videos displayed some players of the game experiencing scary scenarios.
The game Red Door Yellow Door is extremely easy to play and can be done so with a group of people, making it a popular choice during social gatherings such as slumber parties. But how do you play this game and what are the potential consequences?
How to Play Red Door Yellow Door
Step 1:
Gather your participants. You need a minimum of two people, yet you can play this game with more people present. One person should be allocated the role of the guide and one other person will play the game. Anyone else present will simply be observing.
Step 2:
Find a dark, comfortable room to play. The guide should sit on the floor with their legs crossed. The other player will lay down with their head resting in the lap of the guide, having a cushion or pillow in the guide’s lap my assist with comfort. The person laying down should raise both of their arms straight up into the air and close their eyes, which will remain closed during the duration of the gameplay.
Step 3:
Now the guide should begin to rub the other player’s temples with their fingers in a circular motion. This is used to create a relaxed state and allow that player to enter a trance. Now the guide should begin to continuously repeat “red door, yellow door, any other color door.” Anyone else in the room observing should follow along and also repeat this phrase.
Step 4:
This process is supposedly something that can induce a trance state allowing the participant to enter their own mind and explore its inner workings, though there are said to be some dangers involved in doing this. If successful, the participant should be able to visualize themselves somewhere, such as a room, and may be able to see doors around them. If they enter this state they should lower their arms to alert the others in the room of the chant’s success. This will prompt them to stop repeating the phrase from the previous step.
Step 5:
At this point, if the game has worked the guide should begin to ask questions to the participant. They will want to question them about their surroundings, where they are, what it looks like, how it makes them feel. They should also prompt activity from the participant, such as telling them which doors to go through, etc. It is in the best interest of everyone that the participant follows and responds to all of the guide’s questions.
Warnings When Playing
Some have claimed that there are potential dangers of playing the game Red Door Yellow Door, with players supposedly encountering evil within their own minds. It should be noted that the participant can be pulled out of their trance at any time by the guide simply by shaking them awake. This should be done so at any time where suspected danger is present.
Some notes to keep in mind:
- Do not trust or interact with any person or other entity present within your trance state. Some have claimed to see dark figures or men in suits. Supposedly encountering these people could bring danger to you and you should avoid them at all costs. It is best to end the game if you encounter these entities.
- You are free to move around the room or area you end up within, but it is always best to avoid anything you don’t feel right about and always listen to your guide.
- Clocks within the game are very bad and should be avoided. It is thought that a clock could permanently trap you within your trance.
- Cut the game short and wake up the participant at any stage if you feel the game is taking a dark turn. It is said if you die while in a trance state, you will die in real life.
While this game sounds scary, it is likely just a game passed around through all corners of the internet and used to invoke fear in young audiences. This game likely holds no real danger to anyone, yet if you are scared in any way, do not proceed to play.

What if we die?
Posted by Amy on November 3, 2020
I wouldn’t be too worried. While this game sounds scary, it is likely just a game passed around through internet and used to invoke fear in young people. This game likely holds no real danger to anyone. I played it and I was fine.

is it ok to let the person that is is going into their mind know all of the things to avoid? this might lead them to think about it
Posted by Amy on November 7, 2020
It’s a good point – I guess that’s one way to approach it.
Posted by Miles on November 5, 2020
Well if u say we will die in real life WHY was it made….oh and how did u find out that happens hmmmmmm?
Posted by Amy on November 7, 2020
That is only the myth. As you see, when we played it nothing happened, so the game is likely fabricated to scare children.
Posted by Lorelei on November 5, 2020
Is this game really real or is it just to scare kids, because it didnt work when I tried to play it.
Posted by Amy on November 7, 2020
Most likely to scare kids I would think, you can see how it went for us in my video.

What if we see people or just one person but there face only?what if we see clocks?
Posted by Amy on November 7, 2020
The game was likely invented to scare kids. As you see when we played, nothing sinister really happened. Mind you, I didn’t see any clocks, so I guess we were safe.

What would the black-figured guy do to you if you interact with him?
Posted by Amy on November 8, 2020
Supposedly encountering these people could result in harm. However, while this sounds scary, the game was likely invented jut to invoke fear in young audiences. I don’t believe the game has any real danger to anyone, yet if you are scared in any way, do not proceed to play.

Well it doesn’t seem like its trying to scare young people since something did go wrong while playing this game, a girl and her brother played this and it took a bad turn when she couldn’t wake her brother up; he’s still in a coma I think.

Are you sure? I haven’t seen any evidence that this is true.
Posted by Dylan Leuck on November 10, 2020
would the people talk back or just harm you? in what way would they harm you
Posted by Amy on November 11, 2020
Some believe the game is dangerous, but I didn’t have anything bad happen when I played.
Posted by dylan on November 10, 2020

Posted by Amy on November 14, 2020
No I couldn’t physically feel anything while playing this game, and I don’t believe anything can harm you.

What happens if you see the black entity does it chase you or do something to you i just heard about this game a week ago i wanna try it. is it safe to do it at school?
Posted by Amy on November 18, 2020
It is unclear what happens if you see the black entity and interact with it, though the stories say it is dangerous. I think it is possible it was just made up to scare young people. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading. Don’t forget that the stories are only myths. This game has not been proven to be harmful to anyone. Take care.

I kind of want to play this game, im only at the age of 14 and i dont know if its safe for me, Im not scared of course. But, i really want to know whats inside my subconscious mind
Posted by Amy on November 18, 2020
It is possible it was made up to scare young people, and likely isn’t real. There has been no known incidents of anyone actually being harmed while playing this game.
Posted by VINCENT ELLIOTT on November 21, 2020
Umm hey should I play this with my brother I’m 12 honestly idk if I should it doesn’t sound scary it takes a lot to scare me
Posted by Amy on November 23, 2020
Hi Vincent, anyone can play it. I think it was likely made up to scare young people as there haven’t been any proven cases where anyone has been harmed and when we played it was perfectly innocent. All the best.
Posted by Lily on November 23, 2020
I’m ten and I really wanna play it but I’m getting a bit scared what do I do???
Posted by Amy on November 27, 2020
If you’re scared I recommend not playing this game. I play it so you don’t have to. Check out my video.
