Free Gorilla Tag Horror Games That Are Scary And Fun

Gorilla Tag is a ton of fun. There are all sorts of maps and places to explore, and while a few like the Gorilla Tag caves map are a little spooky at times, they’re not really scary.

Well if you want to have a scary Gorilla Tag experience you’ve come to the right place. There are some Gorilla Tag knock offs and mods that are a lot like the base game, but they aren’t afraid to be as spooky, scary, and downright horrifying as they can be.

If you want to play Gorilla Tag, but scary, then try one of these Gorilla Tag horror games. They’re all guaranteed to make you shiver with fear! (But in a fun way)

All of these Gtag games have the same kind of movement that Gorilla Tag does, and you can get all of them on the Meta App Lab, so you won’t need SideQuest for any of these. Just look up the name in the Meta Store and install it. Oh, and these are all all free Gorilla Tag games!

Big Scary

If you want a Gtag horror game then Big Scary is the first place you should look. It’s by far the smoothest, most finished feeling, and most fun of all the scary Gorilla Tag games out there. It’s also much longer than the other Gtag horror games and has a ton of levels and features.

So once you start the game you leave the room you start in and notice that it’s really really dark. Luckily you’ve got a mining helmet with a flashlight on it. Of course that light is only so bright, and only goes so far.

The darkness helps make Big Scary as frightening as it is. It’s always dark, but you can still see in front of you thanks to the light. Though you can always see the glowing eyes of the monsters hiding in the darkness.

What makes Big Scary so much fun is that it’s not just about running from the monsters. As you go through the levels in the game you’ve got to make sure the monsters don’t catch you and solve a simple puzzle or complete an objective at the same time.

You have to complete the objective to get to the next level and they can be all sorts of things like finding an item and using it, or pressing some buttons. If a monster catches you then you lose.

It’s also a really scary Gorilla Tag horror game, though it would be nice if it had levels that were a little less flat. It would be more fun to run away from the monsters, and more scary if there were more interesting things in your way for you to climb over or objects to climb around to try and escape.

Each level in Big Scary has an objective you complete while staying alive, which is really unique in Gtag horror games

Big Scary is the best Gtag horror game out there, but it’s lost some of what makes the original Gorilla Tag fun. Still, this is the best and largest Gtag horror game out there. It’s the biggest scary of them all.

ExperiApe

ExperiApe is a really straightforwardly scary Gtag horror game.

When you start the game and walk out of the first room you automatically join a public lobby, and I’ve always found a full one without any problems. The monkey models for players are also really nice.

They look like the outline of a monkey without directly putting a monkey face .png on it or looking too much like those from Gorilla Tag to the point that they feel like a copy. These player models feel unique and still look like monkeys.

Entering the scary caves in ExperiApe, a Gorilla Tag horror game

Anyway, once you join a game it’s pretty straightforward. There’s a glowing barrier in front of a cave. When you cross it you are enter the game and your flashlight activates, which is good because the cave is extremely dark.

You’ll probably immediately notice some really strange and scary sounds coming from deeper in the cave, so you better move if they come close to you!

The whole environment is very cramped, and how small the caves are really feeds into how terrifying the monsters chasing you are. When you hear them get closer to you it’s easy to panic and run into a wall while you’re trying to get away

The caves in ExperiApe are cramped and dark, which is what makes it one of the scarier Gorilla Tag horror games

ExperiApe is a simple but really fun and free Gorilla Tag horror game that makes it harder for you to see and move in the dark and cramped caves while making you use your hearing to try and avoid the very loud monsters that lurk within it.

Stay as far away from them as you can, and don’t let them catch you for as long as you can. They sound really loud and scary, and running from them is hard and a ton of fun.

Capuchin Horror Mode

Heard of Capuchin? Well if not it’s one of the best Gorilla Tag clones out there. It’s got adorable Capuchin monkey faces for you and all of your fellow Gtag enjoyers in the game, and is generally a really fun alternative to Gorilla Tag.

While Capuchin isn’t meant as a purely horror Gorilla Tag game it does deserve a spot on this list for its horror game mode.

If you want to be chased by scary monkeys then try it out! Capuchin might not be a horror Gtag game otherwise, but this one game mode is plenty scary, and it’s free so you’ve got nothing to lose.

Scary Monkey

Scary Monkey is kind of a weird one. It’s not a fantastic scary Gorilla Tag game right now, but with some work could be pretty decent.

The first weird thing about it is how low to the ground you are, though that could be a good thing. Being small kind of makes your surroundings seem larger and a bit more scary.

Scary Monkey makes you extremely small, which makes everything around you in this Gorilla Tag horror game seem bigger and scarier by comparison

You can join a server by hitting the “Join Public” button on the terminal to connect to a public room. There weren’t a ton of people playing Scary Monkey, but enough to fill a lobby or two, and that’s all you need to enjoy a Gorilla Tag horror game.

Though Scary Monkey really relies on there being others because well… it’s not much of a horror game right now. Once you join a lobby there are a series of huge rooms and hallways for you to run around through but not much that is scary inside of them.

Most of the map is just… empty, but the game is still clearly being worked on and new things seem to be planned to be added. Despite the general emptiness the scary parts that are there are REALLY scary. All I managed to find while playing Scary Monkey were a few of these Gorilla Tag ghosts running around, making loud and terrifying noises while chasing me.

Being ambushed by these ghosts in Scary Monkey is terrifying

Running through the huge empty hallways being chased by these ghosts was extremely intense and very scary. When I was doing that I felt just how afraid a Gorilla Tag horror game could make me, and thought that Scary Monkey might end up being one of the best Gorilla Tag horror games.

It’s just that after running into that ghost once or twice there was nothing else that was scary at all about it, just a map that looked like some sort of underground facility. There were some intersting objects spread around to give the rooms some character, but not much to actually do.

Hopefully, with some more work Scary Monkey can be a very scary Gorilla Tag game.

Anyway, that’s it for the scariest free Gorilla Tag horror games around. Honorable mention to the original Gorilla Tag Horror, which unfortunately isn’t around anymore, but maybe one of the spinoffs and copycats of it will be as scary and interesting as the original. Another honorable mention to Scary Monke Horror, which seemed scary and interesting, but there were no other players every time I tried it.

Whichever of these Gorilla Tag scary games you try out, enjoy!
