What Makes Emily Wants to Play Stand Out
This is the official free mobile version of Emily Wants to Play.
It’s 11pm, and you are at the last house on your route. The lights are on, and the front door is opened. But, the windows are all boarded up and the grass is overgrown. It seems like a strange place to deliver a pizza, but at least, it looks like someone is home.
You run to the front door since it’s storming pretty bad.
“Hello!? Your pizza's here!" You announce. No one answers. There's an eerie silence.
You are getting soaked from the rain, so you hesitantly step inside the door and look around. The front door suddenly closes behind you.
You just wanted to finish this last delivery and head home for the night. Now you must figure out how to get out of this creepy house.
Freely roam the strange house and try to figure out what is going on. Three dolls and a strange girl named Emily will also start roaming the house as the hours toll by. Stay away from them, but if you do end up in a room with one, figure out how to stay alive.
This may be your last pizza delivery.
In the mobile version of Emily Wants To Play, a bad storm causes the power to go out right away. But don't worry, Emily is here to help. :)
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Pretty fun and scary and mysterious.
Hours 1 and hours 2 is too easy you to stay in a Connor the whole time and be still and wait. Hours 3 is easy but you use go to hallway it by 4 door these doors is close to you. When Coryxkenshin played this it was hard for him. We find a easy way.
Amazing game. We got this from our favorite channel from looking at old videos and it was kinda scary but cool. Fusionzgamer.
You should add a new person like a voodoo doll where you have to find a needle to poke it then it disappears.
We love how it almost gave us a heart attack.
We've beaten the game, it's real fun. Here are some tips for beginners during Hour 5 So just wait till the countdown begins, then start searching for Emily, if Kiki appears right away, stare her down till she leaves, if she appears again afterwards, ignore her but proceed with caution (be aware of your surroundings). She'll lose you eventually if you get out of sight from her too many times. KEEP IN MIND! That doing through doorways may cause a doll to appear in the room that you're entering. If it's chester, wait till he starts running, then run to the previous room, if he is still there, run into the nearest room. If it's kiki, ignore her, just don't let her touch you while you aren't looking. So just make sure you don't rush too fast to find Emily. Going through too many doorways at a time can cause a deadly combination (Like Chester and Mr Tatters for instance). If Mr. Tatters spawns. Simply stop moving and wait till he de-spawns. Once he does, proceed. As for Emily, She only spawns in one location in every room (excluding her old room, aka the one with a hole in it leading to the basement.) be aware that she does spawn in the basement though. Every time you find Emily, if Kiki appears within 90-73 seconds, take that time stare at her until she leaves, if she re-appears, ignore her and don't let her get too close until she loses you, but keep in mind dolls can spawn when you enter another room. So don't go through too many doorways at a time. Move slowly. Learn from your mistakes. And you just might be victorious.
This game has given us exactly what we needed in a simulation horror game. Thank you guys so much for this product.
Best game ever if we could put a higher rating, we would put the highest rating there could ever be needs nothing more. Its a perfect game this is perfect for our kids.
How doors randomly open and close and lights randomly go out- it drives us crazy. The design of the dolls is so scary, and their giggles are horrifying. The lore is also fantastic.
Its just the scariest game we have ever played seen and play and we been looking for one like that.
Whens Emily wants to play Again? Yk becuz Emily wants to play too, now It should be Emily wants to play again for three.
Emily wants to play the best game ever cause its really fun and its really scary and we like scary games and the person who made us like this game is CoryxKenshin.
Why its because the stuff it sounds really real and its very scary and you can barely get through it but its very fun and we hope that you buy it but dont buy it if you have nightmares because youll have straight up nightmares once you get scared by them.
You shouldnt buy the pro version a crash your game so get the free version this is pretty good.
We got jumpscared by kiki and we almost had a heart attack thats how cool this game is.
The first death was the wire Litroe girl with black hair. ILOVE IT.
This game is amazing because its scary you should play it.
If u had this game u would literally have a blast and this would be a great game for Halloween so yea lol . We RECOMMEND TRY IF U LIKE SCARY GAMES.
Its very good but also scary,we recommend playing this at night or in a dar place.
We played this gsme and it scared us so much.
There should be a live-action Ghostbusters TV show or Movie featuring everything that takes place in this game.
This game made our pants giggle everywhere! PLOGE.
Saw cory play this yeah and we wanted dheueue to play it and it was on mobile?!? Crazy anyways great game 10/10 would play again.
We got this game and well now we have nightmares.
Oh man.. Its been so long since Ive seen or heard of this game. We played it when we were 9 and now Im a teenager we loved this game.
We GOT SO SCARED THE FIRST SECOND we JOINED we LITERALLY PEED ALL OVER AND WHEN we GOT JUMPSCARED we LITTER BOXED HOPPED INTO THE AIR AND TWERKED BECAUSE we WAS SO SCARED 10/10 FEAR FACTOR HELP ME.
Great game love it Great graphics love the dolls designs you should make Emily wants to play three.
It is to scary to us and our friend.
This game is the best horror game on mobile like the graphics are so good and ofc the jump scares.
Sorry if its really long but we did research with our cousin on the game so.. Good luck (again sorry if its really long lol) EWTP Survival Guide 11 PM -Do NOT enter the basement until 4AM -Nothing will kill you at this time 12 PM -Kiki (The doll with the long black dress/hair and white skin) Is the first thing that will try to kill you -To know that she is behind/around you, she will giggle and sometimes turn off the light. If this happens turn on the light and start looking for her quickly and when you find her, stare at her till she disappears -Kiki does NOT appear at ONLY 2AM and 4AM 1AM -Mr. Tatters (A clown doll) is what will kill you now -Mr. Tatters likes to play red light green light. When he puts his hand up while playing with him, do NOT move at all. Dont even look around the room, stay completely still. To let you know that you can move now, Mr. Tatters will disappear, giving up. That means you can go about your business, (which will partially entail surviving Kiki as well) -To know if he is behind/around you, he makes a deep and creepy laugh (Uh, Uh, Uh) 2AM -Chester (A man doll with a suit) will try to kill you now -When 2 A.M. Hits, youll want to start being more mindful of doors -To know if hes behind/around you, he makes a laugh like Mr. Tatters (thats higher pitched). If you hear that, get out of that room as fast as possible. He is SUPER fast and will start to rush towards you -Three words: Stay near doors -If he chases you, go in a door and shut it. Your safe for now untill he comes again 3AM -The Trifectais were the three dolls will try to kill you. Read over the other directions if you need to about Kiki, Mr. Tatters, and Chester 4AM -Emily (The girl with dirty white hair and dirty clothes) will try to kill you now -The basement is now open (but thats not a good thing) -The three other dolls will disappear from the game at this hour. All you have to worry about now is Emily (for now) -Emilys game of choice is Hide and Seek. A timer will appear at the bottom of your screen (a little over a minute) and you must find her before the time expires. Do not turn off the lights while moving about the house. If you do so, she will ignore the timer and come to kill you and there is no defense against her whatsoever -Once shes found, you simply have to find her again over and over until the next hour begins and things get really hectic and scary 5AM -Youre in the home stretch, this is the final hour and if you can survive this youre home free. Theres just one little problem, everyone wants to get in on the game. Emily remains in play but she is now joined by all three dolls. Youll have to deal with everyones games while also keeping an eye on Emilys own Hide and Seek timer -Sometimes one of the dolls will be in the room right with Emily so make sure to deal with their game before approaching the titular enemy. If Chester happens to be in there with her quickly run out and then come back in (Emily will stay in her place) -Keep an ear out for each of the distinctive laughs to know what you have to do. Stay calm and move swiftly through the house and youll survive the night. Once 6 A.M. Hits everyone will vanish and the door will open. Each of these demonic beings had a great time, and you are welcome to return and play whenever you like Hope this helps and good luck ;).
If you are looking for a game with jumpscares in it this would be the game. We keep get jumpscared like crazy and it gives us chills down our spine. We love this game and we love getting Jumpscared.
This made us grow our phone in the air because it is so scary.
We went inside the basement not knowing anything and screamed so loud ahhahahaha.
Ok so we downloaded this game and deleted it we got scared we dont know why people downvote this game they probably aint even try It we think we also downloaded it like last year or 2years ago idk good game.
Its so cool that its super scary and the jumpscare scenes yea they were too scary but this game needs a Oscar for being the best horror game ever.
We love this game but we do feel bad for these people who died in the house we wish they didnt die bc they didnt deserve to die but we dont know if Emily is possessed bc she kills you and all and the dolls of the clown and the dummy is that the dolls who Emily was talking to? Bc we are so confused by all of that bc she died and her parents died we looked it up and said that but we dont know Im just confused.
We were very scared the jumpscare made us pee our pants we dont suggest it.
We love this game when we were with our friend we wanted to find a horror game we downloaded it because why not but then we found out it was really scary recommend if you are looking for a scary horror game and great story still beating the game tho gas game.
Omg so scary It had our heart racing and the fact we let our 8 year old sister! Play she was terrified omg but the fact that am 17 it scared the crap out of us we literary died lol this game is so fun though but it so scary when we got a jump scare we screamed so loud our lungs started to hurt but yea it really fun but it could use something to it like more scary but then if we played it we would scream so loud u couldnt hear us.
We got scared when we saw kiki and immediately closed the app quality.
Why she be killing us when light off.
Love the story and the jumpscarea.
Never again, never again, that shi scared us bruh.
Omg this is so cool, their are so many jumpscares we cant really think of a complaint but aye thats our opinion.
Really good game good JUMPSCARE.
We thought it was pretty fun but also very spookalaw like we jumped very very high into the sky.
You can go in the kitchen and open the door to the different room and you can see Emily crawling on her hands and the floor is broke and go in a she runs at you and kills you.
We love playing scary games like this one. We hope you play it and enjoy it like we did.
This game is very fun and it has a long attention span, its creepy and fun the game is pretty good quality and it has a good story & characters 10/10 would recommend.
For anyone who wants to play this game we recommend you play with headphones and at night for a real scare theres jump-scares dolls and even basements. When we were a little kid we hated basements but if your to scared be with your friend or a family member. Its a really nice experience.
