ALBAWABA - A new game called Five Nights at Epstein’s has gone viral on social media, with the premise of surviving five nights without being assaulted by the late sex offender.
The horror game set in "Little Saint James" is a spin-off of the popular horror franchise, Five Nights at Freddy’s, that involves players monitoring air vents and security cameras to survive the night without being sexually assaulted or attacked by Jeffrey Epstein.
Five Nights at Epstein’s incorporates real photos from the recently released Department of Justice files, including the bathroom, kitchen, and the late sex offender's bedrooms. Players can look into different rooms by monitoring the security cameras, which emulate a real CCTV surveillance system.
What is Five Nights at Epstein’s? Parents concerned over viral game
The official website described the game:
"Defend Yourself Against Epstein. Epstein always starts at Cam 11. Use the camera's audio lure to keep Epstein far away from you. Make sure the camera you're playing the sound in is next to the camera where Epstein is. Playing sound in only one spot will not work if you do it twice or more in a row. Using the audio lure too much will lead to the cameras breaking. To fix them, head to the control panel and restart the cameras like you just did. Epstein does not attack through the vents, so don't bother closing them for this night."
The game quickly went viral and later flooded US and global classrooms, with players as young as 13 filming themselves playing it to post it on TikTok and YouTube.
Five Nights at Epstein’s can be played via browser and is available on multiple domains, sparking concern among parents globally.
According to ABC4, a concerned mother of a Granite School District student took to social media about her son playing the game at school. She told ABC4, "He mentioned the game, and it caught me off guard, and so I asked him about it, and he told me that it was a game he had played at school."
She added, "It absolutely disgusts me and breaks my heart that our children are subject to this, especially in this day and age."
