Survival of the Smartest

In Survival of the Smartest, you don't just run away—you have to answer correctly to survive. This is a first-person psychological horror game where each question becomes a life-or-death sentence. The space is a dark school, with no one but you, dim lighting, and doors waiting for a verdict.

How to play Survival of the Smartest

You walk through each room, and at each turn a question appears. Your decision ultimately determines the outcome.

• If you choose correctly, you continue, the lights stay on, and nothing happens.
• If you choose incorrectly, the lights flicker, suspicious sounds are heard—banging on the door, mysterious screeching in the distance—and then you are no longer alone.

The more you answer incorrectly, the more haunting the environment becomes: darkness spreads, creepy sounds follow, and something is chasing you from behind.

Things You Should Know (If You Want to Survive)

• The game uses questions from many fields: geography, literature, popular culture... and even troll questions.
• Sometimes the question is simple, like "Who was the first US President?", other times it is "What song is this?" accompanied by strange sounds like "Ooooohohohohuhuhuhuhu?"
• You have to choose the answer by turning into the hallway with the answer.
• Each incorrect response intensifies the dark force's presence, manifesting as an increase in sound, light, and pursuit speed.
• If you answer too many wrongly, you will be captured by the ghost and the game ends.

Unlike simple horror games, Survival of the Smartest is a real brain teaser. It's not just running—you have to think, remember, and stay calm when everything around you is falling into chaos.

If you want to try a game where intelligence is a weapon of survival, this is the test for you. If you like action-orientated horror games, Super Dark Deception is the next game you should try.
