Screamer Wiki was down earlier due to an outage relating to scrapers grabbing too many pages way too fast. This is currently being mitigated and performance should improve over the next while.

Color Maze is a classic screamer disguised as an innocent Flash puzzle game. It gained popularity on various Flash game websites in the mid-2000s and is often credited as one of the earliest maze-based screamers to go viral.
Appearance
The game begins with a calm and simple premise: the player must guide a small red dot through increasingly narrow mazes using only the mouse, avoiding touching the maze walls. The background is a relaxing blue, and the background music is a loop of ambient synths to maintain a false sense of safety.
The Screamer
At the end of level 3, just as the player maneuvers through an especially tight corridor requiring precision, the screen abruptly cuts to a zoomed-in image of a pale, bloodied woman with white eyes (often said to resemble Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist), accompanied by a loud, distorted scream. The screamer image lasts for about 3 seconds before the game ends or crashes.
Legacy
Color Maze became infamous on sites like Newgrounds, Albino Blacksheep, and eBaum's World. It was often shared among friends as a prank and has since been reuploaded to numerous YouTube "screamer reaction" compilations.
Trivia
- The game was often embedded on personal blogs and MySpace pages during its peak.
- A variant of the screamer swaps the screaming woman for a zombie and uses a higher-pitched shriek.
- Some versions falsely claim the game trains focus or coordination to lure in unsuspecting players.
