"A child's room

is where you scare,

"but avoid

the toxicity lurking there."

Wait a minute.

Where do they want us to meet?

Of all the sewers on campus,

this one has always been my favorite.

Art, you've been here before?

I have a life outside of the house,

you know.

Welcome to your

worst nightmare,

the Scare Games!

Scare Games! Scare Games!

Yes!

Yes, I love it!

I love this energy!

Okay. Okay, everybody.

Let's hear it for the frats and sororities

competing in

this year's games...

Jaws Theta Chi!

Python Nu Kappa!

Slugma Slugma Kappa!

Roar Omega Roar!

Eta Hiss Hiss!

And finally, Oozma Kappa.

Yay! Whoo-hoo!

Hi, Mom!

Smile!

Let's begin

the first competition,

the Toxicity Challenge!

Human children are toxic!

And anything

they touch is toxic.

We don't have any human toys,

but thanks to MU's

biology department,

we found a close second,

the stinging glow urchin!

Trust me when I say,

you are not gonna want

to touch this bad boy!

I want to touch it.

And you certainly don't want

to touch any of its friends.

Yeah, I want to touch them.

This is the starting line.

The light at the end of the

tunnel is the finish line.

And whoever comes in last is

eliminated from the games.

Mike...

What is it?

Does that mean if

we lose, we're out?

Don't worry, Smoothie.

Squishy!

Squishy.

We're not going to lose,

because we have everything

we need to win right here.

Heart.

No! Me. I'm going to

win the race for us.

All right, all right.

That's very cute,

but move, move, move.

I'm going to win this.

It's an obstacle course.

What are you going to do? Roar at it?

I can get through faster than you,

little guy.

Take your place at

the starting line!

This is all about teamwork.

Everybody, stick together.

I'm going to beat you

over that finish line.

Get ready to eat my dust.

Hey, guys, should we huddle up?

Attention, teams.

One last thing.

Scarers work in the dark.

I want to go home!

On your marks...

Hey, uh, good luck, ladies.

Thanks! We're going to

rip you to pieces!

What?

Get set...

Go!

I'm going to touch them!

Ow!

Come on!

Uh, guys!

We're falling behind a little! Fellas!

Cheese and crackers!

Son of a moustache!

Salisbury steak, that hurts!

Is that as fast as you can go?

Just getting started!

What the...

Whoa! Ah!

Oh... Ah!

That's got to hurt!

Ow, ow, ow...

Ooh!

Terry!

Don't worry, we'll be fi...

Ha-ha!

Oh...

Uh-oh. Yikes!

Ow! Ow, ow, ow...

Roar Omega Roar wins!

Take that, Wazowski!

Are you delirious?

I beat you!

Get your eye checked!

Oh, way to blow it, Oozmas!

Hey! Second place

ain't bad.

Second place, Jaws Theta Chi!

What?

Your whole team has to

cross the finish line.

Third place, EEKs!

- Fourth place, PNKs!

- No.

Fifth place, HSS!

No, no, no!

And in last place,

Oozma Kappa.

I can't feel my anything.

Oh... Shocker! Oozma Kappa

has been eliminated!

No.

Don't look so surprised,

Mr. Wazowski.

It would have taken

a miracle for you to...

Attention, everyone.

We have an announcement.

Jaws Theta Chi has

been disqualified.

The use of illegal protective

gel is cause for elimination.

What!

Which means Oozma Kappa

is back in the games!

It's a miracle!

Your luck will

run out, eventually.

This is going to be

harder than I thought.

Okay!

Listen up, Oozmas.

Now, we're going to have to start

winning these things together,

so that means I'm going to need

each of you guys

to pull your own weight.

Mike?

What is it?

We've made a list of our

strengths and weaknesses.

In high school,

I was the master of the silent scare.

I could sneak up

on a field mouse

in a pillow factory.

Sorry! They get stickier

when I'm sweaty.

Oh, my gosh, that's terrible.

We're experts in the ancient

craft of close-up magic.

It's all about misdirection.

Uh...

I have an extra toe.

Not with me, of course.

Guys, one slip-up on the next event,

and we're goners.

So for this to work,

I'm gonna need you to take

every instinct you have

and bury it deep, deep down.

Done.

From now on,

we are of one mind.

My mind.

Oh, please.

I will tell you exactly what to do,

and how to do it.

Uh... Okay, Mike.

Seems about right.

All right.

Give me scary steps.

Fifty up and down,

right now. Let's go!

You're wasting your time.

We need a new team.

We can't just "get a new team"!

I checked this morning.

It's against the rules.

What if we disguised a new team

to look like the old team?

Oh, no, no.

We are not cheating.

It's not cheating.

I'm just, you know,

leveling the playing field.

Okay, so it's kind of cheating,

but what do you want me to do?

They're not exactly the

scariest group in the world.

Oh, a ladybug!

Make a wish! Make a wish!

This is not going to work.

Where are you going?

We're training.

I'm a Sullivan.

That's not enough.

You're all over the place.

You're charging

ahead when you...

Bup, bup, bup!

You tell them what

to do but not me.

So long, Coach.

Okay, Oozmas...

Boy, we need to get you a bell.

Listen up. "If a kid hears you coming,

they'll call Mom or Dad,

"then you'd better run fast

or things will get bad."

Huh?

In the next event,

if even one of us gets caught,

we're all out.

So remember,

do exactly what I do.

We are at the

halfway point of the second event,

and things are

getting interesting.

Got it.

Only two teams left.

Who will make it

out with their flag,

and who will be eliminated?

In a real Scare,

you do not want to get

caught by a kid's parent.

And in this event,

you do not want to get caught by

the librarian.

Quiet.

What's so scary about a

little old librarian?

I said, "Quiet."

Faster.

Slow and steady.

Slow and steady.

Slow and steady.

Slow and steady.

Sullivan!

Sullivan!

Hmm.

Whew!

Ooh!

No!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Look over here!

Is that legal?

You better believe it, mop top!

The only rule is

don't get caught.

Whoo!

- Ooh!

- Hey! Over here!

Come and get me!

Come and get me! Whoo-hoo!

Guys, what are you doing?

They said don't

let her catch you.

But they didn't say how!

Move it! Move it!

Move it! Come on!

Whoa!

Whew!

We did it!

No, we didn't.

We forgot the flag!

Mike?

Way to go, Squishy!

Way to go, Squishy!

How?

Misdirection.

The EEKs have been eliminated

and Oozma Kappa live

to scare another day!

We're OK!

We're OK! We're OK!

I've never felt so alive!

We were awesome!

Okay, look.

That wasn't real Scaring.

It was better

than what you did.

You should've

stuck to my strategy.

Whatever.

Talk to me when we start

the real Scaring.

Hey! You guys

going to the party?

Oh, I think you've

got the wrong guys.

- We don't get invited to...

- Party?

The mid-games mixer

at the RORs'.

It's for the top Scare Teams.

You're one of us now, right?

See you there!

Did you hear that?

I can't believe it!

Uh-uh. Bad idea.

This is great.

They're finally seeing us as real Scarers.

We're going!

Do young people still dance?

Because my moves

are a little rusty.
