A new video game called “Epstein Clicker” is circulating on social media just days after a game called “Five Nights at Epstein” first appeared. Several parents posted this week expressing concerns about the games that emerged in the wake of the release of the notorious Epstein documents.
What do we know about the “Epstein clicker”?
Epstein Clicker is apparently a satirical indie click/place game based on Jeffrey Epstein (similar to Cookie Clicker). According to multiple TikTok videos, it was reportedly created by developers including Gh0stKn1ght, jknnkla, and FL0W. They feature dark humor, such as “resurrecting” Epstein or Epstein-themed upgrades, and features such as “Mossad Mode.”
A TikTok account (@epsteinclicker) promotes the web version of epsteinclicker.com, which contains videos showing gameplay and updates. Currently, the website says “Bandwidth Quota Exceeded.”
“This site has exceeded its monthly bandwidth quota. It must be upgraded via the Firebase console before it can start serving traffic again,” the message reads.
On Reddit, sparse; r/CookieClicker noted that Epstein files similar screenshots of Cookie Clicker (unrelated), as well as off-topic posts about Epstein-themed games in r/videogames.
“My little sister told me that her classmates are playing Epstein Clicker. BTW, they are sixth graders,” one user wrote on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
A description of the platform on itch.io, an open digital marketplace where independent creators can host, sell and download indie games, reads: “From the smoke rises…the worst resurrection imaginable: Epstinoid Beta Mk.2, a rubbery, glitchy clone built by the underworld’s budget science arm. He looks like someone tried to 3D print a scandal.”
“Five Nights with Epstein” surfaced a few days ago. It appears to be named after the video game series Five Nights at Freddy’s.
“Today, after picking up my kids from school, I noticed a group of boys in one of the classes playing a game called Five Nights on Epstein’s Island on their Chromebooks. They were laughing and joking about it. Apparently you can make a baby or little girl cry in an attempt to lure Epstein and other predators. This is disturbing for countless reasons and the school has been notified. Please talk to your kids!!!,” one concerned parent wrote on social media.
