- “Prove You're the Best.”
- ―The Scare Games' slogan.
The Scare Games is a competition with different events to put a monster's scaring skills to the test. It is pivotal in the 2013 Disney/Pixar animated film, Monsters University.
Background
In the film's universe, the Scare Games were founded by Abigail Hardscrabble when she was a student of MU, and she won them four years in a row. Only fraternities and sororities can compete in the competition, and each must have at least six monsters on the team, even if one member is actually more than two beings sharing a body, as was the case in Terri and Terry Perry. In the film, six teams competed:
