Flashfright is a 1-vs.-3 minigame from Mario Party 7. Its name is a pun on "flashlight."

Introduction

The team reaches a courtyard, being chased by the solo player as the gate closes.

Gameplay

The game takes place at night in a castle courtyard decorated by several Shy Guy statues. The solo player runs around with a flashlight, trying to catch the team players, who must use their environment to avoid capture. Players caught in the light are eliminated immediately, with a Fly Guy appearing to carry them off. If any of the group players manage to avoid detection for 30 seconds, they win. The solo player wins if they manage to catch all of the team players.

Ending

If the solo player wins, they will do their victory animation as the other three are carried away by Fly Guys. If the group players win, the solo player will look around and walk out of the courtyard while the group players perform their victory animations behind them.
