Drug or Demon
What is Drug or Demon?
Drug or Demon is a daily browser game that asks you to sort five strange names into one of two categories: real prescription drugs or demons. A fresh set of names appears each day at midnight Eastern time. The site also mentions an endless survival format, so play can continue beyond the daily puzzle.

A sweet little five-name quiz that fits perfectly between meetings—quick, fun, and you'll know tomorrow's there if you want more.

Clever binary concept, but the challenge lies in how well it calibrates its obscurity—too easy and it's trivia, too hard and it's luck.
How to play Drug or Demon
For each name shown, choose whether you think it is an actual prescription drug or a demon. Use whatever knowledge or intuition you have to make your call. The game is best played as a quick mental test of pattern recognition and word association.
Tips & strategy
- Look for common drug-name suffixes like -mab, -prazole, or -statin, though not every real drug follows a familiar pattern.
- Demon names often have an archaic, mythological, or occult feel, so trust that impression when a name seems unusually sinister.
- Don't assume a name is fake just because it sounds strange; real drug names are often oddly constructed.
- Consider whether the name resembles words from Latin, Greek, or old religious texts, which can point toward demonic origins.
- Use process of elimination across the set of five if you are confident about a couple of names.
