Key Takeaways
- Piglet’s Big Game has gone viral due to its surprisingly horror-like elements.
- Now, a player has discovered that intentionally taking damage in the game makes Piglet run faster.
- This means that to speedrun the game, you should be aiming to keep Piglet on the verge of death at all times.
Piglet’s Big Game has taken the world by storm… more than 20 years since its launch. This unassuming little licenced game has become an online sensation after it was labelled “baby’s first Silent Hill”, and after taking just a quick look at the gameplay, it’s easy to see why.
For some reason, one of the levels in Piglet’s Big Game is oddly terrifying. The music and aesthetics seem that they would be much more at home in Silent Hill or Resident Evil than in a Disney game. And as players explore this unlikely horror hit, it only gets worse: the game rewards you for harming Piglet.

Better yet, it seems that this isn’t just Piglet’s normal running animation sped up, but a new one altogether. This suggests that the devs very much threw this in on purpose. It’s likely there to help players get out of danger, but I’m also a fan of the fact that it makes Piglet look absolutely terrified, only adding to this secretly being a horror game.
If you want to pick up a copy of Piglet’s Big Game, you won’t be alone. Resellers have upped the price since there was a surge in demand, which as we reported earlier in the week, has led to a price increase of 1,500 percent in some cases. However, that’s only because it was priced so low beforehand, and you can still find it at prices of around $60. Some are starting to push the boat out even more though, putting it up for more than $500 in one Ebay listing.
