Grest Typing Challenge

I was heading down to the third floor of a school since I had some task to do. It was in a computer room, and I was looking for the person who needed to talk to me. They showed me to a computer where the Pale Moon browser was open to something called "Grest Typing Challenge", and a big grey button was floating that said "ready" on the screen. Upon clicking it, it asked me what kind of topic I liked, so the lady who was with me asked and I said sonic (obviously), and so I put it in the text box. After a few seconds I would see Sonic on screen, and then a button that said "ready" again.

This is where it began.

The typing challenged came in rounds, with each round consisting of one to four setences needed to be typed. Before typing though, a video would be shown, and it was up to me to answer the question correctly. Only thing is, I kept getting videos that didn't relate to Sonic, and instead clips of old tv shows from the 90s and 80s, which I have no knowledge on. After that, I was expected to respond, but I kept running out of time on them, so I was greeted with the sound of losing a turn/going bankrupt from Wheel of Fortune. Oh, did I mention the clips came from shows that never existed? That would make things even harder for me in the dream.

Eventually, it got to a point where instead of just "wrong answer, have sound effect and sad person image", the more I wasn't able to answer the quesrions, the more demented and creepy the images got. Here's a question I remember from the dream:

"Thomas was feeling sad, and [garbled noises coupled with the screaming of a man]. Now, what was Thomas feeling?"

"QUESTION: feeling"

"FEELING"

And the background for that question was four Sonic bumpers in the corners, with static in the background amongst a black border, and I could faintly see the text "feeling" there. Eventually I was told to hurry up in yellow text and a creepy, semi-whispering clown voice at full volume, Before I saw a pair of eyes slowly chasing towards me as the timer was nearing it's end, accompanied by some rising tones the closer the eyes got to me.
I couldn't answer since I was scared, and just froze. eventually the wrong answer sound played and I was jumpscared by the eyes.

What's uncanny was how during that question the room was black. Like, empty void pitch black, and that's when i woke up.

Remember when it asked me what I liked and I put in Sonic? For every question I got right, a clip of Sonic would play, only it wasn't from existing media. I remember on one question where I got it wrong, it didn't have the scary atmosphere but instead there was a letter for me, and it had Blaze and Sonic on it. Something about wanting to meet up with me after the challenge, with Xs and Os at the end of the letter. it was on question 5 out of 15.
As for the jumpscare, that happened when I was on question 10.

Extra notes: Yeah that was not a "great" typing challenge if it scared you to death.
