Halloween Games Ideas for Spooky Parties

Halloween Games are frightening fun during any celebration and are used for kids or adults. Play some old favorites like bobbing for apples, the haunted scavenger hunt, or see who can carve out the best jack-o-lantern. Younger participants may enjoy a pin the hat on the witch game or Halloween-inspired bingo. Adults will like being involved in murder mystery games or a scary game of trivia. The menu includes costume contests that are also very impressive.

To inject suspense, you can set up a glow-in-the-dark treasure hunt or ghost story-telling contest. These Halloween Party Games can easily be modified to suit home festivities or outdoor parties where everyone will have fun laughing, screaming, and joining in the heart-warming competitive fun.

How to Play Halloween Games

1. Halloween Scavenger Hunt

• Write out a list of Halloween supplies (plastic spiders, plastic bones, candy bags).
• Hide the things around the house or garden.
• Separate players into teams and provide them with the list of items.
• Set a clock (15-30 minutes) on the hunt.
• The group getting the highest number of items in a bag gets a Halloween-themed prize.

2. Pumpkin Bowling

• Use small pumpkins as bowling balls and use empty plastic bottles as the pins.
• With bottles that count, after the number has been confirmed, arrange the bottles in a triangle shape at the end of a hallway or a yard.
• Every player rolls a pumpkin toward the pins.
• Play like normal bowling.
• The player with the most points by the end of the 5 rounds is the winner.

3. Witch Hat Ring Toss

• Take an old witch hat and either make or buy a stand to rest it on.
• Make Glow stick or rope rings.
• Individuals, turn by turn, toss rings to land on the point of the hat.
• In an equivalent game, you will gain award points with every good toss.
• A player with the most points at the end of turns will win.

4. Mummy Wrap Race

• Separate all participants into pairs and give each two a roll of toilet paper.
• One of the players remains still, with the other one cocooning them head to toe.
• The team, which fully wraps their mummy, wins.
• To increase the fun, make them run a little way after wrapping.
• Get pictures to crack up Halloween memories.

5. Pin the Hat on the Witch

• Or make a giant witch drawing without the hat.
• Cut a witch hat and tape the back of it.
• Blink each player and spin him or her around 3 times.
• They make an effort to stick the hat in the right place on the witch.
• The winner is the closest placement, which gets a prize.
