Tip: Use sand timers to limit each round to 60 seconds. It adds urgency, making the game fast-paced and more intense. 2. Witch’s Brew Taste Test: A Blindfolded Guessing Game
Mix up a range of Halloween-themed drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Blindfolded guests will take sips and try to guess each drink’s main ingredients.
3. Pumpkin Weight Guessing Game: Start with a Simple Challenge
Place a large pumpkin at the entrance and let guests guess its weight upon arrival. This game breaks the ice and adds a festive touch to your lineup of spooky party activities. It gives guests something fun to do as they enter, setting the tone for the night.
4. Halloween Costume Contest: A Spooky Showcase
Encourage guests to show off their best costumes and let everyone vote in categories like “Most Original” or “Scariest.” If you’re looking for Halloween costumes contest ideas, consider adding categories like “Funniest” or “Best DIY” to keep the competition exciting. Costumes add to the party’s atmosphere, and voting keeps it fun and competitive.
5. Monster Freeze Dance: Old-School Fun with a Halloween Spin
Nothing breaks the ice like dancing. Play Halloween-themed music like Thriller and Monster Mash, and let guests freeze when the music stops. Anyone who moves is out, adding an element of suspense with each pause.
6. Mummy Wrap Relay: Racing to the Finish
Divide your guests into teams and hand each team a toilet paper roll. They’ll wrap one team member as a “mummy” as fast as possible. The first team to fully wrap their mummy wins.
7. Frightful Trivia: Who Knows Halloween Best?
Split guests into teams for a Halloween trivia game that covers horror films, urban legends, and Halloween history. Add questions about classic horror movies or spooky Halloween facts so everyone can participate.
8. Spooky Scavenger Hunt: A Race Against Time
Hide Halloween-themed items like fake spiders, skulls, and small potions around the party area. Each item has a point value, and guests race to collect as many as possible before time runs out.
