Exciting Halloween Games! Ideas That Kids and Adults Will Love (61–70)
Human Body Model Bomber Game
It’s a game themed around the human body model you find in science labs.
Eerie music plays, and the visuals are a bit creepy.
You draw a card and have to fit the organ written on it into the model correctly.
If you fail to fit it properly, the model starts to shake and all the organ pieces go flying.
The way they burst out is dramatic, so it can be a bit startling.
Costume Contest
When it comes to Halloween, costumes are definitely what make things exciting.
These days, dressing up is the main event—lots of people put on costumes to hit the town or go to parties, and it really brings the energy up.
How about holding a contest where all participants dress up? From little kids to adults, everyone can wear a costume and take turns coming on stage to introduce themselves and highlight the best points of their outfit.
Then everyone can vote for their favorite costume, and we’ll prepare a prize for the winner.
Having a prize definitely makes it way more exciting (lol).
Costume Confession Game
The “Costume Confession Game” is a game where women dress as men and men dress as women to confess their love.
The judge decides the winner based on which confession made their heart flutter more.
Since it’s Halloween, you can go bold—like dressing up as a character the judge loves.
If you choose a character costume, try imitating that character’s personality and way of speaking when you confess!
Costume guessing game
As Halloween approaches, there are so many costume items on sale these days.
Here’s a game that uses masks: close your eyes, put on a mask, and guess which character you’re wearing.
If it’s too hard, people around you can give hints.
Then keep the mask on and enjoy the party!
Water-gun target game
These days, a variety of water guns are sold at variety shops, and many families probably used them for pool play in the summer.
If you have a space where you can play with water guns, how about trying a water-gun target game? Stick papers with point values on a wall and compete by shooting them with water guns.
You could draw pumpkins and ghosts next to the points to boost the Halloween mood.
Set a time limit and see who can score the highest!
Who’s the Ghost? Game
This is a simple, exciting game you can play with just one sheet, called “Who’s the Ghost?” Split into two teams.
The team giving the problem leaves the room for a moment, and one member of that team comes back with a sheet draped over their head.
The other team discusses and tries to guess who the ghost—the person under the sheet—is.
Since the sheet covers the head, the only obvious clue is height, making it tricky, so asking questions and interacting is allowed.
Decorating the sheet with a ghost design would be cute, too.
Let’s answer the prompt!
Prepare plenty of small slips of paper with prompts written on them and fold them up.
On each slip, write an activity that’s likely to liven things up.
It’s nice to tailor the content to the participants, such as “sing a song” or “do an impression.” Especially if you’re playing with children, you can choose easier tasks to write down.
If it’s only adults, you could even include dare-like challenges.
