Exciting Halloween Games! Ideas That Kids and Adults Will Love (11–20)
Pumpkin Carrying
These days, around Halloween, you can find pumpkins in all sorts of varieties and sizes for decorations.
How about trying a game that uses those pumpkins—Pumpkin Relay? Prepare small and large pumpkins, carry them, and play a relay race.
The pumpkin takes the place of the baton.
For little kids, use small pumpkins—choose sizes appropriate for the players’ ages.
After you play, the pumpkins can double as decorations, so it’s a win-win.
Silhouette Quiz
“Silhouette Quiz” is a game where you watch only a person’s shadow and guess what they’re doing.
It’s similar to a charades game, but when it’s just a shadow you can’t see things like the mouth or eyes, so the difficulty goes up even more! For a kids’ Halloween party, it might be even more fun—and suitable for a wider range of ages—to project the shadows of objects instead of people and have participants guess what they are!
Halloween illustration spot-the-difference
Two kinds of Halloween illustrations will be shown.
Let’s find the differences between the two pictures.
For several seconds, the illustrations will pause—use that time to spot the differences.
The music has a cute Halloween vibe, so even small children are likely to enjoy it.
Blow out the fire with the devil’s breath
It’s a game where you compete to see how many candles you can blow out from a distance using an air cannon.
You can easily make an air cannon by cutting a round hole in an empty box and sealing the edges firmly with duct tape.
If you put dry ice inside, the air that shoots out becomes visible, making it even more exciting.
Blood Taste Guessing Game
Dracula drinks human blood, right? This is a game inspired by that idea.
But don’t worry—we’re not actually drinking blood! You mix things like Death Sauce or doubanjiang into tomato juice, and players have to guess what was mixed in.
It’s a tough game for people who aren’t good with spicy foods.
Halloween Bowling
How about trying a game of bowling? That said, let’s make a handmade bowling set with a Halloween theme to liven things up.
Use toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls, cover them with orange, black, or purple construction paper, and add eyes and mouths made of origami to create Halloween-style pins like jack-o’-lanterns, devils, and skeletons.
Decorating them with sparkly pipe cleaners or beads is cute, too, and making them together with the kids will be a lot of fun.

Skipping Halloween, just plop.
https://www.tiktok.com/@ouchiasobi_mii/video/7555765447929482514Make a paper-cup cracker and a cellophane tape target to liven up your Halloween party.
First, the paper-cup cracker is easy: cut out the bottom of a paper cup and attach a balloon to it.
Balloons can come off easily, so secure them firmly with duct tape or similar.
Pull the balloon back to launch the pellets.
For a target that the pellets will stick to, just cover it with cellophane tape.
Try making pumpkin heads or ghost-shaped targets for a Halloween vibe.
Using orange or purple pellets will boost the Halloween feel even more.
