Exciting Halloween Games! Ideas That Kids and Adults Alike Will Love (21–30)
Halloween Egg Roulette
Back in the day, you often saw “candy pull” games at festivals, where a piece of candy was tied to the end of a string.
This game, which offers a similar thrill, is sure to liven up your Halloween.
Attach a cup to the end of each string and put a small gift inside the cup.
The fun comes from the excitement of choosing—“Which string should I pull?” “What’s inside the cup?”—and discovering the surprise.
If you include not only gifts but also special cards like “Pull again,” it’s sure to get everyone excited!
Balloon tape remover
This is a game where you peel off tape stuck to a balloon without popping it.
You can enjoy the thrill of wondering whether it will pop or not.
It’s easy to set up, so you can play it casually.
Highly recommended for Halloween parties with small children.

Pumpkin Golf
This “Pumpkin Golf” is a game idea that uses a real pumpkin.
Cut off the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the insides.
Don’t throw away the piece you cut off—you’ll use it.
Once it’s hollowed out, set the pumpkin down and use it as the cup, like in golf.
Then place the cut-off top in front of the cup at an angle as an obstacle, and you’re ready to go! Use a spatula or similar tool to hit the ball, bounce it off the obstacle in front of the cup, and aim to sink it! A pumpkin-shaped bucket could work as a substitute, too.
The Great Race of the Cat and the Mouse
Dice games that everyone can enjoy, regardless of age or gender, are great, aren’t they? The one I’d like to introduce is “Cat & Mouse: The Great Race.” It’s a dice game themed around a chase between a cat and mice.
Players move their pieces according to the number rolled and collect cheese, but when a cat face is rolled, the cat advances—and if it catches up to you, you lose.
It’s a game where strategy really matters, so try tackling it while cooking up various plans.
Skeleton Jenga
Just as the name suggests, it’s Skeleton Jenga! Instead of regular Jenga, the wooden sticks you stack are bone-shaped, and there’s a skull face on the top.
When it comes to Halloween, pumpkins, skeletons, and black cats are so cute as motifs that they alone can get you excited!
Who did what where game
The “Who, Where, What” game follows the themes of “who,” “where,” and “what.” Participants each write one item on a piece of paper for each category.
For example: “a friend,” “at home,” “plays a game.” Once everyone is done, put the papers into their respective boxes, draw one from each, and connect them in the order of “who,” “where,” and “what” to make a sentence.
Since you combine entries written by different people, the sentences get pretty funny.
If you add a rule like “You have to actually do only the final sentence!” it’s sure to get lively!
