Clear missions and get some treats!

It’s a game like an escape game where you clear various missions to get the ultimate prize: sweets.
Prepare missions with difficulty levels appropriate for your child’s age.
Of course, include simple puzzle quizzes, but also things like crawling through tunnels or searching for treasures needed to clear a mission.
If the quiz missions are too hard to clear, try giving hints to guide them toward success.
After they complete everything, it’s snack time for everyone!
Halloween Bingo
A classic party game everyone knows—Bingo—reimagined with a Halloween twist.
Instead of using the usual numbers, you play Bingo with character stickers and the like, which really gets kids excited.
After the game ends, you can cut it along the grid into separate pieces and play a matching game (Concentration), which can be lots of fun too.
It’s an easy-to-make, recommended game that shows how a small tweak can turn a popular game into one that fits your event perfectly.
Mummy Wrapping Game
Even if you’re not dressed up for Halloween, you can still become a mummy in this game! Wrap toilet paper around someone’s body to transform them into a mummy.
Form groups, and choose one person in each group to be the mummy.
Within the time limit, the others wrap toilet paper around the mummy’s body to complete the transformation.
Have several groups compete at once, and in the end, let bystanders judge which mummy looks the most complete to decide the winner.
When wrapping the face, make sure to leave space so the person can breathe properly.
Mystery Box
A game where you guess what’s inside a box using only your sense of touch would be a big hit with kids at Halloween.
You can even make the box yourself.
Cover a cardboard box with construction paper and decorate it with illustrations like ghosts and jack-o’-lanterns.
The key is to attach a clear file (plastic sleeve) to just one side of the box so people around can see what’s inside.
Be sure to prepare items related to Halloween to put in the box.
The kids will surely be excited and a little nervous as they reach inside to find out what’s in there.
Halloween treat making
Liven up your Halloween party with treats kids love! These days, when Halloween season comes around, adorable-looking sweets line the shelves in every shop.
You could make some festive treats at home to bring to the party, or try making them together with your kids! One eye-catching option is a big, showy caramel apple made with apples and caramel.
Even if one is too big to finish alone, you can slice it up and share it with everyone.
Cute, delicious, and easy to make.
Ghost Ball-Throw Game
How about making targets and balls using cardboard, cellophane tape, and things you have at home, and trying a target-throwing game? For the balls, crumple up paper and wrap it all around with cellophane tape.
On the cardboard that will be the target, draw ghosts, jack-o’-lanterns, and so on.
Then put a pointy hat made from another piece of cardboard on top, and aim the ball at the hat.
If you hit it just right and the hat comes off, the cardboard flips down and the ghost turns into a crying face—a cute, easy-to-understand game even for little kids.
Spider Net Game
“Spider net” means a spider web.
Spider webs are a classic slightly spooky decoration for Halloween, aren’t they? The Spider Net game involves stretching thin strings—like raffia tape—around a room to resemble a spider web, and then trying to pass through without getting caught on them.
You can string them across a hallway from wall to wall, or if you have a large room, two people can hold elastic in both hands and crisscross it, and others can try to slip through the gaps.
