The prompts ask you to be brutally honest and crazily daring. However, the major twist comes when you fail to answer the truth or deliver the dare. On that brink of loss, you are bound to face a consequence card that can ask you anything mad and you have no choice but to obey. This game is absolutely perfect for Halloween parties and adults who are up for some daring and thrilling fun Halloween activities.
3. Halloween Feel Box
This is a classic Halloween game that will gross out your guests and make them scream or gag. Fill boxes with items that are cold, slimy, or otherwise unpleasant to touch, such as cooked spaghetti, peeled grapes, jelly, or fake eyeballs. Have your guests stick their hands in the boxes and try to guess what the items are. You can make this game more challenging by adding clues or riddles to each box, or by blindfolding the participants.
4. Costume Contest with a Twist
Adults can take costume contests to the next level because they can mimic themselves to be anything and any person they want to be. You can make this activity more challenging and interesting by adding specific category awards for winners and some wild dares for losers. This will motivate your friends to invest their best and creative efforts in their costumes and makeover. Who knows, some of you may surprise others with your unrecognizable authentic, creepy looks.
5. Escape Room Challenge
Consider renting an escape room kit or visiting a local escape room for a Halloween-themed adventure. This will be a new and hilarious experience as you will get to witness the scary and screaming faces of your best buddies. This is one of the best hair-raisingly fun Halloween party games for a group of friends.
6. Halloween Jinx
This is a simple game that will test your guests’ vocabulary and self-control. As guests arrive, let them know there are certain jinxed words they can’t say during the party. The list of words can have a Halloween theme or be anything else you want. For example, you can ban words like pumpkin, ghost, candy, or costume. If someone is caught saying one of the words, set up some type of lighthearted penalty, such as taking a shot, doing a dare, or wearing a silly accessory.
7. Halloween Battle of the Balloons
This is a hilarious and fast-paced game that will have your guests popping balloons left and right. Tie a balloon to each guest’s ankle with a string, and then have them try to pop the balloons of the other guests using only their feet. No hands are allowed, and costumes can make this game even more difficult. The last person who still has their balloon intact wins.
8. Eyeball Pong
This is a twist on the popular drinking game of beer pong but with a creepy twist. Instead of using regular ping pong balls, use plastic eyeballs that you can buy at any party store. Set up cups filled with water or your favorite beverage on each side of a table, and have your guests take turns tossing the eyeballs into the cups. If they make it in, they get to drink from the cup or make someone else drink it.
9. Halloween Candy Toss
This is a simple and sweet game that everyone will love. Set up buckets or bowls at different distances from a starting line, and label them with different point values. Give each guest a handful of candy corn or other small candies, and have them toss them into the buckets or bowls. The person who scores the most points wins.
10. Candy Corn Guess
This is one of the simplest Halloween games for friends that requires no preparation at all. Fill a jar with candy corn or any other small candies, and have your guests write down their guesses of how many candies are in the jar. The person who guesses closest to the actual number wins the jar.
11. Halloween Who Am I
This is a fun icebreaker game in the list of Halloween party games that will have your guests mingling and laughing. When your guests arrive, tape a piece of paper to their backs with a Halloween character written on it. Have them ask other guests for clues about the character on their back until they can correctly guess it. You can use characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, or the Headless Horseman.
12. Mixology Potion Bar
Create a creepy-looking Potion Bar where your friends can try their hand at mixing eerie cocktails. Provide a variety of spirits, mixers, and garnishes, and let your guests concoct their signature Halloween beverages. Offer recipe cards with spooky names like Witch’s Brew or Vampire’s Kiss.
