129 Halloween Party Games That Are Always A Big Hit

Guess the Food

Halloween would be a pretty dull event without some gross-outs. In this game, players are fed ingredients like "eyeballs", and the first person to correctly guess what it really is (peeled grapes, in this case) wins the game. Just make sure not to choose foods people could be allergic to!

Spooky Musical Chairs

This is musical chairs, but with a spooky twist everyone will love! Decorate your seats with scary skeletons and play popular Halloween songs as your guests go around the circle.

Sticker Stalker

Buy some Halloween stickers and give them to the participants. Write everyone's names on paper before putting them in a bowl and inviting the players to pick a random name. Their goal is to sneakily place as many stickers as possible on their victim before the end of the party.

Balloon Catch

For a fun game, take some orange balloons and give each child a funnel. See who can catch their balloon in the funnel the most times. Adults might have fun with this one too!

Halloween Candy Baubles

Have the kids stuff some clear baubles with candy and decorate them with stickers. To make this more of a game and less of a craft, you could time them to see who can get theirs done the fastest.

Kiss, Marry, Kill

Name three people, fictional or not. The player has to decide which one they'd rather kiss, marry, or kill.

3 Minutes in the Closet

Give this high-school party game a spooky makeover. Instead of swapping spit, swap costumes with your closet mate!

The (Not Always So) Quiet Game

The Quiet Game forces you to stay quiet. Even the faintest giggle, and you're out! Highly suggested to try it after a few drinks and with some people around you doing their best to make you laugh.

Blood-Pumping Freeze Dance

Get everyone grooving on the dance floor. When the music stops, everyone has to freeze. If you move, you're out. The last one standing wins.

Pass the Pumpkin

Have one fewer pumpkin than you have players. Ask the kids to sit in a circle. Play Halloween music while they pass the pumpkins to the next child. When the music stops, the player without a pumpkin is out but takes a pumpkin with them. The other kids continue to play until there's only one last kid, who wins the prize.

Screaming Contest

If you don’t have neighbors, liven up your Halloween party with a screaming contest. It will loosen up your guests and allow them to get loud! Give awards for categories, such as the most piercing scream, the very best scream, the scariest scream, and the funniest one.

Broomstick limbo

It's not a party without a game of limbo! Make it Halloween-y using a broomstick.

Pumpkin Painting

If pumpkin carving is too messy for you, opt for pumpkin painting instead! It’s lots of fun for kids and adults alike.

Donuts on a String

Keep your hands behind your back for this one: use your mouth to retrieve the delicious donuts hanging from a string in this classic Halloween party game that always makes for lots of laughs and funny pics!

Pumpkin Checkers

A super-duper DIY — Take a hearty piece of wood and paint a checkerboard on it. Adds some miniature orange and white pumpkins as playing pieces, and you're ready to start the tournament!

Witch Pitch

Which witch will win? Actually, you will — once you get the hang of this game! It's a candy corn tossing game. Toss candy corn into a witch hat and see how many you will get.

Zombie Eyeball Toss

Head to your local convenience store and stock up on spooky Halloween cups. Then scatter them on a poster board to take aim — with zombie eyeballs, of course!

Skeleton Scavenger Hunt

You won't believe how easy it is to set up such a fun activity with dollar store decorations. Find hidden skeleton parts and win the game!

Pumpkin Golf

This Halloween competition is a sure success!

Halloween Mini Piñatas

Instead of one big piñata, opt for smaller piñatas that every kid can pull to collect their own candy.
