A murder dinner party takes a bit of planning, but it's so worth it. Keep it extra scary, and it'll be a bash your friends will be "dying" to attend.

For this relay race, you'll want to organize some mini-games using a small pumpkin, like walking with the pumpkin between the knees, or trying to pick it up without using your hands. The first team to complete all challenges win!

Pumpkin Pictionary

Let each participant pick a random person, location, object, song, movie, or TV show — Halloween-themed or not — and carve clues into their pumpkin while other party-goers try to guess. Give them a time limit to spice up the challenge.

Spin the Plastic Pitchfork

Get back to your teenage days with a spin on the classic kissing game. Circle up, then give that pitchfork a whirl. Whoever it points to must pucker up!

Witch, Zombie, Ghost

On the count of three, all partygoers have the option to become a zombie, witch, or ghost. The zombie stretches their arms out in front of them; the witch lifts their arms overhead in a triangle shape; the ghost stretches their arms out to the sides and waves them around. Scan the room and see if you have more zombies, witches, or ghosts. The biggest group gets a celebratory shot to drink.

A classic. Get your guests to sit in a circle. Player one confesses something they've never ever done like, "Never have I ever made out in a restroom." Anyone who did it at some point in their life must drink.

Yummy Mummy

Dare a guest to arrive incognito dressed as a mummy. Then have them serve sweet treats anonymously until another partygoer catches on to their real identity.
