129 Halloween Party Games That Are Always A Big Hit

Chalk Outline

Ask some guests to have their forms mapped out in a chalk outline on the floor and challenge the others to identify who the figure belongs to.

Guess how many eyeballs

Fill a big transparent jar with eyeballs. Get your guests to write down how many they think are in there. Who guesses right or gets the closest number, wins a prize.

Cocktail-Making Contest

Have everyone show off their own spooky cocktail recipes. Make sure to “hire” some judges among the guests to choose the best drink.

Ghost Puzzle

A quieter Halloween game for the little ones? Set up a puzzle and watch everyone work together as they bring a spooky ghost or witch scene to life.

Eyeball Pong

Basically beer pong, but Halloween style! Take turns bouncing "eyeballs" on the table to get them into the cups — if the ball lands in the middle cup, you instantly win.

Roll a Jack-o'-lantern

Drawing time: players take turns rolling a dice and following the instruction that corresponds with the result (draw eyes, a nose, a mouth, teeth, or a leaf — or skip the turn!). The first one that completes the face wins!

Witch Hat Ring Toss

An easy, entertaining game for the little ones: set up a ring toss with witch hats as cones. You can easily DIY some rings by cutting out the center of paper plates.

Halloween Forehead Detective

This makes for a fantastic ice-breaker. Give each person a sticky note with a specific Halloween word or a costume idea, and place it on their forehead. They'll have to ask other party-goers questions until they figure out what they are!

Pumpkin Patch Stomp

Fill some orange balloons with candies, loose change, and other treats your guests may like, and inflate them. Trick-or-treaters can now crush the "pumpkin patch" in your backyard to claim the prize inside!

Eyeball Hunt

This one is for the kids — Turn an Easter egg hunt into a fun Halloween game by having little ones collect as many hidden googly eyes as possible. You could also turn it into a timed relay for even more fun.

Ghost and Pumpkin Bowling

Give some toilet paper rolls new life by converting them into ghoulish bowling pins. Cut the stem off a pumpkin, and you're all set with the perfect Halloween-style bowling!

Halloween Bean Bag Toss

Look for some pieces of leftover wood to create this fa-boo-lous yard game, complete with pumpkin and ghost-shaped felt bean bags.

Eyeball Dig

Prepare a heaping bowl of spaghetti and have your guests get hands-on in the mushy mess while searching for hidden eyeballs.

Pumpkin Chuckin'

Instead of tossing real pumpkins, cover toilet paper rolls in orange felt for a much lighter (and sustainable!) prop.

Pin the Spider on the Web

Entertain everyone with this Halloween version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. It won't take long to set up — just print it and secure it to the wall with some tape.

Pumpkin Twister Game

Upgrade your Twister game by making a board with multi-colored pumpkins.

Candy Corn Guessing Game

For a sweet treat, challenge your guests to this game of chance. The winner gets the whole jar of candy!

Tabletop Halloween Cornhole

Decorate your tabletop cornhole boards with black acrylic paint, silver glitter, and fake spiders.

Pumpkin and Witch's Broom Race

You have to try this one! Provide the participants with a broom for each team and some miniature pumpkins. Each witch will have to use the broom to push the pumpkin to the finish line and back to the next witch in line. The first team to finish wins the race! And don't forget the prize.

Black Light Halloween Candy Game

Use this as a fun alternative to the classic trick-or-treating. Kids can hunt for sweet treats using a black light to find the candies you customized with paper ghosts!
