21 FUN AND CRAZY HALLOWEEN DINNER PARTY GAMES
1. Mummy Wrapping Race
Split guests into teams of two or more. Each team is given a roll of toilet paper, and one person in each team stands still while the others wrap them in toilet paper, creating a “mummy.” The first team to completely wrap their mummy (from head to toe, leaving space for breathing) wins. For added fun, make the wrapped mummy do a little walk at the end.
2. Pumpkin Bowling
Set up a makeshift bowling alley using plastic bottles filled with sand, or small toys/figurines as pins. Use mini pumpkins as bowling balls. Guests take turns rolling their pumpkins to knock down the pins. Keep score, and the guest with the highest score at the end of the night wins.
3. Bobbing for Apples
Fill a large bucket or tub with water and place several apples inside. The goal is for guests to grab an apple using only their mouths, no hands allowed! This traditional Halloween game can get messy, so consider playing outside or using towels around the bucket.
4. Guess the Body Part
This eerie sensory game is all about imagination. Prepare bowls with different textured items, like peeled grapes (eyeballs), cooked spaghetti (intestines), cauliflower (brain), and dried apricots (ears). Blindfold guests and have them reach into the bowls to feel the items. They have to guess what “body part” it is. The spookier the descriptions, the more fun it gets!
5. Pumpkin Tic-Tac-Toe
Draw a large tic-tac-toe board on cardboard or directly on a tabletop. Use mini pumpkins and small gourds as the game pieces—one player uses pumpkins, and the other uses gourds. Guests take turns placing their pieces on the board to form a line of three in a row.
6. Witch Hat Ring Toss
Use cone-shaped witch hats as targets for a ring toss. Set the hats on the ground or a table and give guests rings (such as glow stick necklaces or hoops). Each player stands a distance away and tries to toss the rings onto the hats. Score points for each successful ring toss, and the player with the most points wins.
7. Spooky Charades
Create a list of Halloween-related items like famous monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein), Halloween movies (Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family), and other spooky themes (ghosts, witches). Players act out the word or phrase without speaking while their team guesses. Add some dramatic music for an eerie effect!
8. Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Hide various Halloween-themed items around your party space, such as plastic spiders, skeletons, candy, and mini pumpkins. Create a list of these items, and guests race to find them. The guest who finds the most items from the list wins. You can also offer clues or riddles to make the game more challenging.
9. Costume Contest
Guests come dressed in their best Halloween costumes, and you can create categories like scariest costume, funniest costume, most original, or best DIY costume. Everyone votes anonymously, and the winner of each category receives a prize, like Halloween-themed treats or party favors.
10. Pin the Hat on the Witch
This is a Halloween version of the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Draw or print a large picture of a witch without her hat. Give guests paper witch hats with tape on the back. While blindfolded, they take turns trying to stick the hat on the witch’s head. The player who gets the closest wins.
11. Zombie Walk Contest
Get guests to show off their best zombie impressions. They can shuffle, groan, and drag their feet like the undead. Give prizes for the most realistic zombie, the funniest zombie, and even the scariest. You can play some eerie background music to enhance the zombie atmosphere.
12. Spider Web Maze
Create a maze in your party space using string or yarn to simulate a giant spider web. Attach the web to walls, furniture, or trees if outdoors. Guests have to navigate through the web without touching or breaking the “web strands.” You can add toy spiders to the web for extra creepiness.
13. Eyeball Spoon Relay
Use ping pong balls decorated to look like eyeballs or small Halloween-themed balls. Divide guests into teams, and each team member must carry the “eyeball” on a spoon across the room without dropping it. If the eyeball falls, the player has to start over. The first team to finish wins.
14. Halloween Pictionary
Write Halloween-themed words or phrases (like “witch,” “haunted house,” or “ghost”) on slips of paper. Players take turns drawing the words on a whiteboard or paper while their team guesses. Set a timer for each round, and whichever team guesses the most words wins.
15. Truth or Scare
This is a spooky version of Truth or Dare. Guests take turns choosing between answering a question truthfully or completing a dare. If they choose not to answer the question, they must complete a “scare” dare, such as making a scary face, performing a haunted dance, or telling a spooky story.
16. Monster Freeze Dance
Play Halloween-themed music, and have everyone dance like monsters, zombies, or skeletons. When the music stops, everyone must freeze in place. Anyone caught moving is out of the game. Continue until only one player remains. You can play songs like “Monster Mash” or “Thriller” for a spooky touch.
17. Halloween Bingo
Create or download Halloween-themed bingo cards with images like ghosts, bats, witches, and pumpkins. Instead of numbers, call out the names of the images. The first player to get five in a row shouts “Bingo!” and wins a prize.
18. Pumpkin Carving Contest
Provide pumpkins, carving tools, and stencils for a pumpkin carving competition. Set up a carving station and give guests time to create their designs. Once finished, display the pumpkins and have everyone vote on their favorites in categories like funniest, scariest, and most creative.
19. Haunted House Hunt
Turn your party area into a mini haunted house. Hide objects like skeletons, ghosts, and other Halloween decor in different rooms. Guests are tasked with finding specific items while being spooked by actors or hosts dressed as monsters or ghouls. The first guest to find all the hidden items wins.
20. Candy Corn Guessing Game
Fill a large jar with candy corn and have guests guess how many pieces are inside. The guest with the closest guess wins the jar of candy. To make it more challenging, use a large jar or mix in other small candies.
21. Spooky Trivia
Prepare a list of Halloween-themed trivia questions, such as facts about famous horror movies, Halloween traditions, and spooky creatures. Divide guests into teams and ask the questions. The team with the most correct answers at the end wins.
