Why We Love These Games
From creepy Halloween games to traditional Halloween games, there is something for everyone.
These adult Halloween games will not break the bank and only take a little bit of time.
1. Finish My Horror Story
This one begins on the invitation to the Halloween party. When you send out your invitations, include a short story about something really scary but open-ended.
This story should be Halloween slanted and allow for things to go in plenty of directions. Ask that the guests to think up an ending to the story and be prepared to share it at the party.
This is great for an intellectual crowd and tons of fun to see who comes up with the nuttiest finish! Perfect for those that enjoy a good horror movie.
2. Find The Crazed Killer
What is Halloween without a murder mystery game? Some of the greatest Halloween party games for adults are interactive.
Recruit some of your most creative and compliant guests to help you out with this one. Before the party, arrange for a dead “body” to be placed in an area that is not readily seen but eventually will be found. (In the bathroom, backyard, etc..)
When the body is eventually found, announce that the murderer must be found. Everyone loves a good murder mystery and bonus points for the one who figures it out first.
Have the murderer prearranged before the night begins and have the rest try to figure it out based on clues you have in place. It costs nothing, but does take a little bit of creativity.
There are ready made mysteries online to use if you would prefer to go that route or are not creatively inclined.
3. Squish Squash
It might be more popular for the kids but adults can have fun with it too. Line up several random bowls of Halloween goodies such as plastic eyeballs, zombie guts and worm rear ends for people to experiment with blindfolded.
Just the random nature of the game is a heck of a lot of fun and it costs nothing to set up. Give the guests bonus points if they get all of the answers correct.
4. Name That Monster
Every guest that shows up to your Halloween party will get a random monster picture put on his or her back. As guests arrive, assign them a monster.
Nobody gets to see their own monster.
As they progress through the party, they are allowed to ask yes or no questions to figure out who their monster is.
It’s similar to Halloween party names for adults but with a monster twist.
5. Bobbing For Apples
It is a classic for a reason. Bobbing for apples is a ton of Halloween fun.
When you need a go-to Halloween party game for adults, bobbing for apples should be at the top of your list. You will laugh until you cry watching your guests chase those elusive little apples.
Expert Tips
- Make it festive. Everyone will love playing these favorite Halloween games. Make everything festive with a Halloween theme include food, straws, candy corn and even a spider ring or Spider web in the doorways. Blow up some orange balloons and black balloons for decorations and they are easy to pop later for clean up.
- Pumpkins. Add a pumpkin here and there for decor or carve pumpkin.
- Costume Contest. We have also had a Halloween costume contest in the past. So much fun and another great idea. You can make a rule it has to be a DIY costume!
- Fun food. Serve an assortment of Halloween candies, Halloween cookie or Halloween desserts and more. I also love these Mummy Wrap hot dogs and Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups.
- Scary Movie. It really sets the mood to have scary movies playing in the background. I like to have one already playing as guests arrive at the party.
- Scavenger Hunt. We also have enjoyed a Halloween scavenger hunt in the past. Another fun idea is horror movie trivia. Anything Halloween themed is great to add to the fun Halloween games.
- Prizes. It’s totally optional but it would be fun to pick up a few inexpensive prizes for the party. They can be frugal like candy, witches or ghosts at the dollar store.
