Are you hosting a Halloween party this year? Amp up the fun by incorporating some spooky and silly adult-friendly games into the evening. 

And don’t worry—there’s no alcohol required for most of these games.

1. Spooky Ball Toss 

@jelliplanet For this years party i used some carboard and a few items from the dollar tree to make a fun party game for under 20$ #halloweenpartyideas #halloweenparty #halloweendiy #partygamediy #diypartygames #halloweekend #happyhalloween #halloweenhouse ♬ delulu - NESYA

Put this creepy carnival-inspired game together using a cardboard box, scary Halloween decor, and ping-pong balls. Bonus if the pong balls look like eyeballs! 

2. Gross Guessing Game

@playpartyplan First Halloween game in our tournament of terror! And it’s not even the grossest! 🤣 Get all the details for this one plus the other games on my site! There are tons of ideas for all ages! #halloweenfun #halloweengames #halloweengame #fearfactor #funnygames #partygames ♬ original sound - Britni - Games, Food, Fun 🌟

This icky guessing game is all about confusing your senses. Simply fill a large bowl (or multiple small ones) with gross-feeling ingredients—cold spaghetti, sliced grapes, and canned tomatoes are all good options. When your blindfolded guests stick their hands in the bowl, the spaghetti might just feel like wriggling worms or brains! 

3. Mummy Wrapping

Mummy wrapping is a classic Halloween game. The premise is simply: in pairs, one person wraps the other in toilet paper—mummy style. You can either crown the first pair to finish as the winners or hold a vote of which duo did the best job.

4. Trick-Or-Treat

Feeling crafty? Glue down styrofoam or plastic cups to a poster board. Fill the cups with a mix of treats, such as candy, and tricks, like a card with a funny mission or a sneaky shot of booze. Cover the top of the cups with plastic or napkins. When it’s time to party, your guests can make a hole in a cup of their choice and reveal their prize!

5. Costume Contest

You can’t have a Halloween party without a costume contest! Include as many categories as you want—best costume, most creative, scariest, or best couples costume. We suggest using a ballot system for full voting anonymity (costume contests are serious business!).

6. Witch Hat Ring Toss

It’s like ring toss but spooky! Throw rings at the pointed witch hats and present the winner with a well-deserved prize.

7. Spider Race

This game works great as a two-person competition or relay race. Using a straw, see who can blow a plastic spider over the finish line first.
