Halloween Games for Adults

As much as they would like to think so, Halloween is not just for
kids! Adults may not do the same things as kids at Halloween but they can and do
have fun.
If you are planning a Halloween party for adults, you will want to have some
adult Halloween games on hand. It is all part of the fun.
Some great adult Halloween games include:

About the Town – This is a scavenger hunt. All you need to do is create a list of
Halloween-related items, pass out the list to each team, and send them on their way to collect the
items. Some great objects to put on the list include:
A Hangman’s noose
A black veil
An obituary
I think you get the idea. Just include items that have to do with being scared, ghosts,
Halloween, or whatever.
You might try a variation on the hunt, too. One great one is to make the hunt a video
scavenger hunt. Each team goes off with video camera in hand (or cell phone with a camera or
whatever) and films the items rather than actually bringing the items back with them. This is
really cool because you can make the list of items include really big stuff and potentially scary
things like tombstones. For a further variation, you can have the list be only things like:
Superman, a clown, a pirate, a fairy princess, a werewolf, a vampire, and so on. That would
mean the adult Halloween games would include the kids via taking video of trick-or-treaters who are
all dressed up.
Halloween Fortune Telling – In this game, your guests put their knowledge of one another to the
test and get to know each other better.
Simply hand out slips of paper and a pencil to each guest. Each person then chooses a
person at the party (maybe even himself or herself), but doesn’t tell anyone who it is. Then,
everyone write a “fortune” for that person, folds it, and puts it into the fishbowl. You can
have everyone write one or several; that’s up to you.
Then, each guest pulls out a slip of paper and reads the fortune. He then tries to guess
which person wrote the fortune and which person the fortune is about.
Some examples of fortunes might be:
“This person will get caught doing something illegal and spend the night in jail.”
“This person will marry someone from a foreign country.”
”This person will quit his job and buy a Corvette when he turns fifty.”
“This person will adopt a child.”
“This person will become President of the PTA.”
You get the idea. Each person who correctly guesses wins a small prize, and this game is a
delightful way to get conversations started at your Halloween bash.
A really cool variation of this game is to have each guest put their name on a piece of paper
and drop into the bowl. Then have each guest draw a name from the bowl and have the one who drew
the name make up a scary story about the name drawn. Then have the other guest guess who the scary
story is about.
As you can see adult games can be a lot of fun and the types of games can be endless. It just
takes a little planning to come up with adult Halloween games.
