As Halloween looms and the mood begins to turn dark, celebrate everything fearsome and frightening with a perfectly planned Halloween party. Our top five picks of the best Halloween party games are suitable for all ages, but with just a few variations they can be made a little more spirited!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/b>A costume competition will get guests in the Halloween mood before arriving as they preen and plan their outfit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
For adults, themed costume parties can help make sure you don\u2019t get the same unimaginative mob of ghosts and vampires \u2013 there are numerous themes that can help make your party unique.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Voting for the best outfit and trying to work out the bizarre ones is always entertaining!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Ride the sugar rush and get moving with a treat-filled Halloween style pi\u00f1ata.\u00a0A Mexican tradition that has spread across the globe, pi\u00f1atas come in all shapes and colours and are perfect as an alternative Halloween party game.\u00a0It\u2019s best to hang this short-lived decoration outside, or make sure any breakable ornaments are hidden before handing a party attendee a blindfold and bat! The simplest of games \u2013 whack away until the cardboard breaks apart and the sweets tumble onto the floor. Guests can munch on these and stock up on expelled energy!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
3. \u00a0A Wicked Work Of Art<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n
Calm down after pi\u00f1ata mania with some creative pumpkin carving. A classic Halloween pastime that never gets old, carving your own friendly or freaky Jack-o\u2019-Lantern face is an essential All Hallow\u2019s Eve activity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Give your ghoulish guests the opportunity to design their own throughout the night, and soon you\u2019ll have a collection of eerily grinning orange faces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Provide younger children with mini pumpkins and some arts and craft decorations \u2013 it\u2019s probably best to avoid real blood being spilled on Halloween! <\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
No party would be complete without a game where guests have the opportunity to get a bit messy. A twist on the traditional apple bobbing, bloody worm bobbing doesn\u2019t ruin painted faces and looks a lot more gruesome. Fill two large bowls with red jelly and 6-10 gummy worms and leave to set. Give two participants a minute to retrieve as many worms as possible using just their mouths \u2013 the winner is the person with the biggest worm haul.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If it\u2019s an adult only party, adding some vodka to the jelly in place of water can spice things up. The loser can then \u2018down\u2019 the jelly as punishment!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\u00a05.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pass The Pumpkin<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Some of the best Halloween party games are old favourites with a spooky twist. Pass the pumpkin changes one element of the classic pass the parcel game \u2013 the clue\u2019s in the name. A hollowed out pumpkin is stuffed with sweets or prizes and passed around a circle to creepy music. Kids usually know this game so it doesn\u2019t take much organisation if catering for a younger crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If sweets as prizes sound a bit dull and the guests are old enough, a pumpkin full of written-down dares or forfeits works well too. This keeps in the trick-or-treat spirit of Halloween!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Halloween party games don\u2019t have to be complicated or time consuming and the simpler the better. Small alterations can turn the most dated games into fiendishly good fun \u2013 suitable for any zombie, goblin or ghoul!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
