Thread: Adult Party Games & Activities

Tweet

I've searched the forum, but couldn't seem to find much in the way of ideas for adult games and activities. I'd appreciate any input, or even just a nudge/push in the right direction of where to look for ideas. (Or what I might have missed.)

What I've found and I have mulling in my brain right now is:

* Who/What Am I? (paste the name tag to the back and guess who you are based on other's questions)
* Halloween Pictionary
* Halloween Jeopardy
* Wheel of Torture (and I thought I was so original with this one... until I started reading these boards )
* "Do or Die" Karaoke (names go in one hat, Halloween songs go in another. the name pulled has to sing the song pulled)
* Various costume contests

I saw a game online that is a ghost hunt where the guests break into teams and search out the ghosts, then have to decipher the clues to send the ghost on to their final rest. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, but I'm saving that one for another year. Our party theme this year is a Voodoo Hoodoo, so if I could find a game/activity that jived with that theme - major coolness would be in the making.

Has anyone played the Ghost in a Box? If so, thoughts on it?

Does bobbing for apples really go over that well? My concern would be people messing up their costumes.

This is only our second year to do a Halloween party - and last year's was a big hit, but I noticed that the party seemed to lag when there was no 'organized' activity. Compared to our New Year's Eve party where we did a murder mystery, there was a big difference in the involvement and energy of the guests throughout the night. So, while I don't want to bombard people with 'fun, fun, fun' things to do, or make them feel like we're marching from event to event - I do want to have enough things for people to do other than just drinking, dancing, and chatting.

Whoo! Sorry for the long posting and thanks in advance for any help!!

Maybe something like the murder mystery,but with a horror theme,13 ghost,house on haunted hill,etc.

I also need ideas for games.We are going to have our Kareoke Machine(how ever it's spelled,eeekA Ouija Board and lots of jello shots.But if you have fun games I need some ideas as well.

Happy Haunting!!!

How about doing some edgey-yet-old-timey carnival games? I'm making a big jack o'lantern from plywood with the mouth cut-out & bean bags to throw in it.
Thinking of doing one of those rope a rubber ducky in a wading pool games but using the devil duckies from Archie Mcphee's.
And I always have an old half oil barrel that we make a small bonfire in. Everyone loves fire on a cold night, it's romantic and kind of scary(I put a girl over it so no drunks fall in) Before anyone gets to embibed we usually roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. By the end of all that it's cold and people want to go inside anyway.

lol! how's that for a freudian slip!? I put a grill on the bonfire, not a g-i-r-l ![}]

I kind of live out in the sticks, so we are gonna have a "witch burning". I Have the stake, I just need to finish making the witch and gather more fire wood. I'm purchasing hay-bales for seats and I'm gonna set them around the bon-fire.

I was thinking about games for my Halloween party, but not many of my friends are into halloween as much and worry about "being Cool". I'm a car guy, and 90% of my friends are too. I invited everyone on my local car board to attend (where most of my friends are) but a really big car show (3 days long) is that same weekend, so most of them are going to that. The car show goes on all through the night, lots of drinking, and theres a stage. Lots of the girls get on stage and strip...........I can't compete with that!!!

Wow, that car show is a lot different than the one's I've been to! I'm jealous...

lol, rightly named its called Freak show. Its goes from Friday-Sunday. Most of the cars are tacky though. Riced out imports and lowriders. I'm into imports, just not tacky ones.

Geeze, just a thought, maybe if you burn a NAKED witch you can compete with the strippers, huh?

Yagottawanna!

I have been looking for games as well and the only ones I could find were musical chairs,when you get out you have to take a shot.Not too many games out there for adults.I need some fun Party idea's Everyone always say's that they have fun at my party but of coarse each year you want them to have even more fun "Right"You want them to tell everyone how much fun they had at the party!!

Happy Haunting!!!
