It worked great and everyone liked to play and it was even funnier with the costumes on (and a little drunk..).

We turned beer pong into a halloween game I put a few tables out and decorated them with spooky items. Then i painted the ping pong balls to look like eyeballs. I tested them first and had no problems with the paint coming off of them. They were a hit!

Also, this game is called something different in different regions but have you played beirut? it is a combination of beer pong and flip cup. It's great for big groups because you can play with 6-10 or more (however many will fit at your table). The girls are usually better at the flip cup part and the guys are usually better at the pong part so it evens out.

Anyone have any other minimally structured outdoors games? Ex: i like the tempt your fate. I don't like games that will require me to get everyone's attention and try to get them to participate. We had 40-60 people last year all coming and going so organized games are hard. Thought about bobbing for apples but too many costumes have makeup...Thoughts?

I would really like to know what some of the "dares" were.

First year, Pirate theme: Made up name tags for each person so when they arrived, they were given these tags to wear. They kept to the theme, like Pirate John the Engorged, Cap'n Roughknuckles, Nightwalker Nellie, etc. Have fun with it or even use the online name generators for ideas. So, this worked well since some knew each other well, but others didn't know anyone well. The idea was that you had to use their "Pirate Name" instead of their real name. Simple enough, right? Well, every time you called someone or used someone's real name and were caught, they could make you take a shot. Needless to say, we went through several bottles of the fruit flavored Captain Morgan rums very quickly. No one could stop laughing and the more they drank, the more they screwed up. It was a great ice breaker for all to cut loose and have a great time the rest of the night.


Second year, Old West theme: New ice breaker game. We placed a few dozen random dares in a basket. Some simple and tame, others more bold or racy. Everything from getting the entire party's attention and leading a sing along to "Home On The Range", to talking someone of the opposite sex you haven't met yet into allowing you to ride them like a horse/bull for 8 seconds, to passing around the 2 liter Beer Boot of beer to have it downed by party goers in under 5 minutes. To make it more interesting, there were rules. To get a chance to draw a dare out of the basket, you had to take a shot. Once you got the dare and completed it, you could write your name on it and place it in another basket that would be drawn from toward the end of the party for prizes. So, the more shots you took to get a dare and the more dares you completed, the more chances/entries you had for the prizes. We then made the prizes good and busts, like the old game show "Let's Make a Deal". Someone got a bottle of Goldschlager for the gold rush, another person won a hand full of replica Brothel Tokens, etc. We ended up just entering names into the basket and re-using the dares since we grossly underestimated the fun and willingness of our guests to make fools of themselves. Again, this was a GREAT ice breaker and got things started, and kept them going all night. We've been asked by almost everyone to include SO MANY MORE dares this year. I've decided I may even add a rule that for taking a shot, you can add a dare of your own to the basket. That should allow the party to go in several directions...most down the drain and into the gutter, I'm sure.


One final note: A product that seemed to get more people involved and was a big hit was a type of shot. It can even be integrated into the dares, like convincing several people you don't really know into taking so many with you in a certain amount of time. They are for bars and such, called "Suck and Blow". It looks like a large test tube, with screw on caps at both ends. You fill it with jello shots. Then, it takes two people to take the shot...one sucks, one blows. I thought it was cool and made a bunch. However, our crowd busted through 50 of them in under 15 minutes! We've since bought another 150 for this year, totalling 200. That's right! They are washable in the dishwasher or sink and reuseable. Great product!! And the site has a ton of recipes...Suck & Blow - The Next Generation of Shots


I hope this LONG post helps some others and spurs on some new ideas as well. I can't wait to hear what others have had luck with to implement ourselves! Happy Haunting!...And Partying!
