Thread: Halloween Adult Party Games

Tweet

Heya, does anyone have any cool adult party game ideas? And I mean something fun like, oh I don't know, Halloween Beer Pong or Halloween Beer Race, or watching Friday the 13th and taking a drink for every boob-shot, everytime you hear "ch-ch-ch-ch", and every "giallo" screen shot. Ok, ok it doesn't have to be a drinking game *wink* but something more along those lines. What I mean to say is that I'm not really into bowling with a pumpkin and liter bottles. I want something fun that will loosen people up and last a while. Has anyone ever hired a stripper for a Halloween party?

This will be my first Halloween party and I'm trying to figure out how to entertain my adult guests too. I plan on having a best, funniest, and sexiest costume contest and another contest of chance, but other than that I'm lost---how do you entertain 30+ people? Thinking I might just leave the poker cards and some other games out and let them entertain themselves but the people I’m inviting are my girlfriend’s family and they have various parties throughout the year and mostly just sit around drinking and talking.

Anyone plan on using Guitar Hero for their party?

My favourite game/activity to do at my Halloween parties that is popular with all ages is to orchestrate a Halloween Movie Music quiz!

Make a cd with a bunch of famous Halloween movie themes/iconic songs from Halloween/classic horror movies and play 10-20 seconds of each one in sequence, getting guests to write down their guesses either individually or form teams. Either get your guests to swap papers and mark each others' or collect them in and mark them yourself - give one point if they get the name of the song and another point if they get the name of the band/composer. The winner or winning team gets a prize basket

This is always a hit at my parties as it brings everyone together and gives people a challenge - plus there are prizes to be won! Make sure to include a few easy ones for younger participants as well as a few really hard ones for the hardcore movie buffs

This year I plan on expanding my quiz to be a full-on Halloween Quiz with a music round and a video clip round. I plan on making it like a Halloween pub quiz lol

Those are pretty good ideas.
Stonegate, I never thought of Guitar Hero. That'd be a nice ice-breaker. That reminds me, I have a Wii. Maybe a little super Smash Bros. Brawl is in order. Setting games out and letting the party flow where it will isn't a bad idea either. Our parties usually turn out to be the sitting around and talking type too

Magickbean, I think you've inspired me! I'm going to make some kind of movie trivia game. What came to mind is to collect death scenes from various horror movies and people have to guess the movie. Obviously I'd try to get scenes that don't feature the killer, that'd be too easy. But I'd include easy one's like Kevin Bacon getting skewered through the neck, to more difficult ones like the nipple scene from "Burial Ground: Nights of Terror" where that creepy kid bites his mothers nipple off! (you really should see Burial Ground if you haven't. It's really bad and funny.)

Well, I'm off to think of obscure death scenes.

Fanastic! Glad to be of service - and I believe you've inspired me too!! I was quite intent on doing a movie clip round, but wasn't sure what theme to do it on.... death scenes is such a great idea, I may work with that! I hope you don't mind

Haven't seen Burial Ground... I may have to check that one out hehe ..

Guitar Hero was a great game at my b-day party
The music game sounds like it will be a big hit. I am actually going to use it this year
Costume contest sounds fun too.

I've struggled deciding on fun games and entertainment for adults as well. We've only had 2 annual parties so far, and gone through a lot of brainstorming. Bear with me for length, as I want to put in plenty of detail. Here's a couple I've done that turned out a hit:


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!

NOT my idea...wish it were.
Haven't played it yet, but it sounds like fun.

I'm gonna try it one of these days.
Enjoy

Skeletons - I love the sound of your dare game. Not sure how it will fare out with my group, but I'm gonna give it a try. Do you have a name for it? My theme this year is a Haunted Hoedown (along the lines of Tombstone). Thanks in advance for letting me steal your idea.

We've played charades with Halloween-based words, Potter pictionary last year, and this year we are going to have Karioke with 80's themed music for our 80's themed party.

But skeleton, I LOVED the shots games, and will definitely check out the "suck and blow" variety. I wondered what I was going to do to top the glow-in-the-dark shots of "Veritaserum" from last year, but you might have saved me. We'll probably NEED shots before we get up and sing 80's songs!!!


Thanks!!!!
