If you are having an alcohol induced party something we have done is give our guests the option to "Tempt Their Fate" throughout the night.
We have a clear fish bowl, crystal ball, etc and place pieces of paper inside. On each slip of paper we have written a different potential "Fate" for guests to pull out of the bowl. The only rule is this: If the guest decides to tempt fate they must be willing to except the consequences or they should NOT partake. Do not hint to the guests what could be on the paper, they must make the decision before pulling out a piece of paper. Ex:
"You have tempted fate and fate shall be lenient, please present this fortune to your Dark Lady for a Treat."
(The guest brings the paper to me and in return I usually do a dramatic display for everyone, because we are nuts like that, and give the guest a candy bar, lottery ticket, gift card etc.)
"You have tempted fate and for this you must be sacrificed! Take this fortune to your Dark Lord for your ultimate demise."
(The guest takes the paper to my husband and in return he pulls out our "Chalice of Cessation", an intimidating chalice filled with a concoction unknown to any human mortal....or in this case a combination of our fav halloween novelty drink "Gangrene"(recipe below), with a splash of Jager & just a hint of anything else hardcore we can find to throw into the cup. Another dramatic display and the guest is "Sacrificed" by drinking the cup.)
Feel free to come up with your own twists of fate, but that should get you started. Its a huge hit at our parties and has become one of our signature games. The trick is to not force people to play, but make it a huge deal and play it up so they WANT to play. Make sure they know there could be consequences and if they decide to play they must follow through. Only the brave may tempt their fate!
This is our Fav Halloween novelty drink recipe. We have included it at all of our Halloween parties since our first party. My husband drank it all night & got so sick on it that I was cleaning green stains out of my hallway carpet to the bathroom for weeks. So naturally it is now apart of every Halloween party is some way or another. (I have no idea how he drank it all night in the first place) So slight warning if you decide to use this, if you dont want your guests wasted, use this ONLY for novelty. lol I dont recommend serving it as one of the normal drinks. Its a huge hit however because of its nastiness.
Yield: 1 Servings
2 ounce Green creme de menthe
1 ½ ounce Vodka
½ ounce Tequila
1 tablespoon Blackberry brandy
Hope this helps!
