Im having my 2nd adult Halloween party this year and have decided to do the trivia/scavenger hunt game someone on this forum posted. Im searching for ideas for a tie breaker in the event more than one person gets them all correct. Any ideas? Thanks
 
Matrixmom, there's also Krusty from The Simpsons.
If you’re a fan of the opera or (like me) Seinfeld, there’s a clown in an opera called I Pagliacci”.
There are actually quite a few freaky clowns scattered in movies, not sure if your guests will be able to tell. The following movies have clowns in them:
-Land of the Dead (zombie clown, aaahhh!!!)
-Dead Silence
-Poltergeist (the original clown was scarier than the remake’s clown)
-Halloween (although I believe we only see the mask for a flash, but the kid is dressed as one)
-And of course, a B-movie classic, “Killer Clowns from Outer Space”.
 
Jigsaw might count as well, from the "Saw" franchise.
Captain Spaulding from "House of 1000 Corpses" is a clown too.
 
We ran into a similar situation when my brother started dating his now wife, and having an annual Halloween Party each year. That's when Halloweeja came to be born. It's as adult as the people playing it. The Q and A process is very open so you can reply as dirty, funny, honestly, or dishonest as possible. It basically becomes a trivia game about the people you are with. Then there are the Creature Cards to add another element to game play so it's more than just a trivia game.

Halloweeja is going on sale this Halloween, 2016, but available to buy now for your party at The Game Crafter. If you want it for this years party, order now. It will have to be made, as there are no games in inventory. The Game Crafter, as the name suggests, crafts a game only when you order one - just for you! A free 4 player version is also available on Halloweeja.com.

I also made a full version of the game as cheap as possible, so now you can have a full print and play version with zero printing, or crafting, on your part. The "Ghost Light Edition".

Take a look if you're interested. It's for up to 10 people, and will be like watching a movie, as it runs 1 to 1.5 hours long. :)
 
Need help! Im copying someone who posted the horror movie trivia scavenger hunt for my halloween party. I need ideas. I have the following: pencil in ankle for Evil Dead; bucket of blood for Carrie; REDRUM written on door for The Shining; a picture of two lambs with mouths covered for Silence of the Lambs; gingerbread cookie with knives stuck in it for Krampus; a wooden cross with Gage on it for Pet Cemetary. I was going to make a dummy and hang from a tree with a burlap sack over the head for The Conjuring and another dummy sitting in a chair with a sheet over it and tied to a chair for Sinister but I have so much to do I dont really have enough time. Does anyone have ideas that I could do that would be quick and easy to do? Thanks.
 
I was thinking of making my own Halloween Cards Against Humanity cards for our party. I wanted to set them out on a coffee table for those who just want to play something that isn't too involved. Brainstorming ideas for cards now and I'll post if I can come up with a good amount. :)
DH and I were JUST talking about this the other night! We were surprised to see that there isn't already a Halloween version of Cards Against Humanity for purchase. Never occured to us to create our own!
Thank you for the brilliant idea, something to do for next years adult party I think :D
 
Last year we put a different spin on the Tempt Your Fate game. Our party theme was Disney's Haunted Mansion, and we turned the garage into a casino with poker, black jack and roulette. Everyone was given $10.00 in play money. We set a timer for 60 minutes and the top 10 guests who had the most money at the end of that time could choose a prize. If you ran out of money (and most players did ), you had to tempt your fate to "earn" more cash. You could only tempt your fate if you were broke until the last 10 minutes and then anyone could "tempt". People who refused to tempt the year before couldn't wait to give it a try when it meant more poker money! We also used a motion activated sound machine that sounded like crashing thunder to announce someone was going to "tempt". The person tempting would just turn the machine on to get everyone's attention.
 
If any of these have already been mentioned and I missed it, whewpsies, sorry! But, here are some pretty ridiculous but fun games [I have no idea at what point adults stop enjoying these, but my friends and I thoroughly still play all of them]. Hope this helps, have fun!

Blacklight Beer Pong/Flip Cup
Putting this together can sometimes take a bit of work depending on your house, but make the area completely black. Previously I've made the area just large enough for a legal size beer pong table and enough room for two teams and about five onlookers [it took two 3 feet long black lights to light this], but you can make it as large or small as you wish as long as you have the lights for it. Some years I bought those neon cups and neon balls, and then broke open glow sticks to draw designs on a plastic tablecloth, and some years I've used clear cups and tonic water (which makes the game incredibly hard, actually), and you can also draw designs on the cups with glow stick juice [that's good for flip cup]. Have some fun with it! You can even pour tonic water into clear bottles and label them differently for decor in the room. It's a lot of fun.

Glow in the Dark Ring Toss [with pumpkins!]
I grow my own pumpkins for this, so they're all different sizes which can make it really hard, but you can choose whatever kind of pumpkins you want, just ensure they have a solid stem. I have this as an outside game or a basement game. Use glow sticks to color the stems of the pumpkins, or you carve out the pumpkins and toss some tea lights inside and that's your lighting. Buy the necklace glow sticks and those are your rings. You can play around with this one and make it as hard or as easy as you want!

Pick Your Poison
This game is really disgusting. It's a card game that you buy and it's a "Would you Rather" kind of game, except the choices are usually really, really horrifying or gross. You can have it set aside for people to play, or you can incorporate it into your entire party. This year I'm thinking of setting up a station right at the door and they pick up one of these cards, and tape it up to a big board and write down their answer. It's really fun to see what people choose and ends up being a good conversation piece. Great icebreaker if you've got people who are new to your guestlist.

Grab Bag
My friends and I have this terrible tradition where we buy a bunch of the worst cheap "on sale" nips we can find. We collect them all in a cauldron or a hat or a bag and everyone has to pick one. At some random, unknown point in the night we stop the music, someone yells "GRAB BAG" and you have 5 seconds to trade with someone if you want, at the end of that 5 seconds you have to drink whatever you have, regardless of how gross it is.

Spooky Charades / Telephone Charades
Prior to the party, make a nice long list of super ridiculous, spooky, horrifying, and fun charade scenes. Put them all in hat, pumpkin, cauldron, whatever, [you can separate by topic if you want]. You have the charades area be glow in the dark, candlelit, by a bonfire, outside with flashlights. You can find options online, but my friends and I like to pick the scenes ourselves. You can play in teams, pairs, one at a time, whatever. You can also turn it into telephone charades, which is really fun if you're drunk: one person acts out, one person is guessing, everyone else is facing away; when the person guessing has an idea, they tap one of the people turning away and whispers what they think it is; the first guesser and actor get in line and face away, while the person who was tapped and the person next to them step up to the stage; the person who was tapped acts out what they thought they heard the first guesser say, while the other watches; so on and so forth until the last person acts it out.

Park Bench/Improv Games
Similar to charades, but you can speak and interact with other people. My friends and I will create lists of things that people can pick beforehand. There's two ways we play: traditional park bench, or improv prop games [the caveat is that your team members ARE the props]. We create lists of scenarios beforehand, usually different lists [one for park bench, one for improv games], and we try to be as wild as possible. For park bench we've had some of the following: retired reaper, ghost with aracnaphobia, pirate who goes into labor, witch with a fear of flying, vegan mad scientist, vampire with hemaphobia. For improv games, here are some scenarios: bloopers from Nightmare on Elm Street, skeletons go bowling [this is fun because people have to be the balls and the pins and it's hysterical], pirates lost in the center of London, werewolf documentary.
 
So many good ideas on this thread, I like the idea of them having a pre determined way they have to die in the winking murder game. I think it'll take a lot of nervousness off the guests if they don't have to think up a way to die.
I also like the bingo game where each square is something they have to do through out the evening, keeps people up and moving.
 


Last year I read about the Tempt Your Fate game ( I'm sorry, I don't remember who posted it originally ), it was a hit at my party and I plan on doing some thing similar again this year.

I just wanted to share the artwork I created, I printed a large poster to display at my party to explain the rules of the game to the guests. If anyone wants to use this feel free, here is a link to my google drive with the PDF document as well.

Happy Halloween!

Here's one we've played the last 2 years and has been a hit!

Its the winking murder game but with a twist:

First, you write several (# of guests) pieces of paper with everyones "death" written on there. Within those papers, you have ONE "killer".

As guests come in, everyone takes one piece of paper and DOES NOT share with anyone! The murder is to WINK at his victim whenever he/she wishes. That means he has just killed you. THe victim must die within 5 minutes of being winked at (this way the murder has time to leave the scene).

We loved this game because it made people interact, it continued all night long, and there was entertainment (the deaths) very often. Plus, if someone doesnt play, it doesnt really throw things off.

I have lots of details if you're interested...just PM me. Also we worked out the "what ifs"....like what if someone who doesnt want to play gets the murder card. Even though thats the easiest job, most of the time the anti social guest likes it, because they dont have to act anything out, just wink!

Example:
The deaths could be anything:
*dance to death
*swarms of bees have stung you to death
*shot 100 times to death

YOu'd be surprised how people can really get into it!
I have so many questions can you email me please

The poster you're talking about hasn't been active since 2011 so you're unfortunately not going to get any answer from them.
ahh ty, I was looking on my phone so had no idea. I am hosting our annual Halloween party, it is a 40-60 person party. I wanted to figure out a way to do the wink wink game but not sitting in a circle but in a party like bar atmosphere, any thoughts? We try hard to make the party different yearly so people love to come and it get hard to think of ideas. We will do a murder mystery next year because we need more planning on that
