Adult Halloween party games need to offer more thrills than just bobbing for apples. You'll need to throw a few genuine frights and supernatural elements into the mix. Here are some game ideas for Halloween parties that will be a hit with the grown-ups:
Murder Mystery
It's easy to find a prepackaged Murder Mystery with everything you need to have an interactive and fun time working to solve the mystery. These boxed sets are available at most game stores or online. Even better, hire a local performance troupe to come and stage the mystery, involving all in a raucous time.
Special Spooky Guests
Consider hiring some Tarot or psychic readers to come to your party, or a hypnotist to do a session just for your guests. Your guests will be intrigued and involved, and you will be sure to have lots to think and talk about with each other during and after the party. You could even have a séance if your guests would be into that. Of course, only include this sort of idea if your guests would appreciate it and participate in it with open minds. You know who you are inviting, so choose a psychic reader accordingly.
Monster Maker
The best adult party games get everyone laughing and having fun. Divide the guests into teams of four to six players each. Instruct them that the object is to make a monster together with the number of feet and arms touching the floor matching the numbers called out by the host. All players must be linked together as one "monster body" for the monster to be valid. For example, the host calls out "6 feet and 7 arms," and each team has to get together into a single monster with that number of arms and feet touching the floor. No additional arms or feet may touch the floor. All teams must complete the pose, or they are out. Then the host calls out a different number combination, reducing one or the other of the numbers the next time. See which team can become a monster with the fewest numbers of arms and feet, and take pictures.
These Halloween games will remind adults why they found Halloween to be so much fun in the first place. And maybe you'll give them a little scare along the way.
