Bobbing for Apples Party Game

Why it works as a party game

This is the Halloween party game people already know. It looks messy, it is fast, and a wet winner is funnier than a clean one.

How to play

1. Fill a tub with cool water and float six to eight apples.
2. Players kneel or stand over the tub with hands behind their backs.
3. Give each player 20 seconds to catch an apple with their teeth.
4. First apple wins the round. Replace apples as they disappear.

Hosting tips

• Offer a dry version: apples hang on strings, still no hands.
• Keep hair tied back and skip this if anyone has an open cut.
• One towel per player. Shared towels end the game early.
