Why it works as a party game

It is apple bobbing without the tub. Halloween party games that use food disappear fast, which is a virtue.

How to play

  1. Tie one donut per player at mouth height.
  2. Hands stay behind backs. First to finish the donut wins.
  3. Drop the donut and you are out of that heat.
  4. Run two heats so late arrivals still get a turn.

Hosting tips

  • Use cake donuts. Yeast donuts tear off in one bite.
  • Put a towel under each player.
  • Have a non-food heat with hanging apples if anyone cannot eat sugar.
