Halloween Party Games
Halloween Charades Party Game
Act out a monster, movie, or candy. Your team has one minute.

- Players
- 6–16
- Time
- 20–35 min
- What you need
- A hat of Halloween prompts and a one-minute timer
Why it works as a party game
Charades already works. Halloween just writes a better hat: witches, slashers, and candy bars the room can actually mime.
How to play
- Write 16 prompts: movies, creatures, and Halloween jobs.
- Teams take one-minute turns. No talking, no pointing at costumes.
- A correct guess scores a point and they may draw again if time remains.
- First team to eight, or high score after four turns each, wins.
Hosting tips
- Skip prompts only one friend would know.
- Allow a movie-title gesture so the actor can start faster.
- Keep a second hat of easy candy names for mixed-age rooms.
