Why it works as a party game

Drawing party games love specific nouns. Halloween is made of them.

How to play

  1. Split into two teams. A drawer has 60 seconds and cannot speak.
  2. Prompts stay in a hat: films, creatures, and candy.
  3. A correct guess scores a point and rotates the drawer.
  4. Play until the hat is empty or a team hits ten.

Hosting tips

  • Ban letters and numbers on the page.
  • Keep a kids' hat with only creatures and candy.
  • Stand the board where costumes will not block it.
