- 4–12
- Time
- 10–15 min
- What you need
- A wall pumpkin, paper stems, tape, and a blindfold
Why it works as a party game
It is the Halloween cousin of pin the tail. Kids already know the rule, which is why it belongs in a line of party games.
How to play
- Hang a large paper pumpkin. Mark the true stem spot lightly.
- Spin the player once, not enough to fall.
- They walk forward and tape the stem.
- Measure. Closest stem wins a small candy.
Hosting tips
- Clear the path of chairs.
- Use a sleep mask so costumes do not fight a tight blindfold.
- Play two rounds; the second is always funnier.
