Adult Halloween Games

| |

You can feel it in the air, that time of year. The cool crisp air, the carved and decorated pumpkins that adorn the porches of every house on your street, the stores are over flowing with clothing items that are less then every day wear. Yes, it is Halloween. You can almost hear the children charging down the street and screaming "Trick or Treat!" So what are you to do?
My darling little bat, Halloween is not just for children. This is the time of year when you, as an adult, get to play dress up and join in on the all the little tricks there are to get a treat. Throw a Halloween party and play some spooky adult Halloween games. Need ideas, ask nice and I will give you a treat!
First adult Halloween game idea is Tangled in the Spider's Web. I know you are already enticed by the title, but hear what you will need and how you are to play... it is similar to Twister but a little creepier.
o a long piece (about 20 feet) of yarn or string per guest
o a kitchen chair
o a white or black helium filled balloon for each guest
o a small prize for each guest
1. Attach one helium filled balloon to the end of each piece of yarn or string.
2. Place a kitchen chair in the center of the room.
3. Weave the loose end of the yarn around, under and through the legs, back and seat of the kitchen chair as well as around other pieces of furniture in the room like sofa's, tables, etc. Make sure the yarn is good and tangled!
4. Once the yarn is looped and twisted around various pieces of furniture, affix the special prize to the end of the yarn and hide it under or behind the sofa or table so it is hidden from view. A fun alternative to using prizes, is to write silly or embarrassing tasks that the guests must perform onto a card and attach the card to the end of the yarn.
5. To begin the game, have each guest select a balloon.
6. Guests must race to free their balloon from the yarn and then untangle all of the yarn to reach their prize.
Perhaps your Halloween festivities involve some devilish brew and you need a simpler adult Halloween game to keep the laughs going. Try Pumpkin Bowling! This is really quite simple.
Fill up ten 2 liter bottles about half way with water so that they are weighted down, and decorate them to fit the theme of your party. Yes, decorate them, it makes it even more fun. Set them up in a standard 10 pin layout. Have your guests bowl with pumpkins, I would recommend the smaller gourds as that they work best and create less mess. But it's your party, feel free to use small pumpkins for your adult Halloween game.
These are two fun little games to play with your adult friends at your Halloween bash. Don't let the children be the only ones enjoying Halloween, try one of those adult Halloween games above, they are a wicked good time.
