Have you decided to host a Halloween party for your friends this year, and are absolutely clueless about how to make it fun and entertaining for everybody? If the answer is yes then you’re in the right place.
This article is all about planning a Halloween night that you and your friends will remember for decades. With the spooky season just approaching us fast, everybody is starting to plan parties for Halloween. But figuring out the activities for the best party ever can be a bit tricky. Here are a few ways that will elevate your and your friend’s Halloween experience this year:
A Halloween Charade
Who doesn’t love playing charades, right? Well, this Halloween, you can bring an interesting twist to your charades games and make them entirely Halloween-themed. You can divide the game into multiple sections, reserving a section for fictional scary or spooky characters, one for any literary horror work done over the course of history, and one consisting of references to horror movies.
To make it even more fun and add a layer of difficulty to it, throw in some drinks. Players have to follow one specific rule: if they fail at conveying their charades word/phrase/name to their partner, they have to take a drink. Chances are, eventually everybody will be tipsy enough to struggle to guess anyway, and that makes this game even more fun to play!
Make Use of Your Yard
Trick-or-treat is everybody’s favorite Halloween tradition, and those who don’t admit this are lying! Okay, maybe not, but most people become instantly nostalgic at the idea of going for trick-or-treat and are transported back to their childhood, reviving those memories. If you’re a parent, an uncle, auntie, or even a grandparent, you must be planning trick-or-treat for the beloved children in your life.
But for those of you adults who want a trick-or-treat adventure within your own house, and that too designed specifically for adults, using the backyard to create a trick-or-treat treasure hunt would be a great idea! You need to plan a scavenger hunt based on clues, and the treats come in the form of immaculate Halloween-themed cocktails! Whoever guesses the location of the “treats” based on the given clues, or simply stumbles upon them, gets to have a drink!
Bar Hopping for Halloween
If you and your gang are feeling outdoorsy, there’s always the option of hunting for a fun bar crawl to visit. Bar crawls can be a lot of fun if you don’t want the hassle of having to plan a night; all you need is great research skills to find the top bar crawl in your area that is organized.
It helps if you’re familiar with agencies and entertainment companies that organize concerts, etc. These companies usually arrange for holiday-themed events as well. Once you have found the right event, you need to convince your friends, arrange everybody’s tickets, and finally, on the day of the event, you have to make sure everybody shows up in stunner costumes.
If you still aren’t sure how to find a bar crawl event, you can do a quick Google search. Let’s say you live in Cleveland; type “Cleveland Halloween bar crawl” in the Google search bar and check out the first few options on the search page, check the reviews, see what fits your vibe, and get a ticket.
A Mixology Faceoff
Another fun game that you can include in your cozy, homey Halloween party if you’re not feeling outdoorsy is a mixology contest that’s Halloween-themed. What you need for this game is a bunch of different alcohols and some cocktail basic ingredients, such as lime, mint, vermouth, and as many of them as you can arrange, basically.
Don’t forget to buy some Halloween-themed garnish for the drinks! Next step, allow your friends to get creative and make everybody create fun and spooky-looking drinks. It’s the perfect way of getting drunk while actually enjoying Halloween.
Beer Pong But for Halloween
Beer pong is a timeless way of enjoying drinks and getting drunk slowly, but definitely. Here’s how you can tailor this game to your Halloween party. Decorate the table with a set of themed decor pieces, so based on your audience, it can probably look like a witch’s counter of potions or Dracula’s torture altar. Once you have the theme defined, add relevant decor and accessories, such as cups in specific colors of your theme. Add a touch of mystery and woo-woo to your drinks with fun colors and glitter and that’s it! You have Halloween beer pong all ready and planned.
Conclusion
As adults, it is easier to forget all the fun that Halloween can bring. Still you can definitely elevate the experience for you and your friends by incorporating some alcohol into the celebration. It is motivation enough to hang out, dress up crazy and have a bunch of fun.
