Invite your dressed-up party people to post a selfie on Instagram with the hashtag or your choosing. (Ex: #SpookedSelfie). Whoever gets the most likes has to throw the next party!

Hold a “press conference” and have guests answers questions (in character!) from the rest of the skeleton crew. Give ’em juicy Qs that they can really sink their fangs into.

Have thespian partygoers jot down a bunch of ooky, spooky, or kooky Halloween-y scenarios to act and react to. (Think: Dracula has come to suck your blood!) Throw these gems into a plastic pumpkin, then have one person draw and act out their scenario while others guess along.

Pull up a few chairs, spook ’em out with bone-chilling decor like a skeleton or tombstone backer, and then crank up “Monster Mash.”

Whip up two batches of Jell-O shots — one is spiked with alcohol (treat!), the other is not (trick). Serve them on a tray and let guests go “trick-or-treating!”

Donut underestimate how tasty a little competitive eating can be. To play, string donuts spaced out on a long stick (a broom is totally witchy!) Then, blindfold guests, tie their hands behind their backs, and have them race to see who finishes first.

On the count of three, all partygoers have the option to “transform” into a zombie, witch, or ghost. The zombie stretches their arms out in front of them; the witch lifts her arms overhead in a triangle shape (think pointy hat); the ghost stretches their arms out to the sides ...

Put together a list of Halloween-themed items to find around town (a smashed pumpkin, a clown, and so on), then split party guests into teams and see who can take photos of every item on their list to win the scavenger hunt.

Crank the tunes and get everyone grooving on the dance floor. When the music stops, everyone has to freeze. If you move, you’re out. The last one standing wins.

A favorite of parents who just want a hot second of silence, The Quiet Game is a classic that forces participants to zip their talking lips. Make a peep? You’re out! Try it after a few cocktails and report back.
