Halloween Contests for Adults: Flickr Traditionally, Halloween isn't just about carving pumpkins, dressing up, and begging for candy. Games and entertainment are no less common. How can adults have fun and what games can they play on the most mysterious holiday?
What Halloween competitions are there for adults? There is a lot of entertainment: “Chamber of Horror”, “Bloody Mary”, “Denunciation to Count Dracula”, “Pumpkin Explosion”, catching apples from a barrel with your mouth. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.
"Room of Horror"
Halloween is a modern international holiday that incorporates the traditions of the ancient Celts. Wood Wanda in the book “Halloween. Terribly delicious recipes for All Saints' Day" says that the terrible holiday is celebrated annually on October 31. One of the favorite pastimes of people on this day is visiting a panic room. You can experience unforgettable emotions not only in the amusement park, but also at home.
How to hold a “Chamber of Horror” contest for Halloween? The owner of the house or the organizer of a Halloween party tells the guests that one of the rooms is hiding something terrible. So creepy that every person caught in it screams in horror. The party host then asks if there is a volunteer willing to visit the panic room.
Together with the daredevil, the organizer goes to a prepared room in which the lights are turned off and a candle is burning. The volunteer is given the opportunity to blow it out with a loud scream. After completing the task, the party host takes the participant who completed the task to another room and goes to the rest of the guests, asking if there are anyone else who wants to visit the secret place.
With each new person who wants to tickle their nerves, everything repeats itself, and tension and fear among the guests at this time increase. Daredevils are given memorable prizes, and those who refuse to visit the creepy room are given punishment. For example, fulfilling a wish.

If desired, the drink recipe can be changed. For example, add more hot sauce to it to experience a vivid sensation.
How to hold a Bloody Mary contest for Halloween? The rules are simple:
- First, prepare the Bloody Mary cocktail in a large container. Its quantity depends on how many people participate in the competition.
- Stand or sit in a circle.
- Fill one glass with cocktail.
- When the host turns on the music, pass the glass around until the music stops.
- The one who spills the drink or the one on whom the music ends becomes a Bloody Mary. Participants inform him of this with the phrase: “Now you are Bloody Mary.”
- The losing player drinks the cocktail glass to the bottom and is eliminated from the competition.
- The glass is refilled with the drink and the competition continues until there is only one winner left.

Game "Resident Evil". Rules of the game
The party organizer needs to divide the guests into 2-3 teams, depending on the number of people. These teams will be led by three clowns from famous scary films - Ronald McDonald, Pennywise and Joker (if there are few people, you can choose one of them if you wish). Ronald is a good character, Pennywise is an evil character, but the Joker came here with personal motives. The owner of the holiday needs to prepare in advance the attributes that will highlight each clown. You can print out IDs with photos and give them characteristic items (Pennywise - a balloon, Joker - a water gun, purple jacket, etc., MacDonald - socks with stripes). You can even put on makeup and wigs - it all depends on your imagination and possibilities.
Also, the organizer must write the roles of other team members on a piece of paper in advance and throw it into an opaque jar or hat. By drawing lots, everyone will choose a role and will also receive a certificate - a suitable accessory. These should be superheroes and ordinary people (for example, Batman, Catwoman, plumber). Thus, between the 2 teams after the draw there should be the same number of good and evil heroes. The teams' task is to decide once and for all who will defeat whom that night - good or evil. Each completed task gives points, while an uncompleted task results in the loss of one previously earned point. The team that ends up in second place not only lost, but also must complete an unpleasant task - for example, eat something tasteless (sour, salty). The organizer himself can judge the teams; if there are many guests, an independent jury can be created that will evaluate the performance of each competition.
†Task 1: “Guess the name”†
The presenter takes turns telling the three teams the names of witches, vampires, werewolves from fairy tales and films. One of them is not real, such a character does not exist. You need to understand which one and give as many correct answers as possible in 5 rounds of questions. For example: Maleficent, Bellatrix, Darla (the last one is fiction).
†Task 2: Scary - Notscary - Not scary at all†
Prepare 3 white envelopes with the inscriptions: “Scary”, “Not scary”, “Not scary at all”. Stir and leave face down. By drawing lots, each team captain must choose the envelope containing the tasks. For example, one may ask you to pretend to be a zombie, the second may ask you to give away a secret you are ashamed of, and the third may ask you to come up with a humorous poem about Halloween. The winner is determined by the organizer himself or, if there is one, by the jury.
†Task 3: Sweet Revenge†
Two or three members of different teams should stand at some distance from each other, holding deep bowls in their hands (and best of all, pumpkins with the pulp cut out). Other team members stand at a distance and take turns trying to throw candy into their player's bowl. Hitting someone else's target does not count. The team that collects as many candies as possible and receives fewer points.

†Task 4: Scary Letter†
In this task you need to prepare in advance several newspapers, blank A4 sheets, scissors and PVA glue. Teams, working together in a certain amount of time, must create a so-called letter from a maniacal kidnapper, cutting out entire words or individual letters from newspapers, as decided by the organizer himself. The winner will be the team that prepares the most creative and complete message within the allotted time. For example: “A stolen pumpkin will not be stored for long. If you want to see her still fresh, get double points for the task.”
†Task 5: Time of the Witch†
This competition will require quite a lot of space. A “hunter” is selected from each team, who is blindfolded and slightly spun. The participant must catch as many “witches” as possible within a certain time. At the same time, the “witches” are given bells that they must use from time to time to attract the player. The catch is that near the “hunter” there will be not only “witches”, but also ordinary citizens with candy in their hands. And the contestant will need to listen carefully to catch exactly the one he needs. If ordinary citizens were caught, they give candy, which takes away the point. The more candies, the fewer points for that competition.
†Task 6: Blindfolded†
Speed competition. Here we also deprive the participants of their vision. Representatives of each team are blindfolded and given a pencil or paints with an album or easel. In 1 minute, they must portray the captain of their team - that is, a clown - as accurately as possible. The scarier the better! The most gifted artist receives points for his team.

Catching apples from a barrel with your mouth
This traditional British game has been around for centuries. The British love the apple catching competition so much that they hold it not only on Halloween. As William Pokhlebkin explains in his book “Kitchen of the Century,” the game is traditionally held on November 5—Guy Fawkes Night.
How to hold a competition to catch apples from a barrel with your mouth on Halloween? Here are the rules of the game:
- Prepare a large container. A barrel, a large saucepan, or a basin will do.
- Pour water at a comfortable temperature into it.
- Throw pre-washed apples into the container.
- At the leader’s command, catch the apples with your mouth.
- The one who manages to get the fruit the fastest wins.
You can catch apples for a while. Then the one who gets the most apples in one game session (30 seconds, a minute) wins.

The Mystery of Destiny
The presenter gives the participants their new characteristics: cards with the inscription (for example, vampire, demon, sorcerer, werewolf) are fixed on the backs of the players. At the same time, everyone can read the names of the others, but cannot find out who they are. During the allotted time, players can ask questions about their “rank” to others, and answer others’ questions only “yes” or “no.” At the end, the players tell the host what they think is written on the card. Those who guessed correctly or were closest to the solution win.
"Denunciation to Count Dracula"
This is a unique variation of the well-known game “Broken Phone”. How to hold the “Denunciation to Count Dracula” contest for Halloween? You don't need any additional attributes to play, you just need to turn off or dim the lights. Here's how to play the game:
- Participants sit in one row.
- The last guest quietly, so that others do not hear, speaks into the neighbor’s ear any denunciation phrase about Count Dracula.
- Participants take turns passing information to each other.
- The first player loudly announces the denunciation he received through his comrades.
- When the phrase spoken by the last participant does not match the one spoken by the first player, team members find out who made the mistake and when. This guest is eliminated from the game.
- The competition lasts until there are three winners left. They are awarded memorable prizes.
Scary monster
Props:
- paper;
- pencils or markers.
The game can be played with both toddlers and older children.
The essence of the game: each participant is given a sheet of paper and he draws a monster's head on it. Next, the sheet is folded so that what is drawn is not visible, and the participants exchange drawings. The next stage is to draw the torso and arms, and again hide what was drawn. We exchange leaves and finish drawing the monster’s legs. Then the drawings are unfolded and shown to the public. Wild fun guaranteed! Another advantage of this entertainment is that there are no winners and losers - the work on the monsters is carried out jointly. But, as an option, you can vote for the scariest monster.
