Halloween Party Games for Adults and Kids

A Halloween scavenger hunt or treasure hunt is an easy game to fit into your party theme and fun for both kids and adults...

Festive Halloween Hunt
Hide mini pumpkins and gourds that have been painted, carves, or decorated around your home in between larger Halloween decorations. Each mini pumpkin creation also becomes an easy party favor.

Pirate Scavenger Hunt
Hide chocolate gold coins, and have a larger treasure box stashed with pirate themed loot such as bandannas, eye patches, jeweled rings, and other trinkets. Each coin found is worth one treasure item.

Spooky Scavenger Hunt
Cut paper ghosts out of white paper and decorate them with googly-eyes. The ghosts can be traded for special Halloween party foods and treats, such as ghost cookies or gummy bugs and creepy crawlies.

Treasure Hunt with Clues
This hunt has a lot more creativity involved, but well worth the effort. Each item hidden gets a clue - more fun if you can get them to rhyme. For example, if I were going to hide one of those gross slime eyeball toys, I'd give this clue: "Something we can use to see, but not in place it's quite squishy..." :-)

Another fun Halloween party game for adults and kids is Name that Candy Bar Game.

Call out the clues and give the first person to have the correct answer the appropriate candy bar, or print out multiple lists of clues and use them for a scavenger hunt. Give out larger prizes for those with the most correct answers.
