Adult Halloween Games

What is great about adults is that they can play games meant for children and still have a lot of fun doing them. If you are having a Halloween party, you can do some things that are usually done at kids parties. However, you also want to think up some adult Halloween games that you can offer them as well. It really depends on who you are having over for your event, how well you know them, and what types of personalities they have. Most groups of friends share the same sense of humor, so that part should not be too hard when having a party with friends.

You can go with kids games that are not really for kids any longer. Though bobbing for apples is something that some kids play, many parents shy away from it because of the part about putting a head in a tub of water. This can be great choice of adult Halloween games though, and it will make them feel young again. Just remember, this is one of the adult party games that you want to do early in the evening, as it may not turn out well if you have some drunk friends sticking their head in water.

You may not think that adults are into scavenger hunts, but these are a lot of fun no matter what age you are. In fact, adults have more freedom to roam around where they need to go to find what is on their list. That means some very hilarious situations. Adult Halloween games like these are best for the older group because you don’t have to worry about the adults when they go out, as long as they have not been drinking too much. It is best to play any adult Halloween games before the drinking starts, if you choose to have alcohol at your party.

You can also go back to childhood a bit with another type of adult Halloween games. You can instruct everyone to come with a clean face so that you can give each other makeovers, and then go out about town with the new faces. This can be a lot of good fun, as you are at the mercy of the person that is applying your makeup and/or face paint. Get plenty of colors and accessories for adult Halloween games like this, and be sure you have your digital camera out to save the memories for years to come.

I just thought I'd let you know that you're right about having some adult games for parties and not just have them for children. At a pirate-themed birthday party, the adults wanted in on the action but couldn't. It was funny to watch. As soon as we got home, my hubby found this pirate costume http://www.squidoo.com/plus-size-pirate-costumes to wear?! Kids!

Wow! You've really got some great ideas for Halloween parties! I love the idea of painting each others' faces - if your friends are particularly mischievous, then your face make-up won't match your Halloween costume. So you could end up in your Michael Jackson Thriller costume with Mario moustache and make-up:

I really like the idea of the makeovers. Especially if you don't get to see your own face until you hit the streets and crash some Halloween Parties :-) And while at it, one has to wear the Hugh Hefner Santa Jacket. How cool is that? http://www.squidoo.com/hugh-hefner-halloween-costu

Thanks for spreading the word about adult Halloween games. You're right, it's not just for kids. I'm thinking about a costume without a mask like this great Emma Frost costume http://www.squidoo.com/WolverineEmmaFrostCostumes I find it'll be easier if I do a face-painting game for my party like you described here.

I love dressing up at halloween but one of the things I like to do is to dress up in an adult halloween costume that is totally different and very often not halloween based. One of the costumes that I am considering using, you can see here http://www.squidoo.com/amazingspidermancostumes Now what could be cooler than going has this guy, I just wish they'd find out a way to let you stick to the walls, now that would be great lol. Great hub very much enjoyed it, thanks.
