3. exciting Halloween games for adults
To keep boredom at bay at your Halloween party, we have a few fun game ideas for you:
Scary Flunkyball
A Halloween version of the popular drinking game: line up empty bottles and try to knock them over with a pumpkin. Whoever hits it gets to drink. For extra spookiness, fill the bottles with green-colored water.
Mummy wrapping
Divide into teams of two. One player must wrap their partner in toilet paper as quickly as possible. The team that creates a complete mummy first wins!
Halloween trivia
Test your guests' spooky knowledge with a Halloween quiz. Anyone who answers a question incorrectly has to drink a shot. Perfect for this is our "21 Drink Fun" card drinking game - simply label the cards with Halloween questions!
Creepy taboo
Play a Halloween version of Taboo: One player has to explain a scary term without using certain words. Whoever guesses gets to hand out a sip. Our "Let's Get Drunk" card drinking game is perfect for this!
4th costume contest: choose the spooky winner
No Halloween party is complete without a costume contest! Ask your guests to dress up and at the end of the party announce the winner in various categories:
- Scariest costume
- Most creative costume
- Best couple costume
- Funniest costume
A spooky trophy or a bottle of pumpkin liqueur is a great prize. For extra fun, you can also set up a photo corner with spooky props where your guests can have their picture taken.
5. mix Halloween cocktails
A cocktail station is a real eye-catcher at any Halloween party. Here are a few ideas for spooky drinks:
| Cocktail name | Ingredients | Scary factor |
|---|---|---|
| Bloody Martini | Vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice | Serve in a glass smeared with "blood" |
| Zombie punch | Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine | Garnish with edible glitter eyes |
| Witches' brew | Gin, elderflower liqueur, tonic water, blackberries | Serve steaming with dry ice |
Provide various syrups, juices and garnishes so that your guests can mix their own spooky creations. Our "Drunk Desires" erotic card drinking game can serve as fun inspiration!
6. scary escape room experience
Turn a room in your home into a Halloween-themed mini escape room. Hide clues and puzzles for your guests to solve in order to escape from the 'scary room'. Whoever manages it first wins a prize. Our "Risk It Or Drink It" card drinking game can serve as an additional challenge - if you can't solve a puzzle, you have to complete a task or drink!
7th horror movie marathon
Set up a cozy movie corner where your guests can relax in between watching classic Halloween movies. Here's a selection of movies for every scary taste:
| Movie | Genre | Scary level |
|---|---|---|
| Hocus Pocus | Comedy | Slightly creepy |

Provide popcorn and nachos and let your guests have a sip with every jump scare. Our "Sotally Tober" card drinking game is the perfect accompaniment to a scary movie night!
8th midnight séance
For the highlight of your party, you can organize a spooky séance at midnight. Darken the room, light candles and use a Ouija board to communicate with 'ghosts'. All for fun of course - but guaranteed to be a spooky experience!
With these ideas, your Halloween party for adults is guaranteed to be a complete success! Remember to celebrate responsibly and offer your guests non-alcoholic drinks.

Halloween party ideas for adults: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How can I decorate my home in a spooky way at a reasonable price?
You can make lots of Halloween decorations yourself: Cut out bats from black paper, paint preserving jars as ghosts or use old bed sheets as ghosts. Carving pumpkins and lighting them with LED candles is also cheap and effective.
Which games are particularly suitable for a Halloween party with adults?
Popular games include "Werewolves", a Halloween version of "Flunkyball" or our "Quick and Dirty" card drinking game with scary questions. A costume contest or a mini escape room also go down well with adults.
Are there vegetarian or vegan options for Halloween snacks?
Definitely! For example, you can serve guacamole as "witches' vomit", arrange vegetable sticks as "witches' fingers" or decorate hummus with black olives as a "spider's web". Popcorn can also easily be made spooky by sprinkling it with edible glitter.
