Updated on June 13, 2025, by Vaspaan Dastoor: As Halloween draws closer, you may find yourself being invited for, or hosting, a party or two. While we’re sure your parties are fun as they are, you may want to add a bit of spooky fun to them via some party games. We’ve added a few more party games to this list which will go along with the Halloween vibe.
Pick Your Poison Card Game
You and your friends have to pick the best of two terrible decisions in Pick Your Poison, a would-you-rather game where you have to judge which would be the better of two awful choices. This is the adult version of the game, so it might not be best for young kids.
Which would you rather do, get chased by a serial killer through a haunted house or brave a haunted house without a flashlight? You can pose tough questions like these and many many more to your friends and family with the Pick Your Poison card game.
You and the other players are presented with two choices, picking one of the two terrible options you’d rather submit yourself to. This is the After Dark edition too, giving you more raunchy and wilder decisions to make. There are 300 cards to pick from, giving you a whole night of horrible scenarios to put you and your friends through.
Death Charades: Silly Party Card Game
Act out some terribly spooky events and scenes in this deadly game of Death Charades. There are some truly terrifying cards in this game that’ll keep your party guessing and your guests entertained.
If you’ve ever wanted to divide your friends and family and pit them against each other in a battle of actions, strange body gestures, and angry guessing, all focused on terrible and horrible Halloween and horror themes, then Death Charades is just the game to bust out and ruin a party in a hilarious way.
The way Death Charades works is everyone at your party divides into two or more teams, and then starts acting out scenarios based on cards. You’ll have 45 seconds to guess what the player is doing, with the team to get the most correct answers winning the game. Some cards are easy to guess, like being bit by a vampire, while others are more difficult like you ate an incredibly poisonous puffer fish that accidentally made it into a sushi roll.
Zombie Kittens Card Game by Exploding Kittens
From the makers of Exploding Kittens comes Zombie Kittens, a card game where you want to stay alive as long as possible. Even if you get exploded you may always return thanks to the Zombie Kitten card!
From the creators of Exploding Kittens comes an undead twist on the game with Zombie Kittens. This fast-paced card game has players working to kick each other out of the game by playing specific cards until there’s just one player left standing. Following the Zombie theme, however, is the ability to return from the afterlife after being kicked out of the game with the special Zombie Cat card.
The best part of the Zombie Kittens Card Game is that you’re able to combine it with different versions of the game or play it on its own. Combining it adds new mechanics and new ways to play your older game while keeping it independent lets the Halloween horror together.
Halloween Inflatable Spooky Tree Ring Toss Game
Set up takes only seconds for this inflatable ring toss game, letting kids (or adults) test their mettle against a creepy tree and a bubbling cauldron. This party game can be played indoors, outside, or even in a pool.
If you’re looking for a party game geared towards a younger audience then this inflatable ring toss game is perfect for the little ghosts and ghoulies in your life. Everything in this toy is inflatable, making set up quick and easy and storing it once you’re done even easier.
The two main pieces of the toy are a spooky tree with branches to try and hook with the rings, and a cauldron, which can be flipped upside down to provide a nice challenge. It comes with a bunch of inflatable rings to toss, and even if you don’t have a younger crowd joining your Halloween, it can be a silly party game to bust out in the night.
Halloween Glow In The Dark Beer Pong Light Up Set
Grab a table and grab a drink to get ready for this spooky Halloween-themed beer pong set. Comes with glow-in-the-dark cups and balls, as well as LED lights to help you play at night.
One surefire way to get a Halloween party going is with a game of beer pong. Even if you don’t drink, the core of the game is a ton of fun and a great way to get everyone at your party up and in the party spirit.
This Halloween-themed beer pong set is completely glow-in-the-dark, so you’re able to play even with the witching hour rises at your Halloween party. Each cup comes with a little LED light in the base, which helps everyone see what’s happening at night, and they all have little spiders and cobwebs on them for some creepy decor. The best part of the set is the eyeball pong balls, an unnerving addition to any Halloween party.
Stupid Deaths The Party Game
If you have a darker sense of humor, you can bust out the Stupid Deaths party game. You have to escape death by digging to the bottom of these weird and terrifying deaths to escape the Grim Reaper to win.
Terror and fun come together in a single party game in Stupid Deaths, a card game all about getting to the bottom of some very unfortunate people who died in some very fortunate ways. Stupid Deaths has over 300 cards to choose from, each one with a person who has died in some way, though not every death is real.
It’s up to the players to determine which absurd death is real and which is fake, earning points for each correct answer to escape the Grim Reaper. Players win by reaching the end of a track on a special game board or by being the last player standing.
For a killer party
Whodunits are always a hit in almost any avenue. In this case There’s Been a Murder is a great way top get all your guests to work together to find the killer. The fun thing about this one is that there’s a chance that the killer can get away, so everyone will be on the top of their game to catch them.
Run, run, run away!
Now here’s a party game where instead of preventing something horrible, or catching the culprit, the players must compete to inflict the most amount of injury. Of course, this is done via the cards and injury points, not literally. It’s a fun twist where players try to become the best Psycho Killer in the room.
Instead of being the good guys, Psycho Killer tasks all players to be the worst among a room of bad people. This is done by collecting the most injury points for a drawn weapon card. The rules are pretty simple, lending perfectly to the Halloween party theme.
