In Betrayal, your group explores a haunted house, encountering all sorts of spooky and scary phenomena. No matter what your Halloween festivities look like, we've rounded up the 10 best Halloween party games for adults to keep any size crowd engaged, entertained, and in the spirit all night long.No Halloween list would be complete without this “grand-daddy of gruesome” game from Avalon Hill. You could build your entire Halloween party around the plot-food and drinks, candles, music, decorations, and of course costumes. To really immerse yourself, try a Halloween party game like a murder mystery kit where everyone plays a part like our Masters of Mystery and Avalon Hill picks below.

For those who prefer tournament-like escapades, plan a pumpkin-themed festival and tally points from pumpkin carving contests, pumpkin checkers, speed pumpkin gutting, and more. If your Halloween party is more low-key like a movie night or a small cocktail party, games like trivia or charades can add another level of fun. To put a seasonal spin on some of your favorite drinking games like beer pong or flip cup, simply draw an eye on the ball or use red food coloring to give your beverages a vampiric twist. Some easy Halloween party games are holiday versions of games you already know. Whether your crew is into spooky trivia, murder mysteries, or the quintessential bobbing for apples, there are plenty of on-theme (and actually fun) Halloween party games for adults with rules that don't take 30 minutes to explain.

But while Halloween is a great theme in and of itself, it takes more than your Monster Mash playlist playing on loop to keep your guests entertained. Halloween parties combine all of our favorite things: great costumes, great home decor, and great friends.
