Games and competitions for Halloween

The Mystery of Destiny

The presenter gives the participants their new characteristics: cards with the inscription (for example, vampire, demon, sorcerer, werewolf) are fixed on the backs of the players. At the same time, everyone can read the names of the others, but cannot find out who they are. During the allotted time, players can ask questions about their “rank” to others, and answer others’ questions only “yes” or “no.” At the end, the players tell the host what they think is written on the card. Those who guessed correctly or were closest to the solution win.

Games and competitions for Halloween

A Halloween party can feature many popular games tailored to the theme of the holiday. For example, everyone knows the game of passing an object in a circle accompanied by music. Whoever has the object in his hands at the moment when the music stops must, for example, crow and leave the game. And then the transfer of the item continues until one participant remains. On Halloween, you can have similar fun by passing a pumpkin or a plastic model of a skull around in a circle. The one who has the transferred object in his hands at the moment the music is turned off needs to scream loudly, as if from fear, and leave the circle.

The well-known entertainment “Musical Chair” (everyone walks around the chairs, and when the music stops, they rush to sit down) can also be adapted. You can, for example, walk around a table on which there are heads of garlic - one less than the number of participants. When the music stops, everyone takes a head of garlic in their hands. Those who didn't have enough were bitten by a vampire. This means that he has no place among people, and he drops out. The music needs to be chosen appropriately – suspenseful, alarming. The soundtrack from “The Pink Panther” would also work.

You can organize competitions to quickly drink tomato juice, which at Halloween is called nothing more than blood.

And among adults, you can hold a pairs competition to drink Bloody Mary: cocktails (vodka with tomato juice) are made in tall glasses, each pair is given a glass and two straws. Whichever pair empties the glass through the straws the fastest wins the prize.

Relay races are traditional at holidays. On Halloween, you can hold a relay race for high-speed transfer of “eyes” in a spoon. The eyes are painted tennis balls. The eye ball is placed in a spoon and carried by team members.

We offer several more games and competitions for Halloween.

Competition "Terrible Spell"

To warm up, all party participants will have to come up with the most terrible, dark, creepy spell and pronounce it in the most terrible, dark, creepy voice. At the same time, your spell may not contain wise words or deep thoughts. It’s even better if it’s just a set of inarticulate sounds, but said in a heartbreaking and convincing way - the main thing is to make everyone around you feel creepy (or funny). The winner is the most terrible spellcaster.

game "Witch's eyes"

For this game you will need the following props:

a large cardboard box without one side wall so that viewers can clearly see what is happening inside;
cut a hole on top so that a hand can pass through, but the owner of the hand himself cannot look into the box;
several plates with grapes, orange slices, soft jelly sweets without wrappers, boiled pasta, mashed potatoes, semolina porridge, etc.

The participant is invited to put his hand in the box and by touch determine the menu for today's festive evening: “Boiled Witch Eyes”, “Italian Mealworms”, “Brains of a Young Virgin”, etc. At this time, the presenter puts another plate with the announced “delicacies” in the box. Spectators can only have fun watching the hand, and most importantly, the expression on the participant’s face. Don’t forget to then offer the participant a wet napkin to wipe away “traces of the crime.”

competition "Feed the Leshy"

One pair from each team participates. The Leshys from each team sit on chairs, and the Kikimoras are blindfolded and given treats for the Leshys, for example, boiled potatoes, a slice of bread, a cake or a pickled cucumber. The kikimor is turned around an axis several times to confuse it. Leshy do not speak, but only make hissing sounds “sh-sh-sh” or “ch-ch-ch”, by which Kikimors must find them. Kikimor's task is to find her Leshy and feed him before her rival. It turns out very funny if Kikimors suddenly feed someone else's Leshy.

game "Ball"

Two people participate. They sit at the table opposite each other, and an inflated balloon is placed on the table. Participants are blindfolded and asked to blow on the ball so that it ends up on the opponent's half. But as soon as the participants begin to blow, the ball is removed, and a full plate of flour is placed in its place. From the outside it looks fun.

competition "Walk through the swamp"

For this competition you will need sheets of A4 paper - these will be the bumps. The participants’ task is to go through the “swamp”, stepping only on bumps. To do this, after each step you need to take the sheet behind you, place it in front of you and take the next step. A participant who misses and does not hit the bump with his foot is pulled into the “swamp” and leaves the game. The winner is the one who passed the “swamp” first.

game "Sushi on the body"

A girl and a guy are invited to participate in the game. The girl lies down, and small edible products are laid out scattered on her: candies, cookies, nuts, etc. The guy, blindfolded and with his hands behind his back, must find and eat the girl's treats. While the task is being explained to the guy with his eyes closed, the girl is quickly exchanged for the guy. At the command of the leader, the participant in the game begins to absorb pieces of food, unaware of the replacement.

game "Yellow Bows"

Three or more people participate. To begin with, a girl is invited to the center. Two (three) male players are blindfolded. The first blindfolded man is given yellow ribbons in his hands, and he must tie a bow anywhere on the girl. The second man's task is to feel the bow on the girl and untie it. Then the girls carry out the same manipulations with the man. And so on until everyone has tried these roles.

competition "Mummy"

What would Halloween be without the traditional and beloved Mummy! But there can be several options for performing the competition: the already familiar economical one - using a roll of toilet paper, or more expensive, but much more interesting - wrapping with bandages. The competition can be complicated by asking two (or more) teams to build, for example, a Snowman Mummy or a Polar Bear Mummy. What do you think of the Autumn Mummy - decorated with colorful leaves? And the Stationery (Office) Mummy - with attached pencils and pens? By hiding apples, nuts or other protruding objects under layers of bandages, you will get a terrible monster with tumors and warts. The most original copy wins, of course.

Letter from a maniac

The players are divided into two teams, which are given newspapers. The teams’ task is to compose and paste a “threatening” letter on paper within the allotted time, cutting out only whole words from newspapers. The winning team is chosen based on the quality and quantity of the text.

The Mystery of Destiny

Zombies and mummies

Draw a large circle with chalk, place 2 chairs far apart from each other inside. The presenters divide the players into teams of “zombies” and “mummies”, blindfold them and mix them among themselves. Zombies say "Uh-uh" and mummies say "Uh-uh." You need to gather your team in a “huddle” around a chair without leaving the circle. The one who crossed the border is eliminated from the game and helps the presenters. The team with the most participants in the allotted time wins.

Pass to the Sabbath

The host asks the players a question: “Who wants to go to the Sabbath?” Each participant must say who he is (any word: witch, skeleton, closet, cucumber) until the host lets him through. You can skip a person based on any pre-selected criterion (for example, the first letters of the skip words are vowels). The players' task is to find out what criterion the presenter uses.

Bridge over the abyss

The players are divided into pairs. Each is given three sheets of A4 format. The task of the contestants is to cross them, moving from one to another, across the “abyss”. Since walking over the abyss is dangerous, team members must protect each other - hold hands during the transition, without letting go. The team that completes the task the fastest wins.

Holiday makeup

Participants are divided into several teams of 3-5 people. Each team receives a set of props for applying “makeup” and a task: a list of monsters to paint as. Props can be cosmetics (or gouache and brushes) in white, black and red. In the allotted time, the team must color all its players according to the list received, and the guests must choose the best option.

Ghoul Dinner

For the competition you will need a “cauldron” (any sufficiently large container will do) and toy or edible “nasties”: spiders, eyes, worms, jaws, etc. In extreme cases, ordinary candies will do. Participants need to take turns throwing the ingredients for the “soup” into the cauldron. The winner can be determined in different ways: it can be the one who threw the last ingredient or the one who never hit.

Werewolf Potion

Requires preliminary preparation. Edible ingredients are poured and poured into containers of various sizes and shapes. An “alchemist” is selected from those who wish. He collects 3-5 random containers, from which he mixes a “potion” in any proportions (for example, a pinch of powder from a jar, a glass of one liquid and 3 drops of another) and comes up with who the recipient turns into. The remaining werewolf players must take a sip of the potion and determine who they turned into and why. The winner is the one who guessed what the alchemist intended, or the one who came up with the best explanation.

Terrible witchcraft

Participants must come up with and cast a “real spell,” which should not contain meaningful words or phrases. It is important that the invented set of sounds sound as dark as possible, and most importantly, explain to others what magical effect is achieved with the help of what is spoken. It will be interesting if the result of the spell is something funny, for example, “This curse causes frogs to grow on a person’s nose.”

Witch-hunt

The "witch hunter" is blindfolded and spun around. The remaining participants (“witches” and “citizens”) move around chaotically. The highlight is that the witches have bells in their hands, and it is these that the Hunter must catch in a minute or two, after which the next Hunter is chosen (by lot). The one who makes the fewest mistakes wins.

The art of transformation

Participants are divided into teams, each choosing a volunteer and a mystical character. After this, the teams are asked to dress up the chosen one from the opposing team within the allotted time. To create the image, newspapers and paper clips (clothespins) are used. The audience guesses which characters are in front of them. The team that achieves the most recognizable result wins.

Ghost head

An inflated balloon with a painted face is placed in the middle of the table. Two participants are blindfolded, seated at a table opposite each other and asked to blow the ball towards the opponent. Before the contestants begin, the ball is removed and a plate of flour is placed in its place. Not only the ball turns out to be a ghost, but also the participants.

Catching apples with teeth from a bucket of water

To do this, fill a large, clean container almost completely with water (it's better to use wide, rectangular household containers rather than buckets). Children take turns putting their heads into the container and trying to catch the apple with their teeth. You can't help yourself with your hands. You can set the condition that the first one to catch an apple is the winner, or so that the game has no winners, just that each participant must catch his own apple from the water. The game must take place in the presence of adults.

"Pumpkin Explosion" Halloween game

Do you want Halloween to start with a bang, not a boom? Then make this playful wall decoration. Any partygoer can come up and blow up part of the balloon pumpkin and get some candy out of it.

Tools and materials to create the Pumpkin Explosion game: a piece of foam, 2 meters of burlap or other fabric, double-sided adhesive tape, removable hooks (for hanging the board, but you can just put it on the floor), thirty-five orange balloons, confetti, green paper, ribbon (string), snaps (point pen or darts for big kids), funnel.

We make a lid from polystyrene foam and burlap. We attach it to the wall with double-sided tape or removable hooks.
Fill the balloons with confetti (using a funnel) and candies. You can leave some balloons empty or add their wishes inside.
Inflate the balloons (the pump makes it faster); tie it in a knot. Attach the pumpkin-shaped balls with double-sided tape (you only need a little bit).
Cut out the pumpkin root from green paper and secure it on top.
Cut some tape and attach pens or a dart arrow to the thumbtack to make them easier to hold (and find if dropped).

"Hit the Pumpkin" game for Halloween

Cut out a pumpkin (or two, or three) and line the inside with aluminum foil. Make the top hole large. Place the pumpkin a couple of meters from the player. Give each player ten to twenty kopecks. Every time a penny hits the pumpkin, you win candy.

"Pumpkin bowling" game for Halloween

Choose a small pumpkin (depending on the age of your guests).

You also need 1- or 2-liter plastic bottles and tape for the bowling starting line. Fill the bottles with a little sand or rice if they tip over too easily. You can also decorate the bottles eerily with markers, stickers, and other art supplies.

"Evil spirits in touch" Halloween game

A game similar to "broken phone". The players sit in a line and whisper to each other a phrase invented by the leader. The participants’ task is to convey the phrase with minimal distortion. An interesting addition in the spirit of the holiday is that the game takes place in complete darkness and phrases such as: “I’ll eat you,” “Let’s go drink some blood,” “Fresh meat,” “We’ll get to you,” etc. .

"Creepy howl" game for Halloween

Participants take turns emitting a terrible scream (howl, groan). The one who produces the wildest and most terrible scream is declared the winner and receives a prize.

"Will-o'-the-wisp" Halloween game

You will need: flashlight, music.

All participants sit in a circle. The lights in the room are turned off, and one of the players is given a burning flashlight. Soft music should be playing, preferably something creepy. A will-o'-the-wisp (flashlight) is passed from one player to another until the music stops. The player who has Will-o'-the-wisp at that moment is eliminated. The game continues until one player remains, and he wins.

"Mummy" game for Halloween

You will need: a large amount of toilet paper.

This is a team game. Players are divided into teams of two. One will play the role of the Mummy, the other will be the Egyptian. At the signal, the Egyptian must wrap the Mummy with toilet paper from head to toe as quickly as possible (the eyes, mouth and nose, of course, remain “free”). The one who made the Mummy faster wins. Just be careful: if the paper tears, the team is out of the game!

Ghost Hunt

You will need: a scarf.

To begin with, you must select a “ghost hunter”. He needs to be blindfolded with a scarf. The rest of the participants are now ghosts, they dance around the hunter, and the hunter tries to grab them. If he succeeds, then the captured ghost moans and laments pitifully. If the hunter recognizes the ghost by its voice and calls its name, they change roles. However, if the hunter does not guess correctly, he must try his luck with another caught player.

Sinister pouch

You will need: a small bag; a number of strange or unpleasant to the touch objects (dried plums, wrinkled carrots, mushroom caps, wet sponges, etc.)

First, you need to put all the items in a bag (preferably before the guests arrive). Participants sit in a circle. The presenter, in a creepy tone, tells a chilling story about where and how he found the bag (for example, in a cemetery, in a haunted house, or is it a gift from a ghost, etc.) The first player is invited to take something in the bag (look inside and You cannot feel the bag!). It is prohibited to remove the item. After the player grabs an item, he must invent the scariest story possible about it. For example, a player finds a dried plum and assumes that it is someone's plucked out, shrunken eye. And makes up a story about him. At the end of the story, the narrator finally pulls this thing out of the bag and, as a rule, is surprised at how far his imagination can take him. After this, the bag is passed to the next player, who tells his story about another item.

Blowing a “balloon” for Halloween

An inflated balloon is placed in the middle of the table. The two participants are blindfolded and sit opposite each other at the table. They are asked to compete in blowing up the ball. However, as soon as the contestants begin to blow, the ball is removed and a plate generously filled with flour is placed in its place. The participants are amazed, and when their eyes are untied, they usually have fun with everyone

"Take care of your eyes" game for Halloween

You will need: a table tennis ball, painted like an eyeball; tablespoon. Participants must divide into two groups. A short section of the path is indicated (start and finish). Each participant, in turn, must cover this distance while carefully carrying the “eye” in a spoon. The “eye” should not fall! If it still falls, the player returns to the start and goes through the path again. The team that finishes the relay faster wins.

"Fortune" game for Halloween

You will need: lemon juice, pieces of paper, a thin brush, a lamp.

With this game you can make a strong impression on your guests! It's almost as if you could predict their future. First you need to prepare. Write a few words on pieces of paper with a brush dipped in lemon juice. On some write a number, on others the words “yes”, “no” and “maybe”. Don't be upset that you don't see the inscription, everything is going according to plan. Place the pieces of paper in a certain way in a pile (those with numbers - in one, and those with words - in another), just be sure to remember where you have what: where are the numbers, and where are the words. Your lamp, which you place on the table, will serve as a magical crystal ball. Now let's move on to the game itself. Ask your guests to ask you a question. If the question requires the answers “yes”, “no” and “maybe”, then you take a piece of paper from one pile and hold it to the lamp. After a while, the invisible font appears and your guests are delighted! If the question requires a number in the answer (for example, what grade will I get next time in math?), then simply take a piece of paper from another pile and show it.

Game "I'm Scarier"

For this game you will need markers and inflated balloons in an amount equal to the number of participants in the game. The players' task is to draw a monster's face on the ball. The author of the scariest balloon wins this competition.

"Witch's Pantry" Halloween game

In the room (the more spacious, the better) you need to hide in the corners, under the sofa, table, or hang all kinds of “evil spirits” from the walls and ceiling: toy and rubber frogs, snakes, spiders, lizards, bats, insects, cobwebs, etc. . The lights in the room turn off and the players turn on, who can illuminate themselves, for example, with their mobile phones. Participants are asked to find as many ingredients as possible (and list all that are hidden) for a magical witch soup. It is advisable to limit the search by time, after which the winner is chosen, who found the largest number of creatures in the witch's closet.

"Dance of the Witches" Halloween game

Halloween Pranks

Prank game "Mummy"

The presenter invites everyone to take turns visiting the mummy’s crypt. The mummy's crypt is set up in the next room. The lights in the room are turned off and several candles are lit. A person lies down on the sofa and covers himself with a sheet. An open trough with yogurt or soft cottage cheese is placed on the mummy's face. The driver, having entered the “crypt” with the “victim,” begins to tell in a sepulchral voice: “This is the crypt of a mummy. This is a mummy's coffin (pointing to the sofa). This is the leg of the mummy (at this moment the driver takes the palm of the “victim” and applies it to the leg of the person lying under the sheet). This is the mummy's hand (the victim's palm is applied to the hand). This is the neck of the mummy (the palm is placed on the neck). And this is the eye of the mummy (the presenter, holding the victim by the finger, pokes it into the place on the sheet covering the trough with yogurt). For this prank to be successful, several rehearsals are necessary. Try not to prank overly impressionable people.

"Pharaoh" Halloween prank

We choose a girl and blindfold her. We bring her to the table on which someone is lying. Her hands are taken and applied to different parts of the lying body. At the same time, each time they say: “here is the leg of the pharaoh, here is the belly of the pharaoh, here ...”, and at the end the hands are lowered into some salad and they say “but the brains of the pharaoh.” The result is unpredictable.

“Chamber of Horrors” Halloween prank

The organizer of the holiday invites the bravest volunteer to visit the room of horrors. The volunteer goes with the leader into a dark bathroom. He receives the task of shouting to extinguish the candle burning there. After this, the volunteer is prohibited from telling the other guests what happened in the horror room. As a result, the next participant who heard the terrible screams goes into the horror room with some apprehension. And after several participants who were in the room uttered heartbreaking “screams of horror,” the rest of those present were afraid to go there.

"Old Dead Joe's Cave" Halloween Prank Game

This is delightfully "scary" fun for older children. To organize such a game, you will have to work hard in advance to equip a special darkened room, placing in it on stands or just chairs various “body parts” of “Old Dead Joe”: “eyes”, “tongue”, and so on. They should be placed in vessels or containers of suitable volume, mostly filled with warm water. Each of the children who is brave enough for this is blindfolded and allowed to enter the “cave” - no more than one child at a time. You, as a good owner, should lead the child from one scary object to another, each time allowing him to put his hands into the vessel and try to determine by touch what it contains. All other children at this time should sit quietly and, with bated breath, listen to the squeals and screams of the daredevil, who is being led through the “cave.”

Any room with tightly closed curtains or even a corridor (if the holiday takes place after sunset) can serve as a cave - just don’t turn on the lights, and participants are guaranteed a scary experience

Here are the body parts of “Old Dead Joe” that you need to make and place in the “cave” in advance:

“Old Dead Joe's Bones” - find tree branches of a suitable size on the street and free them from branches and leaves;;
"Old Dead Joe's Guts" - a large bowl filled with moist, slimy noodles;
Old Dead Joe's Heart is a very large peeled tomato;;
"Old Dead Joe's Eyes" - a small container filled with water in which two large grapes float;
"Old Dead Joe's Teeth" - a metal pot or kettle filled with small stones or hard candy;
"Old Dead Joe's Hair" is a human hair wig stretched over a ball;
"Old Dead Joe's Ears" - two halves of an artichoke (with the sharp spines trimmed);
"Old Dead Joe's Nose" - a raw potato cut into the shape of a nose;
Old Dead Joe's Fingers - cold sausages;
finally, "Old Dead Joe's Blood" is a pot or jug filled with warm tomato juice.

You will need to have a towel on hand to dry your child's hands after they have gotten into the blood.

When you leave the “cave” with a child, you can do a great job of intimidating children who have not yet visited the cave by loudly declaring: “Run, go and wash the blood off your hands: otherwise the whole parquet will be covered in blood!” The squeals and delight of the festival participants are guaranteed.

You will also need a flashlight to help you navigate your way through a dark room. Of course, the child will be blindfolded, but you will need a little light to guide him by the hand from vessel to vessel. Be sure to videotape the entire celebration (including your visit to “Old Dead Joe’s Cave”); it can be successfully demonstrated to guests closer to the end of the holiday.

The most terrible death

Competition for the best horror story and fantasy. Each of the participants in turn must tell the most terrible story of death, for example, A man was flying on a plane, but then his heart stopped, but he was saved, suddenly the plane got into a storm and the engine began to burn, the man jumped out of the plane with a parachute, the parachute did not open , but after the 10th try it still worked, but then lightning struck and hit the man directly, he was killed, but a few seconds later he woke up, got caught on tree branches, suddenly a kite flew in and began to peck at him, but then the branches broke and the man fell into the sea, began to swim to the shore, and then a shark bit off his leg, but the man was able to get to the shore, began to lose consciousness from loss of blood, but still made it to his home, bandaged his wounds and poured tea for himself and died. And the whole point is that his wife mixed a strong poison into the sugar bowl. End. Which of the guys (based on voting) can write the scariest, most interesting and longest story will receive a prize.

If you recognize the object, don’t eat this disgusting thing

Guests sit in a circle with their eyes closed. The presenter throws some scary object into the circle over the hands, for example, a rubber spider or a toy rat, jaws (chewing candy) or a real chicken foot. Whichever of the guests is the first to place the object in his hands is a good fellow and leaves the circle. The last 3 participants who remained in the circle and did not guess a single item will be punished, for example, they will drink a glass of blood (tomato juice) or eat a spoonful of brains with their eyes closed (any salad or porridge).

Vampire Assassination

Among the guys there are 2 vampires (for plausibility, they can wear vampire jaws, which are sold in any joke store). The rest of the guests are ordinary people, who will be attacked by vampires as night falls. The lights go out, the vampires go out hunting and try to bite their victim's neck if they are caught. The game lasts about a minute, guests run away from vampires, and vampires chase guests. Then the lights turn on and daylight begins. Vampires, in order not to die, must have time to hide under the table, under the blanket. If the vampire does not hide, he dies; if the vampire catches the guest and bites him, the guest turns into a vampire and this is how the game continues: a minute is night, a minute is day. At the end of the game we will see who is stronger: the vampires who were able to join their ranks or the ordinary people who were able to resist them.

The Halloween quest for adults and teenagers includes 10 colorful themed tasks. The solution to each puzzle reveals the location where the next clue is hidden. Thus, a chain of tasks is obtained that must be completed step by step in order to find the cache with the hidden prize.
The kit allows you to create any unique search chain: tasks can be laid out in any order and made in any number of stages, and you can also choose any convenient place for the final destination where you want to hide the prize for completing the quest. The kit offers two search chains: for conducting the quest in an apartment and on the street (in the courtyard of a private house). If you want to use other places or you need to organize a quest for several teams, it is possible to create the desired search chain using a special decoder (details included) - for this you need to edit just one page in the template.
The tips are colorfully designed and contain a variety of puzzles, tasks for attentiveness, ingenuity and quick thinking. They are based on intellectual and verbal games, composing anagrams and various types of ciphers.
Suitable for black and white printing as jobs are not color dependent.
The set is intended for adults and teenagers.

A very scary quest for adults and teenagers

If we add to the potion

A great way to awaken children's imagination and teach them rhymes. The presenter prepares questions in advance that the children will answer in rhyme. One hint for everyone: after the potion you can turn into animals (birds or insects). To make it cool, the presenter can dress up as an old witch (hat and broom, torn clothes and a large wart on the nose). The witch asks the children what will happen if we add some ingredient to the potion. Example: If we add soap to the potion, we will turn into ... (crocodile); If we add sausage to the potion, we will turn into ... (wasp); If we add grains to the potion, we will turn into ... (elephant); If we add weeds to the potion, we will turn into ... (monkey); If we add half a bucket to the potion, we will turn into... (an eagle or a mosquito); If we add an ear to the potion, we will turn into an evil... (fly); If we add paint to the potion, we will turn into a cute... (weasel); If we add a chocolate bar to a potion, we will turn into... (snail); If we add paper to the potion, we will turn into... (turtle); If we add compote to the potion, we will turn into... (raccoon or hippopotamus); If we add weed to the potion, we will turn into ... (turkey); If we add a mug to the potion, we will turn into ... (frog); If we add a chair to the potion, we will turn into ... (shark); If we add a firecracker to the potion, we will turn into ... (cheetah) and so on. The participants who turn out to be the most savvy and who give the most answers to the witch's questions will receive prizes.

Disney World: Backstage

The post about preparing the site for Halloween received a better response than all the brand's publications for the year.

Disney posted a short video about the park's preparations for the holiday. And although the main purpose of the park is to create a magical atmosphere, the video about the decorators’ work has won the trust and interest of the audience, who always want to look “behind the scenes.”

Raffle "Room of Horror"

The owner of the house (apartment) where Halloween is celebrated tells guests that there is something very creepy in his bathroom. So scary that when you see it you start screaming in horror. After this, the owner asks if there is a daredevil willing to take a look.

The owner goes to the bathroom with the volunteer. There is a candle burning there. The organizer of the prank gives the brave man a task - to blow out a candle with a shout. When he manages to put out the flames, the owner of the house asks not to tell the others what happened in the bathroom. And if you are not sure that the guest will not spill the beans, then he invites him to sit in another room until he calls.

Those remaining in the room do not know what happened in the bathroom, but they heard a friend scream. Returning to everyone, the presenter asks: “Are there any more brave souls?” And go back to the bathroom with a new “victim”, where everything is repeated. After this, those who want to tickle their nerves are invited again.

As a result, the guests in the room are perplexed - everyone who goes to the bathroom starts screaming there. Tension and fear increase with each person leaving.

Blood worms

Participants are blindfolded and warned that for the prize they will have to fight their fear, namely, eat bloody worms. So, the eyes are blindfolded. A plate of spaghetti and ketchup is placed in front of each participant (the participants should not know what is in front of them). The contents in all plates are the same. Each participant is also given Chinese chopsticks. At the command “start”, participants pick up chopsticks and begin to eat “bloody worms” - spaghetti with ketchup. Who will decide faster and understand that this is just spaghetti, although... The presenter can add fear by saying that there are still a couple of worms hidden in the dish. In general, whoever empties his plate first wins.
