The Halloween Name Game is wildly popular for partygoers of all ages. Here’s a party game that is fun for any party. Use it at the start of a party to “warm up” the guests as soon as they begin to arrive. It allows them to mingle and get to know one another.
Age Group: Kids, teens, and adults enjoy playing.
Game Objective: To guess who “you” are, the name on your back.
All you need is:
3x 5 cards
Marking Pen (medium or wide point)
Safety Pins
Before the party, print neatly the name of a person or character associated with Halloween onto a 3×5 card.
You can use any names associated with Halloween. Try Freddie Kruger, Buffy the Vampires Slayer, Frankenstein, and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
Use a different name on each card.
Make up enough cards for more than each person invited to the party, especially for kids. This can be such a fun game, that party participants often want to play it more than once.
Upon arriving, use a safety pin to put one card on each guest’s back. Do not tell them who is on the card.
How to Play the Halloween Name Game
You can ask only one question of a guest, before moving to another guest to ask a question.
Only “Yes” and “No” answers can be given.
Laughing, facial expressions, etc. are certainly allowed.
Look for questions which will quickly narrow the quest such as:
Am I a male(or female)?
Am I a real person(versus fictional character)?
If a guest guesses too quickly, give them another name tag.
