Tips & Warnings
Make some of the ghosts easy to find and others more difficult to accommodate various age and skill ranges among your guests.
Randomly choose the teams. This prevents any child from feeling left out of a group.
Adults should assist very small children during this Halloween party game especially if the ghost hunt occurs in the dark.
