How to Organize a Halloween Ghost Hunt

Plan a party game to entertain your guests during your Halloween party. A Halloween ghost hunt entertains children of all ages. Haunted mansions can conjure up their own ghosts for this party game but most hostesses may want to simply hide small ghostly figures and award the team that finds the most ghosts. Ghost hunting will keep your guests entertained during your Halloween event.

      Create or purchase small ghost figures. Candles, soaps and toys are available in ghostly shapes during the Halloween season.

    • 2

      Hide the ghosts in your house or back yards before your Halloween Party guest arrive. Use "glow in the dark" ghosts for evening ghost hunts.

    • 3

      Assign arriving guests a number. Remind the kids to remember their number when it is time to hunt ghosts.

    • 4

      Form teams using the assigned numbers. Call all "ones" to form your first team and continue until all guests are on a ghost hunting team.

    • 5

      Show your little ghost hunters the type of ghosts you have hidden. Inform your guests you need some assistance cleaning your house of ghosts.

    • 6

      Set a time limit for the party game and send your teams on a Halloween ghost hunt.

    • 7

      Reward the team that finds the most hidden ghosts.

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.
