Costume Scavenger Hunt
-
Have a Halloween costume scavenger hunt. This game is best played with a gathering of friends in a large city or nightlife district with multiple Halloween events taking place. Start by creating a list of approximately 20 Halloween costumes. Include some that will be easy to spot such as a witch or pirate and some that are harder like George Washington or a fire engine. Type up the list and print enough for each person who will be in attendance. Decide on a game ending time and meeting place beforehand. Divide the group of your friends into teams and head out to various bars and clubs in the area with your camera. The objective is to find as many costumes on the list and photograph them. Offer bonus points for team members who appear in the picture wearing a piece of the person's costume.
Dress-Up Drinking Game
-
Play a dress-up drinking game at your adult Halloween party. As each member arrives, give them a shot glass attached to a string to wear around their neck. Have a pile of costume items like hats, masks and wigs in the center of the main party area. Decide upon several words related to Halloween such as "costume," "candy," and "witch." Upon everyone's arrival explain the rules of the game. Whenever someone says one of the chosen words in conversation, they have to take a shot and put on an item from the costume pile. Be sure to have beverage options for non-drinkers on hand. Whoever has the least costume items on from the pile at the end of the night wins the game.

Toilet Paper Mummy
-
For a low-key adult Halloween party with guests who prefer not to drink and get too crazy, play a dress-up game of "Toilet Paper Mummy." Divide the groups into teams of two to three people. Pass out several rolls of toilet paper to each team and give the command to begin. Teams must turn one member into a mummy using the toilet paper. Whoever completes the task the fastest wins the game.
Costume Relay Race
-
Hold a dress-up Halloween relay race if you have a large space. On one end of the room place two piles of clothing with an equal number of items. One pile will have men's clothing and the other will have women's. Give the game an adult twist by including lingerie items and underwear. Divide the players into two teams. Have the men line up on the opposite end of the room to the women's clothing pile and the women do the same by the men's pile. Each team chooses one member to be the clothing wearer. Once the start signal is given, one person runs across the room to grab a piece of clothing and bring it to the designated wearer. He then dresses in the item and tags the next person to grab an item. The race goes on until all items are on.
