Photo Scavenger Hunt

The object of a photo scavenger hunt is to get pictures of all the items using a digital camera or a Polaroid camera so the pictures can be judged right away.

Break your guests up into some small groups and give each of them a list of items they have to find. They can all get the same items or you can make each one different if you don't want them tripping over one someone else in their search.

They head out on foot or by car to find the items and take pictures of themselves with each one. I like to make them find someone to take their picture if potential - if the whole group isn't in each one, they get penalized.

You can select the winner by the first team to finish, the team with the most creative pictures or anything criteria you want.

Make the scavenger hunt items fit the theme of your party. You could use a tombstone, a hockey mask, red paint or a horror movie poster for example.

Pumpkin Bowling

This one is fun for any age, really, but adults can have a lot of fun with it.

Partially fill ten 2 liter pop bottles with water to weight them down, then decorate them to fit the theme of your party.

Set them up in the acceptable 10 pin layout.

Have your guests "bowl" with pumpkins. The smaller gourds regularly work best, or at least smaller pumpkins. Round ones tend to roll better but the ones that aren't as perfect make the game a lot more challenging.

Pumpkin Carving

A lot of population have switched to painting pumpkins rather than carving, both for security and for longer chronic jack-o-lanterns. But carving is still the best in my opinion. There's nothing that says Halloween like the light of a candle flickering straight through the face of a pumpkin.

You can buy carving kits at most craft and hobby market colse to Halloween, with small tools for more detailed carving.

They regularly come with stencils as well but for this game you'll probably want to leave it up to your guests to do freestyle.

You can judge the game in some ways - the first to discontinue their pumpkin, the most creative (in your judgement or the entire group's), the scariest, etc.

And there are Plenty of children's games that are just as much fun for adults - bobbing for apples, Twister, musical chairs, etc. Don't worry about either it's a "mature" thing to do - just worry about either your guests enjoy themselves!
