10 Halloween Games to Play with the Entire Family

Looking for ways to keep kids engaged and adults entertained during your spookiest party of the year? Try this round-up of Halloween games. We left no stone unturned, and you can find surprises waiting for you around every corner. From a pop goes the pumpkin game to a haunted mirror prank, we have it all. Who needs to go to a haunted house when you can make one at home? All it takes is some ingenuity and a few props that you may already have on hand. And when everyone is full of treats and exhausted from playing all of those Halloween games, you can gather 'round the bonfire for a night of frightening tales. Ghost stories told over a crackling fire (with some s'mores that have pretzel spider legs) just might keep you up all night. Don't say we didn't warn you—it is Halloween, after all.
