Happy Halloween, fellow ghosts and ghouls! Looking for a fun Halloween twist to one of your favorite party games? Grab a deck of cards, a bowl of “poisonous” punch and a group of friends because things are about to get weird, or should I say, paranormal.
Simply spread out the cards face down in a circle and take turns drawing a card, if you dare. Follow the corresponding key to discover your fate:
2 is YOU ¬– Dish out a spook-tacular dare to one of your friends.
3 is ME ¬– Truthfully share to the room the creepiest or most disgusting thing you’ve ever done.
4 is GORE – Turn off the lights and get a flashlight because it’s time to tell your greatest horror story.
5 is SURVIVE or DIVE – Play a round of zombies on “Call of Duty” and the loser drinks. No Xbox in sight? DIVE or bob for apples and the person with the longest time drinks.
6 is STICKS or TRICKS – Go through your bag of Halloween candy and pull out those Pixy Stixs, because you are required to eat 20 in a row. Afraid you’ll go into a diabetic coma? Choose the TRICKS route and play “two truths and a lie.”
7 is HEAVEN – In typical gameplay, you point to the sky and the last person to catch on needs to drink. However, considering it’s the Day of the Dead, point to the ground instead.
8 is DATE – Choose someone to accompany you in a freestyle to one of these four Halloween songs: “The Monster Mash,” “Thriller,” “Purple People Eater” and “Witch Doctor.” No repeats after one of the songs has already been chosen!
9 is RHYME – Pick a word with some Halloween connotations and go around in a circle making rhymes until someone can’t think of one or repeats an answer. That person drinks.
10 is AMEN – Take a sigh of relief because you get a free pass.
Jack is CATEGORIES – Pick a category like Halloween flicks, children’s costumes, brands of candy, superstitious items, etc. and go around saying your answers until someone messes up or repeats. Guess what? That person drinks.
Queen is QUESTION MASTER – Until someone else pulls a Queen, you are the question master and if you ask a question and someone answers, they have to drink. If you ask a question and they respond with “boo you” then you have to drink.
King is BLOODY MARY – I think everyone remembers this folklore legend. Stand in front of the bathroom mirror alone and repeat Bloody Mary three times with the hope that she doesn’t appear full of vengeance.
Ace is OUIJA BOARD – It’s time to call upon the spirits and have a séance.
