2. Halloween Talent Show
Show off your team’s hidden skills! From karaoke and comedy to pumpkin juggling (yes, really), a talent show is a fantastic way to boost energy and morale. Encourage costumes and desk decorations for maximum fun. Low-cost, high-energy, and a perfect icebreaker.
3. Murder Mystery Games
A classic Halloween favorite: the whodunnit! Our virtual murder mysteries bring colleagues together for a fun challenge of wits.
- Manor House Murder – A school reunion gone wrong. Explore rooms, review evidence, and catch the killer before it’s too late.
- Murder On The Train – A time-traveling mystery set between Paris and Constantinople. Can your team identify the culprit before they escape?
Perfect for office fun or fully hosted as part of our Halloween team-building games.
4. Pumpkin Carving
A timeless favorite. Grab some pumpkins, lay down newspaper, and let creativity (or chaos) take over. From scary faces to wild designs, pumpkin carving will get your team laughing - and maybe a little competitive!
5. Spooky Story Time
Dim the lights and let your team’s storytellers shine. Share chilling tales or funny ghost stories, and encourage costumes and acting for extra flair. It’s a creative way to get everyone involved and laughing.
6. Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Bring some energy with a scavenger hunt full of themed trivia, photo challenges, and silly team tasks. Our hosted Halloween Scavenger Hunt makes it easy to run in offices across the US - or DIY it with props and decorations. All treats, no tricks.
7. Halloween Bingo
Quick, simple, and instantly recognizable. Spice it up with Halloween-themed cards, costumes, or small prizes. Bingo works well for mixed groups and takes minimal setup, making it a perfect lunchtime activity.
8. Halloween Happy Hour
Finish the day on a high note! Host a Halloween-themed happy hour with spooky cocktails, mocktails, snacks, and an eerie playlist. Consider adding a “best costume” award to keep the energy lively.
