Halloween Treasure Hunt - Plan Ahead for Fun

Have kids that like challenges well, consider creating a Halloween Treasure Hunt this year.

Half the fun of a Halloween Treasure Hunt is coming up with great clues and the other half is watching the kids or teams of adults try and solve the clues and find the Treasure.

We have a few Halloween Treasure Hunt Tips
1. Create a background story - The treasure was lost by a Witch, Pirates, Zombies, Ghosts or someone else and create a story of how it was lost and what it contains.

2. Make sure you Halloween props that match the story - Think of things that Witches, Pirates or Skeletons more have or loose and place those items on the path and around your house.

3. Make the clues match the age group and for young kids have an adult to help with additional ideas if the clues are to tough. This way the kids won't get bored and everyone will have fun.

To help you get started we have a sample Halloween Treasure Hunt and helpful ideas.

How can I Play Measure Mommy at a Baby Shower / Party after the Baby is Born?

Saw this baby shower question today and thought it was interesting, the new Mom like the game Measure Mommy's Belly but wasn't going to have her Baby Shower / Meet the Baby Party until after the baby was born, so how could she still play the game. While we feature over 60 Baby Shower games we have never dealt with this issue.

Well I thought about it and came up with a few variations of Measure Mommy.
1. How Big was Mommy's Belly?
Measure your belly at 36 or 38 weeks and save the info then have guests guess a number or a string length.
2. Before and After Mommy's Belly
Measure before (like above) and then measure a week or two after the baby then have guests guess on the change in belly size.
3. Guess the Chest
Ok sounds odd but if you are breast feeding the size increases and it could be a fun twist to Guess Mommy's Chest (rename as needed) Play same as Measure Mommy but you measure higher.

Hopefully this will be a fun way to play the Measure Mommy Baby Shower game even if the baby has been born.

Unique Halloween Party Games Can Be Easy With Simple Planning

Halloween Parties can be great fun, but can also create a lot of stress as you plan the menu, think up party games and try to find the perfect Halloween decorations. 

At Party Game Ideas, we have come up with a few tips for helping you plan successful Halloween party games for all ages.

Top Halloween Party Game Tips
1. Combine 2 or 3 games into One Party Game
- In Halloween Survivor - Each round of the game is a different challenge. Solve a puzzle, shoot at a basket, hit a target, answer trivia questions, etc...
- Ghost Hunter - First you find the Ghosts and then solve the riddle

By combining different game elements in one Halloween game, you create a unique game that stands out even if each single game is basic.

2. Scary or Gross Halloween Games are Memorable
For Tweens and Teen Halloween Parties, gross or scary sense related games tend to be a big success. Halloween parties for teenagers are extremely tough since everyone wants to have cool games and they don't want any silly kid games. Our thoughts are consider offer helping create one Halloween game like Eat your Brains, Halloween Fear Factor or The Morgue Assistant and let them choose the other games.

3. For Offices and Adults - Trivia Rules
Often adult of office Halloween parties a simple yet interesting Halloween trivia game can be fun and entertaining. Often the best time is reviewing the questions and providing the answer and any Halloween trivia behind the question. Halloween Movie Trivia and Facts about Halloween Candy would be great places to start. Need more ideas check out these printable Halloween trivia games.

4. Children's Halloween Games work for Adult Halloween Parties
Maybe because they are simple, easy to play or just remind us of good times, but often going retro and playing silly Halloween games can be fun when you are an adult. Halloween Corners, Mummy Wrap, Spooky Sounds Story or even a Halloween Bean Bag Toss game can be fun and silly for adults.

5. A Good Halloween Story - Makes Games More Interesting
Do you want to asked to guess what the five items are in the bowls or do you want to know that our last Morgue Assistant got cold feet and left work last Thursday night and never returned. He had been working on Mr. Winter's body but left everything in the cooler, I am going to new you to help me figure out where Mr. Winter's fingers, eyes and ears are so we can determine his cause of death....
Adding a storyline or plot to a Halloween game or scavenger hunt sets the mood and purpose to the game. Be creative, have fun and put a unique spin on your Halloween activities.

Now that you have these Halloween game tips, you can get creative and start planning a frightfully good Halloween game or check out Party Game Ideas for Halloween games and adapt them as you need.

5. Send out Halloween Party Invitations
We have found some awesome Halloween invitations from a variety of party sites and they range from spooky to oh so cute - so check out and order them today. If mailing we recommend sending them out between after September 20th and by October 5th. This is very important if you are asking for an RSVP and if other parties are being planned.

6. Halloween Decorations
Consider your budget and determine what type of mood and setting you want for your Halloween party. Consider a wall scene setter to add excitement to a boring wall, foggers to give a sense of eeriness, haunting ghouls to creep guests out, a haunting cd to give them chills and animated props like witches, Jason and zombies to scare them to death! 

7. Decide Your Halloween Costume
Whether you make your own Halloween costume or purchase a new costume, it's important that you decide on your Halloween costume and purchase by the 10th or at least the 15th of October. Why do we recommend this? Because your Halloween party is a big event and planning ahead will help it go smoothly.

Add Halloween games and activities can make your party a truly memorable event, so decide which Halloween games match your event.

9. Plan on Haunting Food Menu, Party Supplies  & Food Display
We recommend you plan 1 or 2 featured items of scary foods and surround them with basics, this way the featured items will stand out. Also how you present items can make something ordinary look gross. Consider a ghoul throwing up salsa - yuck! but it's only salsa. So be creative and have fun, we put together some Halloween party supplies to help you get started.

10. Party Prep One Week in Advance
It may sound silly but if you are having a big Halloween party, have everything ready 1 week in advance. Go over your check list of what you have and still need, place all decorations and room items together and start setting up if you haven't already started, put all food together, review guest list and make any last minute changes to menu or props. Remember if you have a lot to do invite a few friends to help you set up and prepare.

These Top 10 Halloween Party Planning Tips should help you plan for a successful Halloween Party this year and help you enjoy planning for the big event with less stress!
