Most people have heard or played Mummy Wrap at some point in your life, the game where you take toilet paper and wrap it around another person until they look like a Mummy.
While we offer over 60 Halloween games at Party Game Ideas, sometimes the best party games are the classics games we all know played with small modifications.
Plus Mummy Wrap is so simple that almost any age can play. For kids it is a fun and fast game and for adults it is silly, embarrassing and a gret photo opportunity!
How to play Mummy Wrap:
1. The basic concept for Mummy Wrap is simple get cheap toilet paper, have the kids divide up into teams of 2, 3 or 4, have one person be the mummy and the others must wrap the mummy with the toilet paper.
First team to use all their toilet paper to wrap the Mummy from head to toe wins.
2. Keep the same concept and increase difficulty
Blindfolded Mummy Wrap
- For teams of two, the person wrapping the Mummy is blindfolded and the first team to wrap the Mummy from head to toe wins.
- For teams of 3 and up, where there are several wrappers. Each person is given 30 blindfolded and given 30, 45 or 60 seconds to wrap as much as the mummy as possible. When the timer goes off they must put done the toilet paper, remove their blindfold, pass it to the next child and then that person has “x” seconds to wrap as much as possible. This continues until the toilet paper is gone and the Mummy is wrapped from head to toe.
3. Now Teams, A Relay and Tasks
Mummy Wrap Relay
This Mummy Wrap game involves teams of 3 or more.
The first Mummy is wrap by the other team members and once the Mummy is wrapped must walk from where they were wrapped to a stool or table 15 – 20 feet away and then pick up another roll of toilet paper and return to the wrap area.
Once they return, their team members must unwrap (not rip off!) the toilet paper without ripping it. (If they rip it add a large penalty to their time. Like 5 minutes)
Depending on how many team members there are, while the first Mummy is being unwrapped, other team member can begin on wrapping the next mummy.
If there are only three players, you must unwrap the first mummy and then start wrapping the second mummy with the new roll of toilet paper.
Once the second Mummy is wrapped they must walk to chair or table (go around it) and return where they will be unwrapped and another team member wrapped.
However this time the toilet paper used is from the first wrapping so depending on how well they re-wrapped the toilet paper this could be a difficult task.
Continue until each member of the team has gone.
To end the game the last Mummy from the team needs to get wrap, walk to the chair and return to the wrap area to complete the game. First team to do this wins.
What is best about Mummy Wrap is that it is an easy game to play and prep time is just a few minutes so you can plan ahead a few days or minutes before the party.
One Important Mummy Wrap Rule
Make sure you don't use all the tiolet paper! Else your guests will be very, very upset with you.

Where to Find Top Halloween Decorations now that many Retailers are Sold Out!
The recession caused many retailers to pull back Halloween inventories for higher priced Halloween decorations.
Many retailers thought that $150 and up animated Halloween characters would be slow sellers. Surprise! Many retailers have been caught off guard by consumers want to slurge for October's favorite holiday, Halloween.
I overheard a local Halloween retailer say this, "We couldn't afford to bring in more inventory this year, with the risk of sales not being there."
While this was a local store, it appears that it is true across the retail landscape and is forshadowing what we might see this Christmas.
We have search and found where you can still find the top selling Halloween decorations, but each day that goes by they are getting more and more scare.
Life Size Animated Jason Voorhees - We are finding that this animated slasher is Sold Out at many top online retailers. We found the largest selection at ebay.
Life Size Witch w/ Fogging Cauldron - This witch runs around $250 - $280 and has Sold Out. We found the best selection of animated witches here.
Eco-friendly Corpse Solar Light - When I first saw this I said, cool but will it sell? The answer yes and in a big way. We still found the Corpse Solar Light here.
Deluxe Animated Chainsaw - Again I was surprised that this is sold out by October 15th, but we did find a few more chainsaws at Amazon. This chainsaw is animated and also comes with sounds so it would have a startling effect on unsuspecting guests.
Giant Airblown Black Cat - We love airblown yard decorations and so do you, they have been selling out in stores and online. We found more animated Black Cats at Amazon. It turns out that many airblown Halloween inflatables have sold out this season here is a link to more Halloween inflatable decorations.
It appears that most retailers cut back inventories a lot this year and if you want that over the top Halloween decoration, shop now and get it because it could be sold out tomorrow.

Most Expensive Men's Halloween Costumes
Earlier today I commented on Halloween contest winners and what does it take to win a Halloween costume contest and that got me to thinking what are the most expensive costumes you can buy. It seems that men's costumes tend to be the most expensive and centered around Sci-Fi themes and Super Heroes.
Here are most expensive men's Halloween costumes.
1. Gene Simmons Kiss Armour Costume
for a bid of $2,459 it could be yours. The auction ends Thursday. I will say this is a cool costume for the ultimate KISS fan, but to rich more my taste.
2. Dynamic Elvis Costume comes in at $999.99!
3. Batman - Collector's Edition only $799.99
Superman - Collector's Edition comes in a little less at $749.99
4. Darth Vader Collector's Edition comes in at $699.99
Star Wars Stormtrooper and Boba Fett Supreme Editions are also $699.99
5. Pumpkin King Costume
found at auction for $575. This one is pretty cool and is 9 feet tall. The auction closes on Thursday the 15th.
All I can say is that these are pretty cool costumes and if you love Star Wars, Supper Heroes, Kiss and scary Halloween costumes these might be for you. The best news is that with high priced costumes like these they do tend to retain their value.
And if you are throwing a Halloween party check out our Halloween Games. We offer over 50 ideas for Halloween games most are do it yourself. So if you spend all your money on a Halloween costume, you'll be able to still have fun at your Halloween party.
