Halloween game night

Spooky-season games for a crowd on the couch.

You've carved the pumpkins and the trick-or-treaters have gone quiet. Keep the party going with games everyone can pick up in seconds — no rules lecture, no setup.

If the group's spread across a couple of couches, put the game up on the TV and let everyone else play from their phone — nobody has to huddle around one screen in the dark.

Good picks for this

Hosting this one

  1. 1Dim the lights and let the phone screens do the work — nobody needs to see a board to play these.
  2. 2Bomb Pass suits the mood — someone's always about to be caught holding it.
  3. 3In costume with gloves on? Word Scramble and Hangman only need a few taps to guess, not fast typing.

Questions people ask

Do we all need to be in the same room?
No — everyone joins from their own phone with the room code or a scanned QR, so it works split across couches, across a porch and a living room, or with someone joining from another party entirely.
What if people can't type well in costume gloves or face paint?
Every game runs on taps, not typing — pick a tile, tap a card, hit a button. Nothing needs fine motor control or a keyboard.
Is anything actually scary?
No jump scares. Bomb Pass is the closest thing to spooky — a countdown you don't want to be holding when it hits zero — but it's tension, not gore.
How many people can play at once?
From two up to twenty depending on the game — Bomb Pass and Imposter are built for a full room, while Connect 4 is a head-to-head with spectators watching on the same screen.
