Here are some fun and spooky Halloween party games for couples that can add excitement and a little competition to your event:

Twist: Blindfold one partner and have the other give instructions on carving.
2. Couples Costume Contest
How to Play: Each couple dresses in themed costumes. Have a runway-style show where they strut their stuff, and guests vote for categories like funniest, most creative, or best overall couple.
Twist: Set a time limit and require couples to make their costumes out of provided materials on the spot!
3. Mummy Wrap
How to Play: One partner wraps the other in toilet paper to turn them into a mummy. The fastest or neatest mummy wins.
Twist: Add challenges like hopping on one foot or wrapping with only one hand.
4. Spooky Scavenger Hunt
How to Play: Hide Halloween-themed items (like mini skeletons, fake spiders, or candy) around the party area. Couples team up to find them using clues.
Twist: Make the hunt spooky by turning off the lights and providing only flashlights.
5. Witch’s Hat Ring Toss

Twist: If they guess wrong, they must perform a funny Halloween-themed dare (like dancing like a zombie).
7. Monster Dance Off
How to Play: Play some spooky music, and have couples perform their best “monster” dance moves. Guests or a judge can vote for the best monster dance.

Twist: Wrong answers require the couple to complete a spooky dare or a fun task.
9. Bobbing for Apples with a Twist
How to Play: Traditional bobbing for apples, but make it more challenging by having couples bob together in teams of two, using only their teeth to grab the apples.
Twist: Add floating glow-in-the-dark spiders or small items to the water for added difficulty.
10. Couples’ Horror Charades
How to Play: One partner acts out a scary movie or Halloween-themed word while the other guesses. Have a time limit to add to the challenge.
