Trick or Treat Game Ideas are perfect for adding a playful, Halloween-themed twist to any event, especially at trade shows, parties, or fall festivals. One classic idea is a “Mystery Treat Bag” station where guests pick a bag without knowing if it holds a prize (treat) or a silly challenge (trick) like doing a funny dance or answering a riddle. Another fun option is the “Spin the Trick-or-Treat Wheel,” where each spin lands on either a prize, a trick, or a challenge.
You can also set up a “Trick or Treat Punch Wall,” where participants punch through a tissue-covered hole to grab a hidden surprise—some holes hide candy, others hold tiny toys, and a few have funny dares. “Costume Contest Voting” can serve as a trick-or-treat game too, with voters receiving a small treat for participating. For a more interactive twist, you could organize a “Haunted Trivia” game: answer right for a treat, wrong for a trick! These ideas mix excitement, suspense, and laughter, making them perfect for engaging visitors and creating memorable moments.

How to Play
🎁 1. Mystery Treat Bag Pull
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Fill several small bags with different treats — some with candy, some with small toys, and some with tricks (like fake spiders).
-
Place all the bags on a decorated table or in a large bin.
-
Allow each participant to choose one mystery bag without peeking inside.
-
Whatever they pull is their prize — sweet, spooky, or silly!
✅ Tip: Make sure the bags are all the same color or design so no one can guess what’s inside.
🎃 2. Trick or Treat Prize Wall
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Create a large wall or board with holes cut into it (cover each hole with tissue paper or fabric).
-
Behind each hole, place a hidden prize — either a treat, small toy, or a funny trick!
-
Invite players to punch through one hole to reveal their prize.
-
They keep whatever they pull from inside!
✅ Tip: Decorate the wall with Halloween themes — spiders, pumpkins, ghosts!
🎯 3. Punch Box Trick or Treat
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Build a punch box using a large cardboard box and disposable plastic cups attached inside.
-
Cover the cups with tissue paper and secure them with a rubber band.
-
Fill each cup with either a treat or a trick item.
-
Players get to punch through one tissue-covered cup to grab the prize hidden inside.
✅ Tip: Label the outside spooky words like “Boo!”, “Eek!”, or “Trick?” to add mystery!
🎃 4. Hidden Pumpkin Prizes
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Gather small plastic pumpkins or decorate small containers to look like pumpkins.
-
Hide prizes inside the pumpkins — mix treats, toys, and trick items.
-
Scatter the pumpkins around a designated area (could be a table, field, or haunted house setting).
-
Each participant hunts for a pumpkin and opens it to find their surprise!
✅ Tip: Make some pumpkins “empty” or full of funny surprises for extra suspense.
🕵️ 5. Haunted Treasure Hunt
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Create a list of Halloween-themed items or clues.
-
Hide small prizes around your event area, based on the clues.
-
Hand out the list or first clue to each participant.
-
Players solve riddles or follow spooky hints to find the hidden treasures!
-
First to finish can win an extra grand prize!
✅ Tip: Make clues rhyme or reference Halloween monsters to add to the fun!
🧙♀️ 6. Cauldron Dip (Pull from a Cauldron of Prizes)
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Fill a large cauldron (plastic Halloween ones work great) with prizes.
-
Cover the prizes with shredded paper, spider webs, or fabric to hide them.
-
Blindfold the player or have them close their eyes.
-
They reach into the cauldron and pull out one surprise at random.
-
Whatever they pull, they keep!
✅ Tip: Add spooky slime or fake bugs to make it creepier if you want a “trick” version!
🎃 7. Mystery Box (Feel Inside and Guess for a Prize)
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Prepare a closed box with two hand holes cut into the sides.
-
Inside the box, place different objects — peeled grapes (eyeballs!), cold spaghetti (worms!), cotton balls (ghost puffs!), and some real prizes too.
-
Without looking, players stick their hand inside, guess what’s inside, and pull out an item.
-
If they guess correctly, they win a bonus treat! If not, they still keep what they grabbed.
✅ Tip: Decorate the box to look spooky and label it “Beware!” or “Mystery Touch!”
🕸️ 8. Spider Web Grab (Prizes Stuck in a Fake Web)
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Stretch fake spider webbing across a large frame, wall, or table.
-
Tuck prizes into the webbing — some easy to grab, others harder to reach.
-
Players must pick through the sticky web to pull out one prize without breaking too much of the web!
-
Some prizes could be tricks like plastic spiders or fake worms.
✅ Tip: Add fake spiders and bugs to the web to make it creepier!
🎯 9. Witch Hat Ring Toss for Treats
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Set up witch hats on the ground (use cones or hat props).
-
Give players rings (glow stick rings work great).
-
Players stand behind a line and try to toss a ring onto a witch hat.
-
If they land a ring on a hat, they win a treat!
-
Different colored hats could represent different prize levels.
✅ Tip: Decorate the area with brooms, cauldrons, and spooky sounds for atmosphere!
🎃 10. Pick-a-Pumpkin (Hidden Numbers Inside Pumpkins)
How to Play (Step-by-Step):
-
Set up small pumpkins (real or fake) on a table.
-
Hide a number or symbol inside each pumpkin (can be a slip of paper or a sticker underneath).
-
Each number or symbol matches a prize — create a “prize board” showing what numbers mean.
-
Participants pick one pumpkin and win the prize that corresponds to their number.
✅ Tip: Make it exciting by having some high-value grand prize numbers mixed in!
