Three Halloween games in one app
Pick the mode that fits the room. Every one uses the same free Halloween deck.
Spooky Taboo
Describe Werewolf without saying Full moon, Howl, Fur or Transform. Teams race the timer and harder words score more.
Best for 4+ players in two teams
Halloween Heads Up
Hold the phone on your forehead while friends act out Vampire or Mummy. Tilt down when you get it, up to skip.
Best for costume parties and photos
Imposter at the Haunted House
Everyone sees the same Halloween word except the imposter, whose card is blank. Say one clue word each, then vote. A caught imposter can still win by guessing the word.
Best for 3 to 12 players who love bluffing

Halloween party game ideas that always work
Costume Heads Up
Whoever holds the phone acts in costume. Film it in slow motion for the group chat.
Monster Taboo tournament
Two teams, three rounds, losers hand out the candy.
Lights-off Imposter
Play Imposter by candlelight. Bluffing gets a lot harder in the dark.
