Halloween “Would You Rather” Game for Kids, Teens, and Families

Spooky, Silly, and Seriously Fun Questions for Your Next Party or Night In

Let’s be honest Halloween is so much more than just candy and costumes. It’s the one time of year when it’s completely acceptable (and wildly fun) to be a little spooky, a little silly, and maybe even a bit gross. If you’re planning a Halloween party, a family night at home, or just want to keep the kids off their screens for 20 minutes, a “Would You Rather” game is a total lifesaver.

It’s easy. It’s interactive. And best of all? Everyone from preschoolers to grandparents can join in. Trust me, I’ve seen it happen. One year, we played a round of Halloween “Would You Rather” around the dinner table with a bunch of cousins, and next thing you know, Nana’s choosing to eat a spider over a slug.

This post is packed with over loads of Halloween “Would You Rather” questions perfect for kids, teens, and the whole family. Plus, I’ll share tips on how to turn this simple game into a full-blown party hit. Ready? Grab your candy corn and let’s play!

Why Halloween “Would You Rather” Is a Must-Try

Let’s start with why this game works like magic at any Halloween get-together:

  • No prep needed – Just read the questions out loud and let the fun unfold.
  • Zero mess – Unlike crafts or pumpkin carving, there’s nothing to clean up.
  • All ages welcome – You can adjust the questions to suit your crowd.
  • It’s hilarious – You’ll be surprised how passionate someone gets about choosing between dancing with a skeleton or being chased by a werewolf.

Whether you’re hosting a classroom party, entertaining a bunch of teens, or cozying up for a family night in, “Would You Rather” brings everyone together for some lighthearted Halloween fun.

How to Play Halloween “Would You Rather”

There’s no one right way, but here are a few super simple ways to keep it fun and flexible:

  1. Go Around the Circle – Each person takes a turn answering a question. No pressure, just fun!
  2. Split the Room – Ask a question and have people move to one side of the room based on their answer.
  3. Vote with Candy – Give each player two different-colored candies (say orange for option A, purple for option B). They vote by holding up the candy of their choice.
  4. Speed Round – Set a timer for 1 minute and see how many questions one person can answer lightning fast.
  5. Add a Challenge – If someone doesn’t want to answer, they have to do a Halloween-themed dare (like howl like a werewolf or eat a mystery snack).

Alrighty! Now that you know how to play, let’s get to the questions…

Ideas to Keep the Game Going

If everyone’s loving the game (and they probably will), here’s how to stretch it out and make it even more fun:

  • Let the kids write their own questions – They’ll come up with the silliest stuff, and it gives them a chance to be creative.
  • Use it as a party icebreaker – Great for getting guests talking when they don’t know each other well.
  • Incorporate it into a Halloween scavenger hunt – Place a question at each clue location for players to answer before moving on.
  • Print the questions – Create little question cards and let everyone draw from a pumpkin bucket!

I’ve seen this game work its magic time and time again. It’s simple, it’s flexible, and it sparks the kind of silly, genuine connection that makes holidays like Halloween feel extra special. Whether you’re laughing over who would rather hug a zombie or who actually wants to live in a haunted house, it’s these little moments that stick with us.

So go ahead light the candles, grab the treats, and get ready for some good old-fashioned Halloween giggles. Your kids (and your inner child) will thank you.

Happy Haunting and Would-You-Rather-ing!
