How to play Halloween this or that

  1. Pick 15 pairs: 5 candy, 5 costume or monster, and 5 from the movies or adults section.
  2. Tape a pumpkin sign on one wall and a ghost sign on the other. Pumpkin means the first option, ghost means the second.
  3. Read each pair aloud as "Skeleton or Zombie?" and have players walk to the wall for their pick.
  4. Ask one player from each side to give a reason in one sentence.
  5. Finish with the candy round and hand a piece of the winning candy to that side.

Tips for Halloween this or that questions

  • Check for allergies before using real candy as a prize. Stickers or pencils work as a swap.
  • Skip gory pairs with kids under 10. Swap "Psychological horror" for "Friendly ghost" style options.
  • Let players answer in costume voice. A vampire who explains a pick in a Dracula accent gets the whole room laughing.
  • Play it the week before October 31. Kids are already planning costumes and talk more.
  • For an online meeting, post each pair as a poll in Zoom, Teams or Slido and share the results on screen.

Frequently asked questions

What is Halloween this or that?

Halloween this or that is a two-option question game with a spooky theme, such as "Werewolf or Mummy?" or "Twix or Kit Kat?". Each player picks one side and explains. Teachers use it in October morning meetings, and hosts use it at costume parties.

Good Halloween this or that questions pair two spooky options with no wrong answer, such as Skeleton or Zombie, Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown, and Glow sticks or Flashlight. Mix candy, costume and monster pairs so every player finds a topic they care about.

Popular Halloween candy pairs include Twix or Kit Kat, Reese's Cups or Butterfinger, Candy corn or Gummy worms, and Skittles or M&M's. Pairs of the same candy type split the group best. Add "One full-size bar or Five fun-size bars" for a fun argument about value.

Halloween this or that questions for adults cover horror tastes and party habits. Try Classic slasher or Psychological horror, Escape room or Haunted attraction, and Answer the door or Hide with the lights off. They stay clean enough for an office party.

Run them as a walk-to-the-wall game. Post a pumpkin sign on one wall and a ghost sign on the other, read each pair, and have students walk to their pick. Fifteen pairs fill about 10 minutes with 20 students.

Yes, if you pick the pairs. Candy, costume and friendly monster pairs suit kids from age 4. Leave out horror movies, graveyards and anything gory. Kids under 6 answer best when you hold up a picture or toy for each option.

Yes. Pick one pair per post and use the Instagram Stories poll sticker so followers can vote. Candy pairs such as Twix or Kit Kat get the most votes because everyone has a quick opinion. Share the results the next day.
