Tips for a Spooktacular Adult Game Night
- Mix active and sit-down games. Alternate a rowdy game (ring toss, scavenger hunt) with a seated one (trivia, bingo) to keep energy balanced.
- Prize every game. Small prizes — a candle, fancy candy, a silly trophy — make adults play surprisingly hard.
- Appoint a host. One person runs the rules, keeps score, and holds the answer keys while everyone else relaxes.
