If you are pressed for an idea with the big day closing in, consider something unusual and easily recognizable. Game Halloween costumes are an excellent option and can be easy to assemble. It is all in your approach. While these have been done before, there are many games, both classic and new, that people will easily recognize. This allows for a number of options for Game Halloween costumes. Make it a tradition by doing a new game each year!

How do you turn a game into a costume? You wear it! Choose a favorite game and use the parts, pieces and accessories of that game as your costume. It can be a game from childhood adapted quickly or a more complex design of an internet game character you play. There is no limit to the number of games that can be interpreted for Halloween.

Small parts and pieces from board games such as Monopoly can be attached directly to your clothing. Punch holes on the top corners of two of the game boards and tie them together as a placard to hang from your shoulders. Add Monopoly money to a hat or carry it in a gaudy money clip to spread around to your friends.

Twister dresses are another option. This nostalgic classic is one of the easier costumes to create. The board for Twister starts out big and flexible. Cut a hole in the middle and wear it, or become a “Twister Ghost” by adding eye holes. If you want to get really fancy, actually sew the mat into a dress or smock.

Constructing your game Halloween costumes requires destruction of the games. You won’t want to use your personal game supply for this but can find many copies available at thrift shops and yard sales. These are often priced cheaply due to a missing piece – but you don’t care if there is one less red checker or one chess piece lost. You won’t miss it. Ebay is another source for games but local sales may be the most inexpensive option.

Another popular Halloween game costume is the video game outfit. With gaming popularity increasing you can create a costume for your favorite game character. You might be the Monkey from Money Ball, or a popular video game warrior or the Master Chief of Halo. Add a head piece with talking bubbles or icons from the game and see how many people can guess who you are. When you choose the video game route the options to use are endless and can be as obvious or as obfuscated as you choose.

Those of the older generation may not recognize any of your video game characters but a young crowd will know what you are doing. Thus, your choice of using a traditional action or board game or an internet wonder series may depend on who will be at the party you attend.

If party goers are older you might want to stick to board games to avoid explanations of your character to everyone you meet. Edited by Hetsil Protage
