Memory games are a brilliant Halloween activity — five-minute rounds fit perfectly between trick-or-treat dashes and costume swaps. We have four decks with serious spooky credentials, from the little-kid-safe to the full-gothic.
Ranked by spookiness
- Halloween Memory Game — pumpkins, friendly ghosts, sweets, bats. Fine for ages 3+.
- Cats Memory Game — include the black cats; instant Halloween.
- Classic Horror Memory Game — vampires, werewolves, zombies, haunted houses. Tween and up.
- Dracula Memory Game — Stoker’s 1897 original, fully public domain. Properly gothic.
- Frankenstein Memory Game — Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic. Dark labs and stormy skies.
For party hosts
Project a hard board on a TV and run a fewest-moves tournament during a Halloween gathering. Add a rule that the loser does the next dare or downs their drink. You’re welcome.
