Scavenger Hunt House
Find inspiration in Halloween movies, music and more! Create different theme rooms throughout the house and send the kids on a scavenger hunt for fun swag.

Halloween Piñata
Here’s a fun way for the kids to get candy safely! Add some Halloween tunes and turn your evening into a family game night with the piñata as the grand finale!

Fully embrace your inner character and dress up to show your Halloween spirit throughout the entire week leading up to the BIG night! Friends and family will have a blast running errands, walking the dog or joining a Zoom meeting … in costume!
Neighborhood Pub Crawl
For all the late-night shenanigan seekers who are over the moon excited about some much deserved socialization! Set up driveway stations with Halloween libations and reconnect with your neighborhood pals!
Candy Chute
Better than a game of Chutes and Ladders, the ultra creative Candy Chute was a media favorite last year and for good reason! Play it safe and have some fun with your very own candy delivery system. Let your creativity run wild this Halloweekend and theme it out!
Yeet the Treats
What’s a YEET? This trendy new term means to throw (something) forcefully in a specified direction. So get the neighborhood on board to Yeet the Treats! Relive the good old days of parade floats throwing candy to kids … only this time, homeowners can yeet candy from 6 feet away as costumed kids safely traverse the sidewalks.

Organize a neighborhood costume parade where the route is predetermined and marked to maintain safe distances between participants. Extra safety precautions can include sanitize stations, yellow caution tape, 6ft sidewalk stickers/tape, age group signs and more!
Family pet parade
Talk about a new tradition – take to the streets with your furry friends and take part in a social distancing pet parade! Dog treats go to the best costume!
Face Mask Party
Order up a bunch of plain face masks and have yourself a paint party! Decorate, doodle and bedazzle your way to some snazzy new face masks to wear this fall.
