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!
You simply wear the game. How easy is that? Choose a favorite game from childhood such as Candyland or Monopoly, a thinking game such as Ouija or an action game like Twister. No matter what type you choose, you will be easy to recognize.
For games that include smaller pieces and game boards, you could attach these to clothing. Add holes to the top of the game board and loop it around your neck so it dangles in front of you. Sew the smaller game pieces into the sleeves of a sweat shirt. Monopoly might be a good one for this. Sew or glue the monopoly money along each arm so that it rests along the appropriate sides of the board when you hold your arms down at your sides, just like in actual game play!
The board for Twister is pliable and easy to use. Cut a hole in the center and pull it over your head and belt it as a tunic over brightly colored tights or cut small holes and drape it over your head to become the ghost of Twisters past. Sewing it into a shirt or dress is possible but might be more trouble than it's worth as the vinyl is easily torn.
All of the game Halloween costumes require destruction of the game itself so you might want to browse yard sales and thrift shops for cheap used games. After all, you don't care if there is a piece or two missing - you aren't going to play the game, you're going to wear it! Ebay and Craig's List are other good sources for cheap used games but remember to check shipping charges to make sure the total cost is low.
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.
Your parents and their friends may not recognize your character if your choice is a game Halloween costume based on video games. If you will be wearing your costume at a party with a young crowd you'll easily be identified.
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
