Wholoween: Games

It's nearly Halloween, or as we are calling it this year, Wholoween. This week, Planet Gallifrey will be giving you all sorts of terrifying tips and spooky site content to mark the occasion. Check out some of our favourite games below, which you can play with your friends or family!

Who Taboo
Before the party, grab some paper and cut it up into 8 rectangles. On each piece, write the name of a Doctor Who alien or character at the top and then four words associated with the alien. Fold all the pieces of paper in half and put them in a box or a hat. Get your friends to pick one and then stand up in front of everyone. The aim of the game is to describe the alien or character without using the words below! To make it even more competitive, split your friends into teams and award sweets as prizes.


Cyber-Pinata
To play this, make a pinata and design it to look like a Cyberman's head (grey paint galore!) Make sure you play this in a large space, like a garden. Take it in turns to smash the cyber-pinata, and the winner gets all the sweets!

Monster Mash
To make your friends scream and squirm, fill up some shoeboxes with items of different textures, like mashed up bananas or muesli. Cut a hole at the side of the box, big enough to put your hand in, but not so big that they can see everything inside it! Get your friends to guess what's in the boxes. To spice things up a bit, hide plastic spiders racnoss to creep out your friends!





Treasure Hunt
If you have lots of friends, you might want to think about making a treasure hunt for them. Cut out about 8 pieces of card and write a clue on each one, leading to where the next one is hidden. Try to make your clues as cryptic as possible to keep your friends guessing! The treasure could be anything of your choice, but we recommend a lovely box of jelly worms (we like jelly worms.)
