What is Summerween Party?

The term Summerween grew in popularity thanks to shows like Gravity Falls, where characters love Halloween so much that they celebrate it in summer, as October is too far.

Interestingly, the concept took off in real life too. Halloween lovers have started celebrating Summerween by blending the spooky Halloween and vibrant summer vibes.

Summerween Party Games

Pumpkin Pool Toss

This is a fun and easy game, especially for kids. All you need is some plastic pumpkins or small buckets, and ping pong balls.

How to play:

• Place the plastic pumpkins or orange buckets in the ground. Mark a line with chalk tapes or cones for players to stand.

• Give each player a bag of ping pong balls, to be tossed at the buckets from the marked line. The player who tosses most balls in the bucket wins the game.  

DIY Craft Challenge

Set up a craft station where all participants get the same basic materials (like paper, markers, pipe cleaners, or mini pumpkins).

Challenge them to make something scary or funny, it could be a scary Halloween wreath, a creative no carve pumpkin décor and so on.

Weird Food Challenge

With the weird food challenge, the players can make any party snack or appetizer of their choice, provided that their food looks super weird but actually tastes great!

Players with best presentation skills and best tasty snacks can be winners of this contest. Here are some spooky Halloween finger food recipes to inspire you.
