Who Am I? A Spooktacular Halloween Guess Who Game
Get ready for a spooky game of clues, questions, and Halloween fun!
In this Halloween-themed version of Guess Who, each player tries to discover the mystery character or Halloween object by asking yes-or-no questions. Use your detective skills to eliminate the possibilities until only one remains.
Will you uncover a sneaky vampire, a friendly ghost, or a glowing jack-o’-lantern before your opponent does? There’s only one way to find out!
Since this game works well with kids, teens, and adults alike, it’s also a fun family game you can do together. Try it at small family gatherings or a Halloween party. Play your way!

Halloween Guess Who Game Supplies Needed
- Guess Who Halloween Printable Cards – grab them below. Print them on cardstock (this will make the cards much sturdier). Then cut them out.
Now, you can play two ways:
1. Find elastic or string and tie the cards to the players’ foreheads. (This is a little more work, but often cheaper)
OR
2. Use hats or headbands and tape. For this Halloween version, it’s fun to use whatever costume items you have – superhero masks, firefighter hats, etc. Then tape the cards to them. I used double-sided tape to make it even quicker.
How to Play Guess Who Halloween Party Edition
1. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a stack at the center of the table.
2. Each player draws a card and slides it into their elastic headband (or tapes it to the headband/hat), facing outward. (That way, everyone sees your card except you.)
3. Starting with the youngest player and moving clockwise, take turns asking yes-or-no questions about the card on your head to figure out who or what it is. (See a list of helpful questions below)
*If you are not playing in teams, players can ask anyone else who is playing to answer their question.
4. When you think you know your card, guess when it’s your turn. Other players continue asking questions until everyone identifies their card.
5. After you guess your card, draw a new card and start again.
6. The first player to correctly guess five characters wins the game. (If you have a big group playing, you can change this to three).
