Game Halloween Costumes: Unique And Fun Adult Halloween Costumes

by Susan West

If you need a costume fast consider game Halloween costumes as a solution to your problem. A last minute invitation to a costume party can leave you searching for a costume but not willing to afford a fancy version. The game Halloween costumes are perfect. You can use a new game every year if you want to become a real game player. With easy construction and minimal costs, this may be the answer to your needs.

How does one create a game adult Halloween costumes? One way to do it is to simply wear the game! This is the most simple and accurate way to approach your costume design. Choose a childhood favorite. Everyone remembers twister or Battleship or Ouija.

For board games or games that include small parts or pieces you can attach those pieces to your clothing. Punch holes in the game board, add rope, yarn or twine and let it hang from your shoulders. This works best using two of the game boards - one each for back and front. Decorate your neck or your hat with monopoly money or carry stacks of it in your hand to pass out as you go.

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.

Many of these methods require the destruction of a copy of the game. If you do not have much money to work with, or no desire to ruin your personal copy, consider browsing garage sales and the Pennysaver early in the year for a cheap, used copy. Check on Craig’s List and Ebay as well. These tend to be items people want to get rid of to make space at home, and will probably sell for very cheap. Besides, there is no point in ruining a brand new game when there are plenty of perfectly good used available for much less.

Video game outfits have become a popular Halloween staple as well. With the popularity of video gaming on the rise, many people will recreate their favorite game character. Whether your aiming for Halo’s Master Chief or the Monkeys from Monkey Ball, your costume can be unique. Love playing the Sims? Why not create a real life Sim! It sounds boring, but if you do it right, it can be fun and unique. Find out how many people recognize the origins of your costume. Add a head piece that displays the talky bubbles or other icons from the game.

Older people, who had less video game exposure growing up, may have a harder time recognizing who you are supposed to be when wearing video game Halloween costumes. However, board games and more traditional and timeless games are usually recognizable by people of all ages.

Game Halloween costumes can be fun for all ages. The options are endless, whether you are going for classic games everyone remembers or more modern video game characters. Save money by reusing or buying used games to build your costume, rather than ruining brand new ones.
