Planning a Halloween party? Between costumes and a bowl of candy, a handheld console can become the highlight of the night. Here are 6 game and challenge ideas to enjoy with friends.
1. Co-op ghost hunting
On 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 2 has a local multiplayer mode: team up and catch as many ghosts as you can together. Perfect to kick off the party.
2. The “in the dark” challenge
Turn off the lights, put on headphones, and everyone plays 10 minutes of Corpse Party or Yomawari. The first one to jump loses… and hands out the candy.
3. The Ghost-type Pokémon hunt
On a 3DS Pokémon game, set a challenge: who can catch the most Ghost-type Pokémon in 20 minutes? A simple idea that works for all ages.
4. Halloween in Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing: New Leaf hosts an event on the evening of October 31, with a special character and candy to hand out. Launch the game together to enjoy the event live.
5. Zombies as a team
On PS Vita, Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Dead Nation can be played in co-op: perfect for action fans who want to survive together until midnight.
6. The monster tournament
Monster Hunter on 3DS can be played together locally: pick the scariest monster and hunt it as a team. The fastest group wins.
Our atmosphere tips
- Dim orange or purple lighting and a few pumpkins around you.
- Fully charged consoles before the party: keep the chargers handy.
- A case to protect the consoles as they get passed around.
