Halloween is a truly special time of the year. It connects people in a way that no other holiday really can. The challenge is putting this special Halloween feeling into your event and making your guests feel like it is truly special. Planning a Halloween party or event can be very hard, but we can help you turn your event into a Halloween masterpiece.
Keep on theme
When planning your Halloween party or event, the best thing you can do for yourself is to keep things on theme. Luckily for us, Halloween is a very fun theme to stay on. By keeping on theme, you can capture a certain magic that can be lost otherwise. This magic can make your guests feel like they are part of the Halloween spirit, and their spirit can spread to others, like a bad apocalypse movie!
So keep your decorating colors to orange and black. Keep your attractions centered around Halloween. Don’t feel the need to branch to far out of the theme because if you do, you can lose that Halloween magic that makes your event, and the holiday in general, so much fun.
Make Your Halloween Event Spooky, not Scary
When planning and decorating, you may want to lean away from having things be too intense. If things are too frightening or overall just too intimidating, it can alienate a certain percentage of your guests who just can’t deal with horror.
That being said, you still want to keep the Halloween spirit and energy going. Consider leaning towards more fun and cute Halloween themes rather than making things at your event too frightening.
People will be in costume
Make sure you consider that many of your guests at your Halloween party will be in costume. This is, of course, great for your event; it sets the mood and gives your guests something fun to do.
It can also lead to a few problems; some costumes can be restrictive on movement and activities. Still, try to encourage your guests to wear costumes so your Halloween event can really feel like a special occasion.
Have Halloween-themed attractions
When planning your Halloween event, you want to ensure that you have activities to entertain your guests. Like we mentioned earlier, you also want to keep to a Halloween theme. We have many attractions that we can bring to you to enhance your Halloween event. Here are some of our favorites
Zombie Laser Tag
There’s nothing more enjoyable than fighting off a horde of the undead with only a plastic gun! Ok, maybe that’s a lie because Zombie Laser Tag is more entertaining, and safer!
We bring our high-tech laser tag equipment to your event so you can simulate the apocalypse on your own premises! The undead wear sensors that your survivors can tag so that your laser tag rifle is a little more effective than a piece of plastic.
We could bring zombie actors to your event, but what can be even more fun is having up to 8 volunteers become the zombies! We can assure you that whether you are the last uninfected survivor in the apocalypse or if you are part of the new zombie empire, this game of laser tag is frightfully fun.
Portable Escape Rooms
If you are looking for something more engaging and analytical to bring to your event, our Mobile Escape Rooms are an outstanding option.
We bring the room to your event and set it up so your guests can enter and get to puzzle-solving right away. These rooms are an excellent way to boost connectivity and get your guests engaged with your Halloween event and each other, not to mention they can easily accommodate your guests in costumes.
We have several different options to keep everything filled with that Halloween magic. Our Zombie escape room might seem like the obvious choice, but all of our escape rooms can easily stick to the Halloween theme directly or indirectly, making this an excellent choice for an attraction to bring to your event.
Blacklight Events
Beyond the many normal events we offer. We have several blacklight or “glow” events.
These include
These events are perfect for bringing to your Halloween party or event. The rather obvious fact that they glow makes things much more entertaining and thematic for your guests. Not to mention if you are doing activities in the dark, they will be challenging to see, that is, unless they are glowing, of course.
There are many more events that we offer that can be perfect for your Halloween event. Check out our other blog to see more ideas for your Halloween event!
Get Guests to Show up
Now that you have gone through the hard work of planning your event, you definitely want as many guests as possible to experience your perfect Halloween party. This can be rather challenging at times. Luckily, you already have the hard parts out of the way!
The best way for guests to show up is to be distinctive. You want noticeable attractions and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This can get people talking and excited for the events to come, and it will give them something to remember long after Halloween is over.
You also have to use these unique experiences to attract people. Posters, fliers, social media posts, and emails are all effective ways of spreading the news about your event. You will find these to be much more effective if people can see what makes your event special!
The last thing to keep in mind is that Halloween parties and events can get rather competitive with each other. People only have so much time on or around the holiday to go celebrate their Halloween spirit and family obligations, and other events can make it hard for them to fit it all in. So to get people to come to your event, make sure it’s the best event it can be.
Contact Us so we can help you set up this event and get everything started. We can help you beat out the competition and make your Halloween the best it possibly can be.
