These activities are perfect for giving your office a scare.
18. Halloween-Themed Photo Shoot
Now that everyone has access to a camera, you can take lots of fun or spooky Halloween selfies in a photo shoot. It’s easy to set up a backdrop with pumpkins and spiderwebs, along with some cheap but fun costume pieces to use in your photos. Your coworkers can take pictures in their own costumes or use the pieces to create a fun, spooky memory to treasure.
19. Halloween Charity Drive or Fundraiser
You can do a fun Halloween activity for a few hours while raising funds or gathering donations for a good cause. Carving pumpkins, decorating Halloween cookies, or making fall wreaths while collecting funds or donations is good for the community and brings your team closer together. Plus, you’ll help the less fortunate for the coming winter.
20. Live or Virtual Escape Room
This is a great way to accommodate remote workers in your Halloween festivities. There are a few virtual escape rooms you can work on together, which not only improves your creative thinking skills but strengthens your coworkers’ collaboration.

In a virtual magic show, you can watch a professional magician perform tricks for up to an hour, many of which allow you and your coworkers to participate in the virtual space. Many magicians will accommodate you however you need, whether you prefer something raunchier or family-friendly or in a hybrid space.
22. Send Halloween E-cards
Sometimes you can spread Halloween cheer with a simple e-card. You can purchase a few different e-cards for each of your coworkers or send a single, massively appealing card. If you have the time, you can write individual cards by hand to bring a personalized touch to each coworker. Feel free to personalize it more with a piece of trivia or a spooky joke with each card.
23. Curate a Company-Wide Spooky Playlist
If you’re looking for new and fun scary music this Halloween, look no further than your own coworkers. You can ask your company members to send you a few suggestions for spooky music or songs. By Halloween, you’ll have a lengthy playlist full of classic horror movie themes, songs related to Halloween, or music that makes your skin crawl with fear.
24. Build Something Entirely From Candy
You can have a team-building activity where you build something entirely out of candy, like a moving car, a building, or a famous landmark. The winner can go on display for a few days, or if it looks too delicious, you can break it down and divide it among your coworkers.
25. Halloween Happy Hour
Celebrating Halloween Happy Hour can work as either a virtual cocktail class or you can gather to exchange your favorite spooky drink recipes. Not only can a happy hour let you relax and bond with your teammates, but you can enjoy several new drinks that get you in a spooky mood. You might even write a fun story that includes all these drinks.
26. Write a Collaborative Halloween Story
Start your original Halloween story with a set of words, one word for each team member. Each team member gets to write a line or small paragraph of the story, using their assigned word at least once. Pass the story along until each team member has contributed. Upon completion, the team can gather to hear the finished story.
27. Tell Scary Stories
You don’t need to be a master storyteller to enjoy this game. You can read your own favorite scary story aloud, or you can recite one from memory. Plus, you can turn this activity into a contest and see which story is the most terrifying. Feel free to use props and different voices to make your story come to life the most.
28. Try a Bob Ross Fall Scene Tutorial
If you’re trying to enjoy some fall scenery, you and your team can paint a fall forest with a Bob Ross tutorial painting party. There are many fall scene tutorials on YouTube, and you can easily get paints and canvas from the craft store. While you probably won’t find the exact shades that Ross used, you can easily paint the scenes yourself.
29. Take a Virtual Tour of a Haunted Location
Whether it’s Salem, MA, the Paris Catacombs, the Winchester Mystery House, and others, there are plenty of haunted houses, towns, and graveyards around the world to explore with your team.
