Gather your supplies and divide your guests into squads of up to four. Set up a table with a designated spot for each group, and have one person from each squad wear a blindfold. Place a food item in front of them and whisper a fake, unsettling title if using the gross food variation. Count down and let the participant taste the item using only their mouth. The first to guess the correct ingredient earns a point. Rotate participants and maintain a running score, ensuring everyone tastes at least twice. The group with the highest total wins!

Directions
- Split your guests into squads, making sure no group has more than four participants.
- Arrange a table where every squad has its own designated spot marked by a napkin or small plate.
- Select one representative from each group to wear a blindfold and sit directly in front of their assigned spot.
- Position a chosen food item on the napkin or plate right before the blindfolded participant.
- If you are using the spooky food variation, whisper a fake, unsettling title to the taster instead of the actual ingredient name.
- Count down from three and let the participant sample the item using only their mouth, keeping their hands behind their back.
- The first individual to shout out the correct ingredient name earns a single point for their squad.
- Clear the table and rotate participants so a different person from each group takes the next turn.
- Maintain a running score tally, and the group with the highest total at the conclusion claims victory.
- Make sure every single member of each squad gets to taste the items at least two times throughout the game.
- Gather your supplies: blindfolds for every squad, Halloween-themed napkins or small paper plates for each food item, your selected gross or candy foods, and optional muffin tins with liners to organize the treats.
- This game works best with a mix of gross and candy food options, so choose your items from the provided lists.
