This Halloween game puts a spooky twist on musical chairs. Players sit in a circle and pass a pumpkin while eerie music plays. When the music stops, the person holding the pumpkin is out or must complete a challenge, and the last player wins.

Directions
- Have everyone sit in a circle—around a cauldron for extra witchy vibes, or just on the floor or at a table.
- Turn up the spooky tunes and begin passing the pumpkin from person to person around the circle.
- When the music halts, whoever holds the pumpkin must either leave the game or complete a task from a challenge card—you decide.
- Continue playing rounds until just one player remains—that’s the champion.
