Thirteen - Game Halloween Costumes: Easy And Silly Adult Halloween Costumes

By Liam Ethan


If you are pressed for an idea with the big day closing in, consider something unusual and easily recognizable. Game Halloween costumes are an excellent option and can be easy to assemble. It is all in your approach. While these have been done before, there are many games, both classic and new, that people will easily recognize. This allows for a number of options for Game Halloween costumes. Make it a tradition by doing a new game each year!

How does one create a Game costumes? One way to do it is to simply wear the game! This is the most simple and accurate way to approach your costume design. Choose a childhood favorite. Everyone remembers twister or Battleship or Ouija.

Small parts and pieces from board games such as Monopoly can be attached directly to your clothing. Punch holes on the top corners of two of the game boards and tie them together as a placard to hang from your shoulders. Add Monopoly money to a hat or carry it in a gaudy money clip to spread around to your friends.

Twister dresses are another option. This nostalgic classic is one of the easier costumes to create. The board for Twister starts out big and flexible. Cut a hole in the middle and wear it, or become a "Twister Ghost" by adding eye holes. If you want to get really fancy, actually sew the mat into a dress or smock.

Constructing your game Halloween costumes requires destruction of the games. You won't want to use your personal game supply for this but can find many copies available at thrift shops and yard sales. These are often priced cheaply due to a missing piece - but you don't care if there is one less red checker or one chess piece lost. You won't miss it. Ebay is another source for games but local sales may be the most inexpensive option.

For the younger generation game costumes might be designed to mimic a character from their favorite video game. Whether choosing a scene from a game or the Master Chief of Halo, these can be as complex or simple as your imagination can design. Fabric stores and craft shops carry materials suitable for recreating a gaming Warrior or a silver Pinball from an arcade game. Part of the fun of this type of Halloween costume is your ability to make your character clearly recognizable or to give the impression of the character so your friends will have to guess who you are. Don't forget to add a headpiece as this one accessory can truly pull your costume together.

Those of the older generation may not recognize any of your video game characters but a young crowd will know what you are doing. Thus, your choice of using a traditional action or board game or an internet wonder series may depend on who will be at the party you attend.

Game Halloween costumes can be fun for all ages. The options are endless, whether you are going for classic games everyone remembers or more modern video game characters. Save money by reusing or buying used games to build your costume, rather than ruining brand new ones. Enjoy the smiles you will get from gamers and enthusiasts as you hit the streets dressed as Twister, Monopoly, Super Mario or whatever Game Halloween costumes you come up with!
