The 31st of October is approaching, and the most-awaited Halloween parties are right around the corner!
As they say, this is the beginning of the dark and cold winter after harvest. Over time, it became a day of non-stop trick-or-treating by spooktacular kids (and the young at heart) dressed up with their favorite Halloween characters.
Get ready as we share with you 6 spooktacular virtual & in-person activities you can do at work to celebrate Halloween!
The Importance of Entertainment Activities for Employees
Work is like a jungle; it is dangerous, noisy, and messy, but for those who live there, it is a peaceful and stress-free environment where they feel safe and belong in. Yes, work can be stressful, but if we look at it differently, we can design activities that will help us grow as individuals and, most especially, as a team.
Having fun at work promotes a less stressful and more productive environment. Employees can enhance teamwork and engage in friendly conversations while having fun, thereby boosting their creativity, which leads to new ideas.
Entertainment activities at work significantly impact a person's overall well-being and improve their mental health. In the long term, this can add value to your company's success and promote a harmonious workplace culture.
How Do You Throw a Halloween Party?
Is your team ready to throw a spooky virtual or in-person Halloween party? If not, schedule the perfect time and date for everyone, pick your theme, and have your online platform ready. Either way is a great idea!
Send out invites and let them choose their scariest costume with a pumpkin basket filled with memorable and fun experiences for the Halloween virtual & in-person event ideas we prepared for you!
Cookies are a staple food during Halloween that both kids and the young at heart enjoy! Baking your own spooky cookies with your team can be an ideal way to unleash your creativity.
With our Halloween-themed Cookie Decorating virtual or in-person event, you will enjoy our freshly baked cookies from the comfort of your own home, get creative with awesome cookie designs, and of course, have your kids enjoy the fun too. The best thing is, all you have to do is sit back and relax, as the kits will be delivered right at your front door!
Our fully organized class is beginner-friendly, and you have a pastry chef teach you how to bake and decorate cookies through a one-hour live demonstration.
Here are some cookie decor suggestions that you can try:
Ghost with a cute jack-o-lantern Cookies
Jack-o-lantern with batty eyes Cookies
Halloween Spider and Web Cookies
Whites, Black and Gold Skull Cookies
Black and Orange Cookies
Pumpkin Emoji Cookies
Spooky Face Halloween Cookies
Eat, drink and be scary! Get the team together for a happy hour in our Cocktails and Mocktail experience featuring the best authentic flavors. Level up the fun and excitement by indulging in a happy hour at your Halloween party.
Get ready to shake and mix the like a pro mixologist with our fun team that will guide you every step of the way, all for a virtual or in-person teambuilding activity full of fun, spooks, and booze!
Preparing for a Halloween party can be time-consuming, and you don't want your teammates to go hungry. This is where our Sushi Rolling experience comes in.
Learning a new skill as a team can be more enjoyable than doing it on your own. This class will teach you how to properly season sushi rice, cutting techniques for vegetables and protein, and how to make spicy mayo as your sushi pair!
The best thing is that you can hold a contest and design your sushi in line with your Halloween theme. What activity could be more fun than creating your food, right?
Spooky Art Contest
Take your team's imagination and creativity to the next level and make it real. Organize a spooky art contest by sending out custom kits to your team like a Halloween Origami event.
Establish mechanics and announce it before the virtual art contest begins. Set a list of rules and regulations, prepare criteria for judging, and don’t forget to set a time limit.
Of course, don't forget the prizes. The winners deserve a fantastic treat, such as a gift certificate to a spa or salon!
Spoil your sweet tooth with Kits by Food Craft’s DIY Chocolate Truffle Kit! You can create different spooky truffles with easy, no-bake chocolate truffles for a spooky yet sweeter bond!
Design your truffles as a mummy or make it look like a jack-o-lantern - your mind’s the limit!
Murder Mystery Game
Another fun yet thrilly game to add to your virtual Halloween party is a Murder Mystery Game! The objective is simple - a murder case story should be solved over time, and participants should figure out who among them is the killer.
Level up the murder-solving experience by choosing fun themes and plots with “shreds of evidence” and other things that might be useful to solving the case!
Some themes currently trending right now include:
Roaring 1920's: The Great Gatsby
Pirates
James Bond
Haunted Mansion
Harry Potter
1980s Murders
Hollywood
1940s Murder
The Wild West
Sherlock Holmes
Cruise Ship
Phantom of the Opera
Murder at Prom
Christmas Capers
Assigning roles can be a little tricky regarding a virtual murder mystery. Have fun solving the murder case, and don't forget the prizes!

Making a living is definitely necessary, but we only get one life, so let us take advantage of this opportunity to have some fun and start making memories together.
