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.
For board games or games that include small parts or pieces you can attach those pieces to your clothing. Punch holes in the game board, add rope, yarn or twine and let it hang from your shoulders. This works best using two of the game boards - one each for back and front. Decorate your neck or your hat with monopoly money or carry stacks of it in your hand to pass out as you go.
Games like Twister have layouts that are pliable and easy to use as game Halloween costumes. With strategic cuts you can turn the Twister layout into a tunic or skirt or can choose to become the ghost of Twister. Combine this with tights that match a color of one (or more) of the dots on the layout and you're ready to go trick or treating. Though you could use several layouts to cut and sew a piece of clothing the vinyl is likely to split or tear. Using simple cutouts is best.
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.
Older people, who had less video game exposure growing up, may have a harder time recognizing who you are supposed to be when wearing video game Halloween costumes. However, board games and more traditional and timeless games are usually recognizable by people of all ages.
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!
