Excited for a sweet and spooky night? Halloween is right around the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make your costumes, buy some candies and decorations, and have a night filled with scarily fun activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

We might not be able to go out trick or treating this year yet, but we\u2019ve prepared some fun activities you can still do that are equally exciting and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some ways you can celebrate Halloween with your friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween costume party<\/b><\/h2>\n

Costumes have become part of Halloween. Whether you\u2019re trick-or-treating or simply holding a costume party for fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning to host a virtual Halloween-themed costume party, here are some ways to make it more exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Costume competition<\/b><\/h3>\n

Host a virtual costume party with your family and friends and assign judges to make it a legitimate competition. Increase the hype by adding a prize for the grand winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also solicit participation fees and the winner gets all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instruct the contestants to make use of their whole screen when presenting their costumes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let them use virtual backgrounds that compliment their costumes, or have them setup live sets from their homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to have everyone else shut off their cameras when the contestant is presenting so the spotlight is on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who\u2019s behind the mask?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another way to hold a costume-themed virtual game is to have everyone wear full face masks of their favorite horror movie characters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that you instruct everybody to clear their names when entering the virtual meeting room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Decide on the order of which you\u2019ll be playing, and take turns guessing who the people are behind the masks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The person who guesses the most right answers wins the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go on a virtual tour<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you miss going to haunted houses in theme parks like Enchanted Kingdom and Star City, you\u2019ll definitely enjoy this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go on virtual events such as WanderManila\u2019s <\/span>\u201cOne Night in Manila\u201d<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a free online Halloween tour that takes you on a trip through Manila\u2019s iconic locations known for their dark, horrible, and violent past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For a more exclusive tour, you may also opt to avail a paid virtual tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual escape room<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is the online version of escape rooms, a live role-playing adventure game where you\u2019re locked in a themed room.<\/span><\/p>\n

To escape, you must solve puzzles, riddles, and mysteries.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you fail to finish within the allotted time, you\u2019ll be facing consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

This game has now gone virtual but the rush is definitely still the same. Prepare yourselves for some deafening screams and shrieks once you decide to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may look for your choice of virtual escape rooms at <\/span>Mystery Manila<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Shoor<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play Halloween-themed virtual games<\/b><\/h2>\n

Play online games that are perfect for your Halloween celebration with your friends or family. Try out Jackbox Games\u2019 Party Packs and enjoy safely from your own homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some games you can purchase on <\/span>Jackbox Games<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may play these games on any device that supports web browsing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monster Seeking Monster<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to spice things up with your friends, try this spooky dating-themed game where you get to match with your friends and spread terror amongst everyone based on your character\u2019s special abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be a zombie who infects everybody that you match with, or a werewolf that can turn your date into a werewolf too by matching with them on a full moon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trivia Murder Party<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

This Halloween-themed game is great for people who love trivia games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer the questions correctly or you\u2019ll end up on The Killing Floor where you\u2019ll have to compete with other players who were also incorrect.<\/span><\/p>\n

In there, you\u2019ll play mini games that will determine if you\u2019ll return to the main game or die and become a ghost.<\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t lose hope because ghosts still have a chance to win the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Split The Room<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Play a game of what-ifs where you do your best to try and divide the players according to their answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The omniscient cat, who happens to be the host of the game, will be giving you a fill-in-the-answer type of statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

You get to decide between two answers that you think will make the players go against each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more divided they become, the more points you\u2019ll be getting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from these paid games, you may also want to try playing <\/span>Suspects: Mystery Mansion<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s a mobile game where you put your trust to the test.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players will repair the mansion through tasks so they can escape; but there are suspects who will try to sabotage the escape plan by killing players or planting bombs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find out amongst yourselves who the suspects are, but you\u2019ll be surprised how well the suspects can fool you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, don\u2019t forget to make use of some spooky virtual backgrounds when you celebrate Halloween online.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can download some free backgrounds on <\/span>Kapwing<\/span><\/a> or try super cool <\/span>Harry Potter backgrounds<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re up for it, you may also send some Halloween-themed care packages to your loved ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Download the <\/span>Smart GigaLife app<\/span><\/a> from the <\/span>App Store<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Google Play<\/span><\/a>, and subscribe to Unli Data or 7 Days Unli 5G so you can celebrate the best virtual Halloween party ever.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
