Let’s unlock our gem suggestions!
5+ Fun-Filled Games to Add to Your Halloween Packaging
Here’s our curated list of 6 interactive & creative games to make your packaging stand out on the shelves.
1. Pin the Scythe on the Grim Reaper
Do you still remember the classic game we used to play as kids, named “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”? Well, since it’s the time of Halloween, let’s update it a little bit and add the picture of the famous Grim Reaper. Imagine your Halloween boxes showcasing a creepy soul squasher, and its scythe has to be cut out from the lower end of the box.
Clearly mention the instructions: cut out the Grim Reaper poster and try to pin its scythe in his bony hand; whoever is closest to the hand wins the game, but the real winner will always be your packaging. Ssshh!
2. Pumpkin Toss Activity
Design your product boxes carved like a jack-o’-lantern or a creepy pumpkin. The main idea is to use it as a bucket after unboxing the product. Write instructions such as “Spooky pumpkin toss activity is here.” Tell your customer to throw a ball from a distance into the bucket or cut out a wide-mouth piece from a jack-o’-lantern and let everyone toss a shot! Whoever wins can get a treat. Perfect for the Halloween evening activity, right?
3. Halloween Monster Cards Activity
Our third and most interesting suggestion is to print monster cards on your box packaging; this way, your product will also sell fast, and people will buy the boxes for the cards that are missing from their slot.
Use creativity while designing your creepy cards, and use monsters that could correlate to Halloween and give super horror vibes.
4. Solve the Murder Mystery Challenge
The most exciting way to design your product packaging for Halloween is by adding a fictional curiosity driving a murder mystery that is yet to be solved.
Print a short story on one end and then probe clues disguised as elements all around the box, give a clear guide inside about the rules of the game and what the winner would get, and suggest dares that the losers have to do after losing.
This way, the game would get more fascinating and would definitely make everyone laugh and have a great Halloween night.
5. Decode the Haunted Mystery
Our fifth recommendation is to confuse your customers and get them hooked on your products’ packaging by adding a spooky code yet to be unlocked. You can use symbols, numbers, or creepy elements such as skulls, ghosts, or pumpkins that represent specific letters. And at the end, they are going to unlock a special offer from your brand. Sounds amazing, right?
6. Escape the Spooky Labyrinth
Last but not least is every kid’s favorite: escape from the haunted labyrinth. You can print a maze on the back of your box packaging, and your character must run away from a haunted mansion or a graveyard towards safety.
You can also print different characters at various points of the maze so your character could be in charge of saving other characters as well. This stuff could work well and make your box go viral, especially among children.
Benefits of Interactive Game Packaging
These boxes will drive curiosity and excitement among all age groups. The following are some of the benefits of interactive Halloween packaging:
1. Become Popular Quickly
As the icons of Halloween are very familiar to everyone, your product can easily get picked up on the shelf, and when customers see games printed on the packaging, they will surely take it along with them, but we strongly suggest always using vibrant and event-related colours to get instant notice in front of other boxes.
2. Act as a Keeper
Since your boxes will have interactive packaging, they will definitely become a keeper for a long time, so don’t forget to print your logo somewhere that would be visible to everyone who takes a look at your box.
3. They Are Made Sturdy
As Halloween packaging will be interactive and people will keep it for a long time, it sure has to be sturdy as well. This will make people come back to you, stir again and again, as they will have an idea that you only deliver high-quality products and boxes.
4. Better Design Opportunities
As your Halloween boxes will be one of a kind, make sure to design your boxes in a way that would look attractive to everyone. You can contact professional box designers such as YBY Boxes Canada to assist you on this journey.
