Quiz and Risk October Edition | Cognitive Stimulation Halloween Trivia Activity for Older Adults & Senior Groups

Bring laughter, suspense, and friendly competition to your activity sessions with Quiz and Risk: Spooky Halloween & Fall Edition, a fun, trivia-style game designed specifically for older adults in care settings.

This engaging group activity keeps residents on their toes as teams answer Halloween- and autumn-themed questions while navigating surprise point values that can completely change the game at any moment. Perfect for promoting social interaction, conversation, teamwork, and cognitive engagement in a light-hearted, entertaining way.

Here’s how the game works:
- Teams take turns choosing and answering questions.
- If a team answers correctly, they must decide whether to keep the points or give the points to another team.
- The catch? Teams must make that decision before seeing the point value.
- Point values are randomly assigned and can be positive or negative, making every round unpredictable and exciting.
- Question difficulty does not determine the point value, so anything can happen!

This game is designed to encourage participation from a wide range of residents while creating plenty of laughs, surprises, and memorable moments during group activities. Inspired by Halloween costumes, pumpkin patches, trick-or-treat traditions, harvest festivals, autumn leaves, cozy sweaters, apple picking, and seasonal treats, it brings familiar fall themes into a playful and engaging format.

This digital resource is designed to be displayed on a projector or TV, making it a perfect low-prep option for busy activity directors seeking an interactive, engaging, and different alternative to traditional trivia games.

This resource is available on its own or as part of our monthly themed packs.
