If you need a costume fast consider game Halloween costumes as a solution to your problem. A last minute invitation to a costume party can leave you searching for a costume but not willing to afford a fancy version. The Game costumes are perfect. You can use a new game every year if you want to become a real game player. With easy construction and minimal costs, this may be the answer to your needs.
You simply wear the game. How easy is that? Choose a favorite game from childhood such as Candyland or Monopoly, a thinking game such as Ouija or an action game like Twister. No matter what type you choose, you will be easy to recognize.
For games that include smaller pieces and game boards, you could attach these to clothing. Add holes to the top of the game board and loop it around your neck so it dangles in front of you. Sew the smaller game pieces into the sleeves of a sweat shirt. Monopoly might be a good one for this. Sew or glue the monopoly money along each arm so that it rests along the appropriate sides of the board when you hold your arms down at your sides, just like in actual game play!
Twister dresses are another option. This nostalgic classic is one of the easier costumes to create. The board for Twister starts out big and flexible. Cut a hole in the middle and wear it, or become a "Twister Ghost" by adding eye holes. If you want to get really fancy, actually sew the mat into a dress or smock.
All of the game Halloween costumes require destruction of the game itself so you might want to browse yard sales and thrift shops for cheap used games. After all, you don't care if there is a piece or two missing - you aren't going to play the game, you're going to wear it! Ebay and Craig's List are other good sources for cheap used games but remember to check shipping charges to make sure the total cost is low.
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.
If party goers are older you might want to stick to board games to avoid explanations of your character to everyone you meet. Edited by Svetchey Sanorols
