Players: Up to 14
Time: 15-30 minutes
Type: Balancing Relay

Setup:
Mark a starting line and a halfway point. Divide into two teams. Give each player an eyeball stand. Taller stands are more difficult, so save those for more skilled players.

How to Play:
The first player balances an eyeball on their stand, holding it at its base. They dash to the halfway point and back without dropping the eyeball, then pass the eyeball from their stand to the next teammate’s stand. The team that gets all players through the course first wins.

Rules:

• If the eyeball drops, players must return to the start, even during a pass
• No touching the eyeball except to place it on the stand at the beginning
• Players must grip the stand at the base, away from the eyeball

Variation:
Amy up the challenge by adding spooky obstacles or ghostly distractors between the starting line and halfway point.

Players: 2 to 14
Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Type: Scavenger hunt

Setup:
Divide players into teams: Green and Hazel. A non-player hides the eyeballs throughout the playing area then gives a countdown from 10 to start the game.

How to Play:
Race to be the first team to find all seven team-colored eyeballs and present them to the non-player.

Rules:

• No peeking while the eyeballs are being hidden
• Players cannot touch the other team’s eyeballs
• No touching opponents

Variation:
If there are multiple playing areas, teams can hide each other’s eyeballs and race to see who can find their set the fastest.

Players: 2 to 8
Time: 10 to 20 minutes
Type: Tossing Game

Setup:
Use the stands to form a grid.  It doesn’t need to be even so long as each square is distinct. Turn all the eyeballs eyeball-side up so the point values are hidden, then mix and randomly place them in the grid squares. Set a throw line 5 to 10 feet away from the grid.

How to Play:
Players take turns tossing the carrot from the throw line. If more than half of the carrot lands in a square, the player collects the eyeballs in that square. Continue until all eyeballs have been collected. The player with the most eyeballs at the end wins!

Rules:

• The carrot must land with more than half in a square to count
• If the grid is disrupted, re-form as needed 
• If an eyeball is knocked out of the grid, it is out of play

Variation:
Instead of playing for total eyeballs, play for score. When a player lands the carrot in a square, they collect the eyeballs and earn the score on the back. There are two special eyeballs: If a player gets the dreaded zero ball, their total score resets to zero; if they get a 2x eyeball, their current score doubles. Play until all eyeballs are collected. The player with the highest score wins!

Players: 2-4
Time: 20-40 minutes
Type: Precision Tossing Game

Setup:
Divide into two teams. Form two throwing lines, 10 to 20 feet apart. Each team sets up their stands within one foot of each other, placing the eyeballs on top, facing their opponents.

How to Play:
Teams take turns throwing the carrot at their opponent’s eyeballs. The goal is to knock off all of the eyeballs from the other team’s stands. The game ends when one team’s eyeballs are all knocked down.

Rules:

• Teams alternate turns throwing the carrot
• No blocking a throw but distractions are encouraged!

Variation:
Use the point values on the back of the eyeballs. Play until one team reaches 21 points or more. The “zero” eyeball resets a team’s score to zero, and the “2X” eyeball doubles a team’s current score.

Don’t forget, you can use these eyeballs as eerie decorations! Put them in jack-o’-lanterns, alongside your Halloween table, or scatter them in your trick-or-treat stash.
