kill the demogorgon (Pinata)

This might take a bit of elbow grease and creativity, but a demogorgon pinata is a great addition to a Stranger Things themed event.  You can start with a pre-made basic circle pinata in and use paper-mache and other crafty stuff to turn it into a demogorgon creature.  

Fill it with treats and have guests take turns bashing it with a bat until it bust open and releases all it's goodies.

STRANGER THINGS PARTY GAMES & IDEAS
christmas lights message

Use a wall in your house to recreate Joyce's Christmas light communication board.  Make sure you get the lights that when one light is out the rest still light up.  

Decide on a simple two or three word message and unscrew all the bulbs (just enough where they don't light up) from letters that do not appear in the message.  


Draw out blanks (hangman style) on a dry erase board so that players know how many letters are in each word, and the order of the words. If you think the message may be too hard you can write in a few letters as freebies.  

Give each guests a paper and pen.  They must try and determine what the message is using the Christmas lights to tell them what letters are used.  The first player to guess the message correctly wins.  If you like they can then create a message to be guessed.  Continue playing for as many rounds as you like.


STRANGER THINGS PARTY GAMES & IDEAS
whose the mind flayer?

This is a fun guessing and bluffing game that players of all ages can enjoy!

Each player gets a character card and place it face up in front of them.  There are 14 character cards, each featuring a different character from Stranger Things.  Now each player draws a mini card.  All, except one, will have a Brain On image - the one that doesn't will have an image of the Mind Flayer.  

Each player looks at their mini card and then places it face up UNDER their character card without revealing it to the other players.  Players take turns making a guess as to whose mind has been taken over by the Mind Flayer.  Once a player makes their guess the accused must lift up their character card to reveal if they were right or wrong. If right they get a point and the mini cards are redistributed for another round.  If wrong the next player gets a turn to guess until someone guesses correctly.

Best for 5-14 players.

upside down 

 When Nancy ventured into the Upside Down, the Monster was unaware of her presence until she made noise.  In this game one player is blindfolded, they play the demogorgon.  They must try and search out other players on sound and feel alone. 

Once the player is blindfolded, the rest of the players hide somewhere in the playing area.  The demogorgon player must then try to find them by feel around and listening. 

 The demogorgon player can call for a clap up to three times during their turn.  At this point all the others players who haven't been found must clap loudly two times.  When a player gets caught (touched) they are out.  The last player to be found wins.  

Rules for hiders are that they must be accessible, and that once they find their hiding place they must keep one foot planted the entire round.

upside down slime

The upside-down world is just like our world accept grosser and slimier - that is why a slime station would be a fun addition to the party.  Slime is easy to make.  Most people know of the recipe that calls for borax, but borax is toxic.  Go to the link below for a slime recipe that is safe and fun.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Elmer's glue
  • food coloring
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup shaving cream
  • 1 tablespoon contact lens solution

Instructions

Measure the Elmer's glue into a bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring.  Make it slightly darker than you want because the shaving cream will lighten the color. Now Mix in baking soda, next the shaving cream, finally add in contact lens solution and stir.

The combination will start to come together.  Take it out of the bowl and kneed well. The slime will be sticky, but the stickiness will lessen the more it is handled.
