Check out our Halloween Party Murder Mystery Party Kit!
We recommend running a costume contest alongside your murder mystery game for maximum levels of fun! If you haven't decided on a costume yet, don't worry... you have plenty of time!! We've got you covered with some unique and spooktacular costume ideas that will make you the life (or death) of the party!
1. Ghost of Fashion Past
Why not haunt the party as the Ghost of Fashion Past? Dig through your closet (or your grandma's) for some vintage threads and rock that retro look. Bonus points if you can find a pair of bell-bottoms or a groovy disco dress! This is a great costume if you love to thrift and value sustainable fashion.
Plus, if you want to do a group costume with friends, you can do different decades!!
2. Bad Case of Stripes
This is a great costume that comes to life with a little face paint! Dress up as the character from your favorite children's book. A great group costume could be to dress up as different children's book characters-- the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Rainbow fish are great additions to the group!
3. Alice in Wonderland Characters
This is a great costume for a group or to wear solo-- dress up as The Cheshire Cat, White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, and Alice! This is a recognizable costume that is fun, and you can interpret it in many ways using items that you already have!
4. Mario Characters
Mario has some great, ultra-recognizable characters that make for a fun costume! Mario and Peach are an excellent couple's costume as well, or Luigi and Daisy if you want to go as a double date.
5. Knights and Princesses
Knights and princesses are a super fun costume that you can rewear at the renfaire. You can make it as complicated or as simple as you like, and there are tons of great costumes online. You can also thrift outfits to make a really unique costume come to life!
These unique Halloween costume ideas are sure to make you stand out at your 2025 Murder Mystery Party. Remember, the key to a killer costume is creativity and a dash of spooky fun. Now go forth and slay (figuratively, of course) at the party!
