Take the Costume QuizPlay a Halloween Game

Gay Halloween on Jibbi, explained

Queer people call Halloween Gay Christmas, and they mean it. It is the one holiday built entirely around dressing up, going out and being seen, which is what queer nightlife has always been for — masquerade balls and street parties were queer spaces decades before Pride was, and for a lot of people the last week of October is still the freest week of the year.

This page is everything Halloween on Jibbi. A costume quiz that tells you what to be in eight questions, a twenty-question round of queer horror trivia, three Halloween party games that play from one phone passed around the room, and guides to couple costumes, solo looks and actually running the party.

All of it is free. No sign-up, no account, nothing to download. The games suit groups of three to twenty and run fifteen to forty minutes, which is about as long as anyone stays sitting down at a Halloween party anyway.

Frequently asked

Why is Halloween called Gay Christmas?

For a lot of LGBTQ+ people Halloween is the one holiday built entirely around dressing up, going out and being seen, which is what queer nightlife has always been for. The nickname is an in-joke and a term of affection, and it goes back decades: masquerade balls and street parties like New York’s Village Halloween Parade, which started in 1973, were queer spaces before Pride was.

What are good gay Halloween party games?

Halloween Never Have I Ever, Gay Halloween Would You Rather and Halloween Paranoia all play from one phone with no sign-up, and Gay Halloween Trivia works as a team round. Each takes fifteen to forty minutes and suits groups of three to twenty.

What should I wear to a gay Halloween party?

The reliable categories are the iconic villain (Ursula, Maleficent, Cruella), camp royalty (Frank-N-Furter, Elvira, a Sanderson sister), the final girl (Ghostface, Jennifer Check, Wednesday Addams), a pop-star era (Chappell Roan, Bad Romance-era Gaga) or half of a couple costume (Batman and Robin, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy). The costume quiz picks one for you in eight questions.

Are the Halloween games free?

Yes. Everything on this page is free, needs no account or download, and runs in the browser on one phone passed around the room.

Are these games only for gay people?

They were written for queer friend groups, but nothing requires anyone to be gay to play. Straight friends get read just as thoroughly.
