What I love about this fun Halloween Game
- This Halloween Game would also be a perfect addition to your Minute To Win It Game Night! Just time the kids for 1 minute and see how many eyeballs they can find
- It’s a great sensory game for kids to play. the wet spaghetti noodles are so much fun to play with
Supplies Needed for this Halloween Game
You’ll Need…
- At least…2 lbs. of spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained (the more the better)
- 2 cups of water set aside for game time
- Large bucket, bowl, or even an inflatable pool – the biggest you can find. A big storage tub would be awesome
- Toy eyeballs 12 or more -again…the more the better
- Eye mask or towel so nobody peaks
- Suggested – plastic tablecloth
Instructions for Setting up the Eyeball Dig Game…
- Pour the drained and cooled spaghetti noodles (brains) into a large bowl
- Push the eyeballs into the wet spaghetti noodles
- When you are ready, place the bowl of eyeballs and noodles on the table
Playing Eyeball Dig Halloween Game…
- Blindfold the kids that are playing
- Set the timer for 1 minute
- Have kids dig to find as many eyeballs as they can in one minute
- Add the eyeballs back in and add more water to the noodles if necessary
- Let kids take turns until everyone has had a chance to play
- Keep a tally of which kid won each round and add them up at the end to see who won
*Keep your cup of water nearby to moisten noodles as they tend to dry out
Team Play
Have 2 or more large bowls or buckets set up at the table
Kids can go head-to-head digging at the same time to see who can find all of the eyeballs first
-OR-
Time them and see what team can find the most
Keep a tally of which team won each round and add them up at the end to see who won
Here’s another variation for a large group…
If you want to take this game up a notch, and I love you for that…get yourself 2 giant buckets or storage tubs, tons of noodles -maybe 10 pounds each, and lots of eyeballs. That would give people more gross wet noodles to dig through and make it a lot more challenging
Expert Tips
- *12 eyeballs in 2 pounds of noodles (brains) will take approximately 1 minute to find. If you want the game to be more challenging for a 1-minute timer – add a few more eyeballs.
- *Another fun tip is to make 2 gross bowls of noodles for side-by-side competition and see who finds all 12 eyeballs the fastest
- Obviously, unlike me, you’ll want to place an easy-to-clean-up plastic tablecloth under the game. It can get messy
- Keep your cup of water nearby to moisten noodles as they tend to dry out

~Melissa – Kid Friendly Things To Do
This game sounds fantastic!! We do an annual Halloween party for adults, and I think this would be hilarious!!
Quick question…..how early can you cook the noodles before the game??
Like 2 hours?? Or 3 even?? It gets so hectic before a party starts, and I know for adults I will need LOTS of noodles 😉
Thanks!
Three hours would be just fine. You can even cook the pasta a few days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. To soften the pasta and make it slippery again before your party, just run it under hot water or throw it in boiling water for a few seconds. Have more water handy, in case it dries out again throughout your party. Olive oil is another alternative to water, but you run the risk of getting oil on clothing. I hope you have a fun time with this game. If you get the chance, come back and let us know how it goes. 🙂
Are the eyeballs hard
Yes. The ones in the photos are plastic. I have used both plastic and rubber eyeballs. They both work.
As a kid we used peeled grapes as eyeballs. Bonus points if you eat them???
I love that! I will definitely use peeled grapes the next time we play this game. So fun and gross!
