Whenever there is a blackout in my block, I usually get very bored, there is nothing to do and you have to just sit in the dark with candle light and wait for the lights to appear.

Mentioned below are some scary games to play in the dark. Play these games with people who have a strong heart and not with those who are so scared of the dark that they start crying and screaming, every time there is a black out.

The Ouija Board: This game is a classic. It has been there since ages and still is one of the most popular scary games to play in the dark. Always a great choice to play in a blackout. Playing this game is very simple, you begin by just asking a question and wait to see what answer does the scary oracle give. You and the other player sit around the board. Both of you place your fingers gently on the message indicator and one of you asks a question loudly. All the players who are laying have to concentrate very hard on the question. Close your eyes while concentrating, it makes it more spooky. Wait for the indicator to move. The indicator stops and your answer is revealed through its message window.

Simpsons Tree House of Horror Monopoly: It is one of the best scary games for kids. It’s a popular game with a slightly scary theme. To play this game, players purchase scary themed properties from the Simpsons scary tree house. It’s your good old-fashioned monopoly game with a Simpsons background. A plus point for this game is it takes some time to play, so it’s a great way to pass time.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board: This scary game gives me the creeps. It starts with players laying their hands slightly under the volunteer who is lying on the floor. All the players gather around the volunteer and a story-teller tells a scary tale about the volunteer’s life and his/her unfortunate and scary death. Once the story is complete, the participants surround the volunteer’s body and chant loudly “Light as a feather, stiff as a board” and lift the volunteer’s body off the ground. The gist of the game is that the volunteer has to feel that haunting spirits are assisting in the lifting. This is one of the best scary games to play in the dark with friends.

Rules to Play Paper Football

► A two player game will require the tossing of a coin, according to which the opener of the game is decided. The two players have to sit facing each other, with the table in between them.
► The player defending his goal post will need to create a goal area, by touching both his thumbs together. The rest of the fingers will be held up, so as to create the goal posts, akin to American football fields. Both players must either keep the goal posts at similar heights or use other items in order to demarcate the goal area.
► A game starts with a Kick-Off, which actually means to make the first flick or slide of the triangular football. The opponent will need to kick the ball according to where it stops on the playing field, which is the table. However, if the ball falls over the edge of the table, it is considered as a foul, and no score is allotted for this move.
► Secondly, if during the kick-off, the offensive party slides the ball in such a way that the ball has a part of its edge sticking across the edge of the table, then it falls under the Safety Zone. This move gains 2 points for the opening slider.
► There are other ways of initiating a kick-off, the most popular being the Wind Rule. Under this rule, the player needs to place the ball on his or her palm and flick it up in the air, by slapping the underside of their one hand by using the free hand. The objective is to make the ball fly across to the defensive goal post, in order to gain a 2 point score.
► The paper football cannot be pushed and must always be flicked, using the same technique as used while playing the carom-board game or the game of flicking marbles.
► A Touchdown is the highest scoring move, which earns the slider 6 points. It looks like a kick-off and requires the edge of the paper football to be jetting out over the edge of the table. After which, the opponent will try to disturb the paper using a key chain, pen, pencil or ruler. If in case the paper slides over and falls from the table, it is considered as a touchdown (TD)!
► Soon after scoring the touchdown, the player will get a second chance to score 1 or 2 points, which will be added to the 6 points from the touchdown.
► For a score of 1 point, it requires that the player flick the ball in the air, so that it travels across the middle of the goal posts.
► The Two Point Conversion requires that the player slide the ball across the table, much like a touchdown, in order for the ball to reach the edge of the table. Read the rest of this entry »
