Are you wondering what to be for Halloween this year? Your search ends here (or should maybe it starts here and ends at Goodwill®.) We’re sharing all the inspiration you need to find the ideal costume at your local Goodwill. Whether you’re going solo or coordinating a group costume with friends, we’ve got you covered with our simple quiz.

Deciding what to be for Halloween can be even better when you take the costume quiz with your friends. Not only does it add an interactive element to the process, but it also lets you share and compare results. Maybe you’ll even find the perfect group costume for everyone.

How to Make the Costume Quiz More Interactive:

  1. Host a Virtual Quiz Night: If it’s hard to get everyone together or you have friends from across the world, organize a virtual gathering where you can take the quiz together. Use video conferencing platforms to share screens and discuss your choices. It’s a fantastic way to stay connected and enjoy the Halloween spirit.

 

  1. Create a Friendly Competition: Turn the quiz into a friendly competition by setting a time limit to decide on your costume or awarding points to whoever can guess what others will want to be. This adds excitement and a sense of challenge, making the experience more engaging.

 

Sharing and Comparing Quiz Results with Friends:

  1. Social Media: Share your quiz results on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. Show off your costume ideas and see what answers your friends got.
  2. Costume Planning Parties: Organize a follow-up costume planning party with your friends at Goodwill to search for the pieces you might need and get more inspiration from each other. These thrift parties can be a fun way to prepare for Halloween together.

 

Remember, taking a Halloween costume quiz with friends is a great way to find the perfect costume and an opportunity to bond, spark creativity and make lasting memories. So, gather your friends, take the quiz and let the Halloween fun begin!

Questions Overview

So, what’s in the quiz? In this section, we’ll address some of these questions and provide helpful insights to guide you in finding the perfect costume.

The first question is typically: ‘What should I be for Halloween?’ But, we recommend not starting with this question. Instead ask questions about your personal interests, current trends and budget.

 

Think about what you enjoy and what makes you feel excited or confident. Are you a fan of a particular movie, TV show or book series? Maybe you have a favorite superhero or historical figure you’ve always admired. Exploring these interests can help narrow down your options and simplify the decision-making process.

 

Current trends can also influence your choice. Pay attention to popular culture, such as trending movies, music or memes. Incorporating these trends can make your costume more relevant and relatable.

 

Lastly, budget is an important factor. Halloween costumes range from simple DIY creations to elaborate store-bought ensembles. Determine your budget and explore cost-effective options, such as shopping at Goodwill or repurposing items you already have.

Here are some tips to help you find the perfect Halloween costume:

  • Start brainstorming early to allow enough time to plan and prepare.
  • Get creative and think outside the box. Consider unique and unexpected costume ideas (maybe a new take on a pun or common saying.) We have some great pun ideas to get your juices flowing.
  • Try on different accessories and/or pieces to see what suits you best.
  • Consider the comfort and practicality of the costume for what you’ll be doing on Halloween, especially if you’ll be wearing it for an extended period.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for input or opinions from friends and family.
  • Remember that Halloween is about having fun and expressing yourself, so choose a costume that makes you happy.

 

More Quizzes

Looking for more fun to make your Halloween even more exciting? You don’t have to stick with just figuring out your costume. Maybe you’re planning a Halloween party; you could do a group quiz to decide on the party theme that you want to do whether that is a classic haunted house, a spooky masquerade ball or a mystical witches and wizard gathering.

You can even decide on your Halloween makeup with the help of your friends. Some costumes are pretty open-ended as far as what makeup look you’ll want to do. Test things out together and see what really makes your costume pop.

Get ready for a frightfully good time this Halloween with Goodwill. Let us help you make this spooky holiday season one to remember!
