Fear Factor Party Ideas

Fear is an anxious feeling experienced when an individual anticipates some kind of danger or pain, but adding this anxious feeling to your party as its theme can ensure you and your guests immense fun. Fear factor party ideas include recreational activities wherein the person has to get over his fear to win various competitions. These parties range from very mild versions such as fear factor theme party for kids wherein eatables are disguised as things which generally scare the kids, to fear factor theme party for adults, wherein you use real crawling creatures which are harmless, but look very scary.

Fear Factor Party Invitations

You can make party invitations on postcards. Print the Fear Factor logo on one side of the postcard, with the schedule and the place on the other side. You can add some tag line such as if you think the fear element in you is missing, then you should make it to Roy's fear factor birthday party to test it. You can also make your invitations a bit different. Seal this postcard in a waterproof seal-easy bag and put it in a larger transparent bag filled with jelly and some creepy insects. Pack and courier these hair-raising invitations to your guests.

Fear Factor Party Games

Fear factor games can be broadly divided into three categories, eating or drinking something which disgusts you, having creepy crawly creatures around you or all over your body and face and lastly some sort of physical challenge. Remember that your fear factor birthday party ideas should only include harmless activities, mild in nature. You can have games like Ice-Cold Challenge, wherein you fill a baby pool or a glass tub with ice-cold water and place some marbles as well as crawly creatures made of plastic in it. Cover it with a plastic cloth and cut a slit through the cloth. Now ask the kids to remove these marbles from the ice-cold water. The kid who takes out the highest number of marbles in a specified time, wins. They can either remove marbles with their hands or legs. In yet another idea, take a large glass jar and place some quarters or nickels at the bottom. Get some crickets from the local pet store and put them in the jar.

The kids have to put their hand inside the jar and remove these nickels one by one. Make sure that they remove the nickels one by one or else while removing these nickels, they will smash the crickets. The kid who removes the most nickels within the specified time wins. As you grow older, your fear of these crawly insects becomes less, but a new fear grips your mind, that of eating these insects. For kids' parties, you can give children edible spiders, bugs or eyeballs which look absolutely real. For adults or teen fear factor theme party, you can use insects such as crickets for games. One such game would be to present a dish of crickets to the contestants, wherein the person eating the highest number of crickets within the stipulated time is declared the winner. You can also have games wherein you fill a glass tub with some insects and add some colored balls to it. The contestants should remove these balls with the mouth by putting their face inside the tub.

Adding some variations to your party ideas are bound to make them more enjoyable. To add some spark to your fear factor theme party, you can decorate the house according to the theme or provide the guests with fear factor costumes. Although they sound a bit scary, these party ideas can be full of sheer enjoyment. Of course if the words 'fear' and 'fun' go together, everyone is going to enjoy it.
