The Candle Game

Fortune-telling games have been played around Halloween for hundreds of years. “The Candle Game” (very vaguely named) is a very simple game that supposedly will foretell what the coming year will bring the players. Gather your friends and give it a try!

What You Need

To play The Candle Game all you need is:

  • One Orange Candle (Travel)
  • One Green Candle (Money)
  • One Pink Candle (Love)
  • A Blindfold

If you do not have the correct color candles, just label one of the candles “Travel”, one “Money”, and one “Love”. 

If you have many players at your party, you may want to get a second set of candles in case they burn too low.

How to Play

  1. Set each of the candles on a table in a row. They should be about one foot apart.
  2. Light the candles.
  3. Blindfold the player.
  4. Shuffle the candles so the player cannot know which candle is which.
  5. Spin the player around three times.
  6. Have the player walk to the table and blow out one of the candles. Whichever candle he or she blows out is their fortune for the coming year.

Repeat those steps for each player.
