“You’ve Been Boozed” (Free Printables & Ideas)

Have you ever been BOOED in the month of October? Someone rings the doorbell, leaves a bag of fun sweet treats along with printables to play the game forward, then disappears into the night before you answer the door?

It is so much fun! ….

“I have fancied up the game a little by changing the instructional poem and using pretty Ava in a witch hat for the game free printables. I want to share them with YOU!
Scroll on down and let’s get the spooky party started!”

PS We can’t forget the children! Here is a “You’ve Been Boo’d Family Friendly Version”  with everything you need to play.

How To Play You’ve Been Boozed

Someone somewhere had the bright idea to kick this October Halloween game up a notch creating a version for grown-ups.

Just like being Booed, a neighbor, friend, or colleague anonymously leaves a treat on your doorstep. The only difference is switching the kids sweets and halloween toys with a six pack, bottle of wine, or liquor, other fun things (ideas below), and the one of a kind Ava “You’ve Been Boozed Game Sheets.” The receiver has two days to BOOZE someone else under the cover of darkness.

PS It is super fun to drive around looking for the “I’ve Been Boozed Ava Signs” on doors to see how far your kindness spreads.

Who Do I Booze? How Do I Choose?

Neighbors

Neighborhoods are where the classic game began. It is super fun to watch it grow and spread to others.

Friends

Friends are fun to play the game with because you don’t always live in the same neighborhood. Certainly, this spreads the fun in tons of neighborhoods. Bonus! You can customize the You’ve Been Boozed Bags with their favorites.

Family

Why not pick a family member to booze? This requires another level of stealth maneuvers to keep your boozer status under wraps.

Co-Workers

Co-Workers? Why not! How about picking a couple of people you would like to know better.

How Many People To Booze?

Play it forward to two or more people. I recommend picking someone you know and someone you don’t. As a result, you could make a new friend.

If you are like me, I like to get the party started by making 10 plus bags and do an even split of people I know and people I do not. Sometimes leaving at least two bags in a close by neighborhood is fun too.

When Do You Start the “You’ve Been Booed” | “You’ve Been Boozed” Games?

The first day of October is the perfect day to get the game started. Accordingly. this gives plenty of time to get the game underway and more people get to be a part of the fun.

When Does the “You’ve Been Boozed” | “You’ve Been Booed” game end?

October 31st is the last night for the game.

“It is fun to be the first to Booze people in your neighborhood and watch it multiply. My husband and I drive around and count the doors with the Sparkling Charm Boozed sheets on the front doors in our neighborhood.”

What To Do If People Get Upset That You Boozed Them?

Some people don’t enjoy being a part of pass it on games. That is okay. If they reach out to you, tell them they are welcome to keep and enjoy the goodies. If they refuse, pick them up and pass them on. Everyone is not lighthearted and fun.

It is time to have fun shopping! I recommend picking an alcohol, a few sweets, something savory, and something fun.
