This document describes a candy toss game for a Halloween party. Participants stand behind a pumpkin filled with candy and take turns tossing the candy into other pumpkins placed around the room. If the candy lands inside a pumpkin, the participant keeps it. Special pumpkins offer a bonus prize. The game involves lining participants up to toss candy, allowing them to keep any candy that lands in a pumpkin. It continues until all candy and prizes have been distributed. Variations include using different sized candy or tokens instead of candy.
