About this event
Ghouls, ghosts, and arcade monsters, it’s that time of year. The Halloween Costume Contest is back at Pinballz Lake Creek on Friday, October 30th at 8:30PM, and we’re kicking off Halloweekend the right way. Compete for prizes across five costume categories, each with a trophy and a $100 Pinballz game card on the line. The contest is free to enter. When you’re not on stage, you’ve got over 100,000 sq. ft. of arcade games, go-karts, laser tag, escape rooms, and full food and drink options all under one roof. How the Halloween Costume Contest Works: - Arrive Early – The costume contest starts at 8:30PM. Get here a little early so you have time to sign up and settle in. - Sign Up When You Arrive – Pick up a sign-up card, choose your category, and fill it out. You can enter one category per person, so pick the one that fits your costume best. Hold onto your card during the contest. - Walk the Stage – Each contestant walks across the stage to show off their costume in front of the crowd and our guest judges. - Winners Are Announced – Our guest judges pick a winner in each of the five categories and award trophies right on stage. Costume Contest Categories: We’re crowning a winner in each of these five categories. Pick the one that fits your look. - Scariest – Creepy, unsettling, and flat-out terrifying. Make the judges flinch. - Funniest – Get the crowd laughing. Bonus points if you crack the judges up too. - Sexiest – Bring the heat and turn heads with your boldest look. - Most Creative – Original concepts and DIY builds stand out here.
