From Costumes to Confidence: Why October Is the Month to Try Something New

October has a special kind of energy. Between the cooler weather, football games, fall festivals, and Halloween costumes, it’s the season where people feel encouraged to step outside their routines and try something different. Whether that means dressing up in a wild costume, attending a fall event for the first time, or stepping up to a trivia microphone, October is a month that inspires change and confidence.

At Challenge Entertainment, we believe game nights are one of the easiest—and most fun—ways to embrace that spirit. From trivia and bingo to music-based games, our events are designed to bring people together, spark laughter, and encourage confidence in a welcoming, social setting.

Costumes Build Confidence—So Do Game Nights

Halloween gives everyone permission to be bold. Put on a mask, don a costume, and you suddenly feel free to act differently, try new things, and interact in ways you might not otherwise. That same sense of freedom can be found in game nights.

When you sit down for trivia or join a round of bingo, you’re stepping into a shared experience that’s fun, low-pressure, and naturally social. Just like costumes give us courage, game nights create opportunities to shine in new ways.

Challenge Entertainment Game Nights: The Best Way to Try Something New

With so many different styles of play, there’s a game night for everyone. Here’s a look at the options you can dive into this October.

Live Trivia Nights

Trivia is a staple for anyone who loves to flex their knowledge. Whether you’re a history buff, movie fan, or sports expert, Live Trivia brings out your competitive side while keeping the atmosphere friendly and social. It’s the perfect confidence-builder because every right answer gives you that rush of accomplishment.

Pub Poll

Pub Poll changes the trivia formula by focusing on what people think rather than strict facts. Players guess the most popular survey answers, which means anyone can jump in and contribute. It’s one of the easiest ways to get started with game nights because it’s based on perspective, not expertise.

Ballistic Bingo

Bingo with an adrenaline kick. Ballistic Bingo adds energy, speed, and excitement to the classic game. If you’re someone who loves quick wins and lively competition, this is your chance to try something new while staying in the middle of the action.

Singo

Love music? Singo takes the traditional bingo format and swaps the numbers for hit songs. As clips play, you mark your card, sing along, and compete to win. It’s lively, interactive, and a guaranteed confidence booster—especially if you’re the type to belt out lyrics with friends.

Music Match

For something even more unique, Music Match puts your musical memory to the test. You’ll pair songs, artists, and lyrics in fast-paced rounds that keep you laughing and moving. It’s a great way to break out of your routine, and because everyone recognizes at least some of the tunes, it’s a natural way to connect with others.

Why October Is the Perfect Time

The fall season naturally brings people together. From bonfires and football games to Halloween parties, there’s no shortage of social opportunities. Game nights fit seamlessly into that mix because they don’t require elaborate planning or costumes (though you can always wear one if you want). You simply grab some friends, find your local Challenge Entertainment event, and dive in.

Trying something new doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, game nights make it easy to push past comfort zones in a supportive, fun atmosphere. Whether you’re shouting out an answer, singing along to a song, or marking your bingo card, you’re building confidence and making memories.
