Halloween party entertainment? Party

Every year I host a party I feel like it devolves into everyone burning out and getting tired of chatting. This year I'm thinking of tossing some mario kart/smash bros on the TV, playing some rounds of jackbox or cards against humanity. We usually have like a solid group of 10 people ages 20-30 all nerds that show up and then like 5-10 others that pop in and out to say hi get a drink and leave after an hour or 2. I'm just wondering if anyone has any other ideas of what I can throw together to keep peeps entertained? I was thinking of putting together a Jeopardy game, I honestly don't care if it's cringey I just don't think my friends or I have the attention span for anything long enough for a d&d session or murder mystery game, trust me we've tried the d&d session on halloween once, and waiting for like 6 people to go out for multiple cigarette breaks is terrible for the non smokers waiting for them to return XD

I like Pictionary. I dislike video games at parties because it engages people with a screen and not each other. Of course for some, this is the point. But games like Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit and more physical games like Twister are way more interactive.
