If you’re hosting teens this Easter, you’ll probably need more than a basic egg hunt. In my experience, teenagers love a bit of competition and it helps to have strategy and high speed against-the-clock high vibes thrown in to up the excitement ante.

So here's a bunch of 15 of our favorite, super fun, teen-approved games that involve Easter eggs (chocolate eggs, mini candy eggs, or plastic fillable eggs). 

These Easter egg games for teens are high energy, genuinely fun, and ideal for groups of four. Most are easy to scale up if cousins or friends join in.

If you’re also planning your overall setup, you might like these Easter party hosting tips for simple ways to make everything feel organized and relaxed.

15 Fun Easter Egg Games for Teens for Parties

Take your pick of the games below, I'd suggest that three to four games are enough to get the party energy cranked right up to max. 

1. Golden Egg Heist

This is a high stakes twist on a traditional egg hunt. One egg contains a premium prize, several contain funny forfeits, and the rest hold sweets. It turns a simple hunt into a fast paced scramble with added suspense.

What you’ll need: 20 to 30 plastic eggs, 1 gold painted egg, mini candy eggs, slips of paper with light challenges, and a main prize.

How to play: Fill most eggs with sweets, a few with challenges, and one with the grand prize. Hide them around the house or yard. Set a 10 minute timer. Players must complete any challenge before continuing the hunt. Whoever finds the Golden Egg wins the main prize.

2. Egg Roulette

Egg Roulette adds suspense and risk. Some eggs contain chocolate, others contain sour sweets or harmless surprises like confetti. No one knows what they’re choosing, and that’s what makes it fun.

What you’ll need: 12 to 16 plastic eggs, mixed candy, a few wildcard fillings, and number labels or a spinner.

How to play: Number each egg and arrange them on a table. Players take turns choosing a number. Whatever is inside must be eaten or used. Keep it playful rather than extreme. The player who handles the most wildcards confidently wins.

3. Easter Egg Relay Stack Off

This fast paced relay combines balance, teamwork, and speed. It’s competitive without being complicated and works brilliantly outdoors.

What you’ll need: 20 or more plastic eggs, spoons, two baskets, and a stopwatch.

How to play: Split into two teams. One player at a time must carry an egg on a spoon to a stacking area and add it to a growing tower. If it drops, they restart. First team to successfully stack 10 eggs wins.

4. The Egg Trade Challenge

Part strategy game, part negotiation battle, this challenge gets surprisingly competitive. Players must trade cleverly to build the most valuable candy collection.

What you’ll need: Plastic eggs filled with different sweets, a timer, and one rare egg with bonus value.

How to play: Each player collects five random eggs. Set a five minute trading period where players can swap eggs to build matching sets. At the end, the strongest matching set wins.

5. Blindfold Egg Smash (Safe Version)

This is a safe, teen friendly spin on a piñata style game. Suspended eggs filled with candy become moving targets while blindfolded players rely on shouted instructions.

What you’ll need: Plastic eggs hung from string, a blindfold, a lightweight stick, and candy fillings.

How to play: Hang eggs outdoors at a safe height. Blindfold one player at a time, spin them gently, and let them attempt to tap open an egg while others call directions. They keep whatever falls out.

6. Guess How Many Mini Eggs in the Jar

Simple, competitive, and surprisingly intense once guesses start getting close. This classic game works beautifully with teens because it’s quick to set up and fun right up to the final reveal.

What you’ll need: A clear jar or container, mini chocolate eggs, paper slips for guesses, and a pen.

How to play: Fill the jar with mini eggs and set it somewhere visible. Each player writes down their guess. Closest guess without going over wins the jar.

7. Easter Egg Target Toss

This carnival style challenge tests aim and control. It’s simple to set up but surprisingly competitive once scores start adding up.

What you’ll need: Plastic eggs, three buckets at different distances, and tape for throwing lines.

How to play: Assign point values to each bucket. Players get five throws each from behind a marked line. The highest total score wins.

8. Speed Egg Unwrap Challenge

This chaotic table game is guaranteed to cause laughter. The challenge is simple. Unwrap as many chocolate eggs as possible while wearing oven mitts.

What you’ll need: Foil wrapped chocolate eggs, oven mitts, and dice.

How to play: Players sit in a circle. One player rolls the dice while the next attempts to unwrap an egg wearing mitts. When someone rolls a six, they take the mitts and continue. The player who unwraps the most eggs keeps them.

9. Easter Egg Escape Puzzle

Turn Easter eggs into a mini escape room experience by hiding riddles and clues inside them. It adds problem solving and teamwork into the mix.

What you’ll need: 6 to 8 plastic eggs, printed clues, and a locked box with a prize.

How to play: Each egg contains a clue leading to the next. The final clue reveals the code to unlock the prize. First team to solve it wins.

10. Egg Tower Engineering Challenge

This is a creative, problem solving challenge that taps into teamwork and design skills. It’s perfect for teens who enjoy competitive building tasks.

What you’ll need: Plastic eggs, limited tape or string, and a timer.

How to play: Teams have 10 minutes to build the tallest freestanding structure using only eggs and the limited materials provided. Measure height at the end. Tallest stable tower wins.

11. Chocolate Egg Auction

This strategy based game adds psychology into the mix. Players must decide whether to spend big on visible prizes or gamble on mystery bundles.

What you’ll need: Assorted chocolate eggs, printed fake money, and an auction list.

How to play: Give each player the same amount of fake money. Auction off egg bundles one by one. Some can be visible. Others remain mystery lots. Player with the highest value stash at the end wins.

12. Egg and Spoon Knockout Tournament

A competitive twist on the classic egg and spoon race, structured as a knockout bracket for maximum tension.
