Pick a group Halloween costume everyone will wear
Group costumes fall apart when one person picks a theme and half the group quietly hates it. Put four or five themes in a Rankd, send it to the group chat, and everyone ranks them privately. You reveal the theme the group ranked highest overall, and nobody shows up as the reluctant extra.
- Scooby-Doo gang
- The Avengers
- Mario Kart racers
- Spice Girls
- The Office
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Everyone ranks privately, so nobody gets talked into a costume they hate.
- Second choices count, so you land on the theme most people are happy wearing.
- You find out early, with time left to order costumes.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 12 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Match the theme to the number of people (four friends, four characters).
- Add a budget note to options that need a lot of buying.
- Reveal at least two weeks before the party.
Questions
How early should we decide?
Two to three weeks before Halloween gives everyone time to find or order their part. Send the Rankd with a reveal date in the message.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
