Trick or Treat, is a Hallowe'en custom in both England and the US, where kids go round to people's houses on Hallowe'en night, dressed in some kind of costume, and challenge the inhabitants with the cry, "Trick or Treat?"

Explain a game played In Halloween
There are several games traditionally associated with Halloween parties. One common game is dunking or apple bobbing, in which apples float in a tub or a large basin of water and the participants must use their teeth to remove an apple from the basin. A variant of dunking involves kneeling on a chair, holding a fork between the teeth and trying to drop the fork into an apple. Another common game involves hanging up treacle or syrup-coated scones by strings; these must be eaten without using hands while they remain attached to the string, an activity that inevitably leads to a very sticky face.
