party games

Hi I am hosting a fancy dress party where all the party goers ( from 0 - 60 years old ) have to come dressed head to toe in illuminous colours can some one please help me with a theme and games - I thought of a beach party or foot loose ( dancy type) or pirates and parrots
there will be about 40 people but the only game i can think of is limbo ( if thats what its called - you know under the pole ) it will be held in doors in a pub lounge ( no out side space ) and hopefully nothing too messy ( I promised to clean up! ) - please HELP!!!!

my son had a pirate party (but he is 4) I made a hook to fit on the chidlren's hands (well half a plastic container - abit like a soft yoghurt pot and put one of those candy canes like you have at Christmas on the end) let them hook those pretzel/biscuits with holes in them with it. Was surprised how many they got and how they didn't get upset. Perhaps you could adapt in some way?

or walk the plank blindfolded but you'd need cushions - we played outside (also with cushions)

a pub where we go every halloween gets a long piece of string and threads polos on it and youy all stand in a long line and suck - no biting allowed - keeps everyone quiet for 10 minutes or so and not much mess!!
