Shouldn't be one. I don't give a shit if you're 65 years old, if you knock you can have some candy. It's a holiday, for fun, I don't need to turn it into another fucking ethics test. I just want to have fun and I want others to have fun.

If you still βletβ them apparently they are young enough
If you're looking out for your kid/brother for safety, no limits. Otherwise, 16.
Oh of course! 16 OK, got you.

I'm fairly old and don't have kids and have never lived anywhere (as an adult) that had trick or treating. Based on my childhood memories of participating, I think having more older kids and young adults as, essentially, guardians, would be great. The parent to kids ratio was not great 30+ years ago. Just don't send out 23 year old creepers.
No age limit! I will give ANYONE candy, I don't even care if you're wearing a costume- but I really need you to say trick or treat. Opening my door and everyone just standing there silently is painful.
Anyone of any age can dress up and not have it be weird... but trick-'r-treating? Anything over 12 is just fucking weird to me. I'm instantly sus of any adult doing it (unless they have a kid with them).
When (not if β thereβs a few every year) clearly adult women knock on the door asking for a treat, I tell them they have to turn a trick first. Gets rid of them pretty quickly.

Thought this said Tik Tok for a second and was going to say 12. Then I realized- that works for both.
0, don't come to my house, these sweets are for me
Iβm thinking before people driveβ¦
After 14 you're weird outside of your neighborhood. If you don't have kids don't go
Nah man, that's definitely weird. I stopped around 13-14. After that, my friends and I got together for parties.
She's old enough to buy her own candy, it's time to quit mooching and creeping out the neighbors.
