Normal chess but you release 10, 000 Luna moths into the room, and people have to try and concentrate while they fly around at Mach 2.
Invent your own chess variant.

Not sure if asking for a chess variant here is a crime and a violation or TOS but what was the variant where it was like 1 piece against 32??
Could it be the variant I describe in my post just underneath yours, Jake?
Chess but the queen is replaced with the copycat. The copycat can imitate the piece that was played the most recent by your opponent. If the other person played their copycat, yours will function just like the queen. The copycat maintains the ability of the copied piece, until your opponent plays their next move. And lastly, if the copycat copies the king, it cannot be checked and can block checks to the real king.

just combine kung fu chess and chess960
Succession Chess
When a pawn reaches the sixth rank, it can promote to an Heir, a piece that moves like a Queen, but is limited to a 2 square distance.
If a second pawn reaches the sixth rank, it becomes the Heir, usurping the old Heir (which becomes a lowly pawn again).

And in this variant pawns can promote to anything - you name it - BUT the pieces on board
I think that existed historically.
in bangladesh (or atleast the community i know) play the rules by promotion limited to being the pieces your opponent has captured
How about 'Nope Chess'. People play in a dark room while creepy imagery is projected on to the walls and ominous music is played over speakers. People randomly burst into the room and do inappropriate things every so often such as scream at the top of their lungs, speak gibberish, or rant about how aliens are after them.
Try not to blunder while 'Rectum' by Thomas Bangalter pounds through the walls.
Damn, now I want to actually play this. I'd absolutely love to play blitz while Bangalter blares and a strobe light flashes and some 200 pound guy screams for no reason. I don't even care if I come dead last, that would be fun.
good luck

Black can go first variant.
That results in a total of four starting scenarios:
- play White pieces and White goes first
- play White and Black goes first
- play Black and White goes first
- play Black and Black goes first
This opens up the possibility of a whole new class of openings with regular chess rules.

Javelin Chess
You can use your move to make your king throw a javelin at any piece, including yours, and pull the piece 2 squares to the king.
Another example:

Wizard Chess: A pawn is replaced with the wizard, a piece that moves by switching places with other pieces. If the king is in check or checkmate, the wizard cannot switch with the king.

Necromancy: Like crazyhouse, but the dropped pieces can be moved after a non-dropped piece is moved.

Merge Chess: You can move one of your pieces on one of your other pieces and merge them. A new piece is obtained, moving like the two pieces you merged.

Bounce chess
Bounce your pieces 
Then it bounces off the wall
Not my invention but I was introduced to an interesting game earlier in the year. White has the usual set of pieces set out as they usually are. Black has only one piece, the Maharajah, who starts on d8. The Maharajah has the properties of a Queen and Knight. White's pieces move as they do in ordinary chess. White wins if she or he captures the Maharajah. Black wins if she of he is able to checkmate white or capture all his or her pieces (aside from the King). It's surprisingly difficult for both sides, and quite good fun.
