Quest tasks are a very interesting and popular entertainment. Players are given various riddles and clues, with the help of which they move from one point of a given route to the next, receiving pleasant surprises for this.

Questions asked to participants are often united by one topic that the quest is dedicated to. The main requirement for their composition is diversity and unusualness. The degree of fun of the game depends on how difficult they are. But when coming up with clues, it is also important not to go too far and not make them overly complex.

Main classification

The simplest tasks for quests in terms of level of preparation are questions in notes. They are encrypted on pieces of paper that participants need to find or earn at each stage of the competition. There are many varieties of them.

1. The name of the next point of movement is cut into separate letters, which, when put together correctly, participants will know where to go next.
2. Use of puzzles and charades. They can combine pictures, numbers, letters, which, if interpreted correctly, give clues about the further route of movement.
3. Riddles in logical series. For example: “Heat comes from the oven, but where does the cold come from?”
4. An option in the best spy traditions is tips written on paper using melted wax. To find out the answer, you need to color the leaf with colored pencils.
5. Placement of signs along the entire route. But these do not necessarily have to be ordinary arrows. You can use flowers of a certain type or traces of an animal. Tasks are often done in this form for For example, you can tell them: “Follow in the footsteps of the lion cub and you will find a pleasant surprise.”
6. The phrase that makes up the clue may contain mixed words. Players need to place them in the correct order. This is the only way they will know what to do next.
7. The assignment is written backwards and must be read correctly.
8. The hint is applied to paper using lemon juice or milk. Along with the leaf, participants are given a candle and a lighter, thanks to the heat from the fire of which the words should appear and direct the players to the next point.
9. Digital encryption of words is used. For example, instead of each letter its serial number in the alphabet is written. The key to the puzzle must be guessed or won at one of the previous stages.
10. As a task for an indoor quest, you can use an object located in the room in several copies, one of which contains hidden instructions regarding further actions. This could be a book, a box, a nightstand and the like.
11. Another interesting option- using hints written in the form. Deciphering them is not an easy task, but it is very exciting and interesting.
12. Riddles can be encrypted using pictures, each of which symbolizes part of the name of the next destination.
13. Messages are also placed with magnets on the refrigerator door.
14. Notes are hidden inside cookies, candies and other products.

In order for participants to successfully complete all stages of the competition and get the maximum amount of pleasure from it, the tips must be interesting and original. For victory in each individual stage and the game as a whole, you need to prepare prizes.

Since the tasks for quests directly depend on the chosen topic of the competition, we will consider the most popular options for conducting it.

You can get confused even within four walls

You don't have to go outside to play this game. The indoor quest tasks are no less exciting than the outdoor ones. There are several varieties of this type of game.

1. Escape from the room. Just by the name itself it is clear where this competition is held. Its essence is that participants are locked in an entire apartment or a separate room, and with the help of clues they must find the key to get out of it. This is a very unusual and interesting way to entertain guests who come, for example, to celebrate a birthday.
2. Tasks for quests in the office Great for surprising your boss. If the company is small, each employee can come up with one puzzle for the boss and thoroughly enjoy watching him rush around the building in search of a solution and his gift. The office is an ideal place to hide a lot of clues, solving which will be an unforgettable entertainment.
3. Interesting examples of tasks for quests in mall . And if it is also large, you can organize a truly unforgettable game in it. After all, in large shopping complexes you can often get lost, even just while shopping, and what can we say about looking for clues and solving puzzles! For example, you could give participants a photo of a dress and they would have to find out its price. But first you need to find a boutique that sells this particular model of clothing item. Also, as an option, hide the piece of paper with the next task in some jacket, which you will also need to find from the photo. But in the case of this task, you will need to warn the store staff in advance so that no one accidentally sells this item to anyone.

We turn on our brains to the fullest

Who said that intellectuals can only be measured by their knowledge? They can be no less nimble and active than others. If you have a few of these bookworms among your friends, get them out of their textbook-strewn rooms and into the fresh air.

Arrange for them a quest in the style of the TV shows “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, “The Smartest” and “What? Where? When?" Prepare encrypted messages-hints on knowledge of various facts from history, geography, physics, biology and any other sciences. Make sure that the answer to each question serves as a clue to your next destination.

You can also organize a similar test for your significant other on the anniversary of your relationship or on any other occasion. Only in this case, questions must be tied to dates, places and events from life together.

If your “victim” loves the TV series “Theory big bang”, involve its main character Sheldon Cooper in the case. The confusing notes, written in an abstruse style in the style of this eccentric physicist, will greatly amuse any connoisseur of intellectual humor and will make him rack his brains thoroughly over the clues.

For the little ones

Children's tasks for a quest game can be no less exciting and interesting than adults. To organize such a competition for your child and his friends, use your favorite cartoon or computer game characters. Write your questions on pieces of paper with a picture of a particular character. You can use images from one cartoon, organizing the entire quest in its style, or from several at once.

A great source of inspiration can be computer game"Klondike". Quests and tasks invented on its basis consist of searching for various artifacts related to the theme of the Wild West. For greater realism, children can be dressed up or fully dressed up in the best traditions of Westerns.

Participants can go in search of treasure, following the directions of the map. On it you will depict several streets closest to the house, designing it in the style of the Klondike game. Quests and tasks of this type involve searching for treasure, opening hiding places, asking friends for help, etc. This adventure will bring kids a lot of joy and pleasant gifts. Any holiday with such a game will become an unforgettable event in the life of every child.

“Klondike,” the quests and tasks in which are very exciting and varied, is far from the only option for an interesting game. A moving quiz in the style of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” would also be great. At the final destination of the journey, a man dressed up as Jack Sparrow will be waiting for them, who will present the treasure to the winner.

Hiding the answers away

You can come up with a wide variety of interesting tasks for the quest. For example, use your old suitcase and hide the grand prize in it. And let the participants collect the code that will help open it, one by one, throughout the game.

To come up with tasks for quests in the apartment, use a deck of cards. Scratch directions for the next step on the end of it and give it a good shuffle. To make out the message, players will have to put the cards in the right order. Give them a hint that says something like “Hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds will reveal to you the secrets of the future.” This will let players know what cards they should be looking for and what order they should put them in.

We present gifts in an original way

To give an unusual gift to the birthday boy, you can also use a quest. Birthday tasks can be very different. For example, you can arrange a whole trip around the city in search of a present. The end point will be a dressing room with a bunch of boxes, in one of which the treasured souvenir will be hidden, and to find it, you will have to open them all.

You can also arrange an exciting quest around the city, the tasks of which will lead the birthday boy to a place where a surprise congratulatory party awaits him. Here's how you can start your journey. Leave a piece of cake in your friend’s room the night before with a note containing something like this: “Well, your birthday has come. Today everything will be for you, but to get the treats prepared, you will have to work hard. After all, nothing in this life comes easy. And even your holiday is no exception. To start, dress comfortably, eat some cake, and recharge your energy with some coffee. You’ll soon find out what to do next.”

If you are going to give the birthday boy some clothes or jewelry, you can leave the following message in the coffee can: “I hope you liked the cake and you finally woke up completely. If yes - well done! Now take something stylish with you and go in search of your happiness.” Even if there is no surprise among the things, you can simply hide a note in the closet with further instructions.

If you want to give a mobile phone as a birthday present in an unusual way, let the participant receive one number at each stage of the game. They will consist of a phone number, by calling which, in the end the birthday person will find his gift.

We fight the insidious numbers

Interesting quest tasks can be created using the most different ways numbers. These can be either the most basic tasks like counting the number of steps in a house, or sophisticated puzzles. You can encrypt the code in a magazine or book. Participants will first have to guess the name of the required publication, and then use the given page, line and word numbers to find a clue to the next action.

Quest tasks also often consist of unraveling the phone number of the person who received the key to the next step by email. To guess the treasured numbers, you need to find information on the Internet as quickly as possible about the height, age of stars or dates of famous and not so famous events. Such a puzzle might look like this.

A good example

“Are you finally here? I can’t even believe that I finally made it! I am sure that you will not go further, because this task is clearly not up to you. The fact is that the necessary code was sent to one person, whose name I will not say. You can only contact him by phone, but you won’t get his number either. Whether you like it or not, you will have to guess it. So the first number is Arnold Schwarzenegger's weight in grams, you need the second number. Next is the fourth number from the year of birth of Leonardo DiCaprio. Then - the second growth figure of his Wolf of Wall Street co-star. Renee Zellweger's birthday month. Then - the second half of Penelope Cruz's foot size. And the last number is the date when Jason Statham's girlfriend was born. May the great star expert Google help you!

Examples of tasks for a quest of this type can be encrypted as your heart desires, and use any wording that comes to your mind. Since completing this task requires the help of an Internet search engine, you can ask questions of any complexity. It is also not forbidden to mention stars in whose biographies your friend-player is not very strong. But to make it even more interesting for him to look for answers, you can ask for information about his idols.

Hollywood to the rescue!

Tasks for quests in the office and on the street can be organized in the style of any films and TV series of the group of people for whom the game is being played. You can come up with a myriad of riddle options.

For example, you can use the “Men in Black” theme in a very interesting way by starting the competition with the following note: “Greetings, Earthling! We, Agent K and Agent J, need your help. We have detected it coming but have not yet identified the planet from which it was sent. This could be a warning to people about an alien invasion of Earth, so they need to act very quickly. The message is encrypted. The best of our agents are struggling to decipher it, but they can’t do it without you. We have parts of the message, but without help we cannot reconstruct all its contents. Start searching the entire text immediately! You will be Agent M and will receive all the necessary data from Agent B. Don’t forget that the fate of the planet is in your hands! See you later!

A sea of ​​topics

An interesting hunt for monsters can be organized during a quest in the style of the TV series “Supernatural”. For lovers of royal intrigue, the ideal option is the Game of Thrones competition. And for fans of The Walking Dead, an unforgettable surprise will be meeting the zombie apocalypse on the city streets.

“The Lord of the Rings”, “Harry Potter”, “Transformers”, “Fast and the Furious”, “Batman”... This list can be continued indefinitely, because any popular film is simply a storehouse of facts that can be used to write riddles. The same can be said about online entertainment. For example, the game “Klondike” is perfect for this purpose; its quests and tasks will make the holiday unforgettable.

PART TWO. SEARCHING FOR A GIFT( , ).

Remember those times when a child’s birthday was exclusively ours, the parents’, holiday?

The baby was babbling peacefully in the crib per year or destroyed the apartment at two years, not suspecting that he has SUCH an event that day.

At three o'clok it consciously rejoiced at gifts, at 4-5 was already celebrating with all its might, although it was often confused about the dates and seasons.

At six o'clock already wrote the guest list in clumsy block letters, but at 7 onwards I planned my birthday six months in advance. And every month on YOUR day he asked, do you know what will happen in five, four, three, two and one months? Guess it!

Well, how can we forget? After all, parents, although they pretend that they don’t care what kind of day it is, are terribly worried about how to make your next birthday memorable.

One of the most inexpensive, easy and fun ways is to hide an already prepared gift.

I’ll suggest an option on how to do this in 15 minutes. You will need the Internet, paper and markers and... everyone will envy your creative approach.

If you don’t want to bother with puzzles and encrypted cards, then you need to mark out places in the apartment where you can hide notes. To begin with, I chose a teapot and began searching the Internet for riddles on everyday topics.

In response to the words of my son, who the day before told me in an ultimatum form that tomorrow, when he wakes up, a chair will be waiting for him near the bed, and on the chair there will be a gift, I just grinned.

When he opened his eyes, a note with the following content was waiting for him near the bed:

ROUNDTRIP!
(actually, this was a subtle hint that I hid the gift under the bed).

If you think that the Great Mumrik is hidden in the bowels of the earth, then you are mistaken! Search! And what always tries to escape will tell you.

(Since we are still tormented by Astrid Lindgren's tales of Kalla Blomkvist, the context is clear. Also, our slippers always run away, and this was also clear to the child).

A chain of slippers was laid out from the bed to the door; in one of them there was a note with a riddle about the kettle:

Puffed, snorted
He sang songs to us.
And click - it boiled.

My imagination got tired of the teapot and I put a laconic note in it with the text:

“Under daddy’s pillow.”

I hid the following riddle about the battery under my dad's pillow:

In our house under the window
There is a hot accordion.
Doesn't sing or play.
She heats the house.

On the battery was the following note with a riddle about a broom:

Busy Egorka took up the cleaning.
He started dancing around the room.
I looked around - the floor was clean.

A little surprise awaited me here. Gleb went through the options that were close to him about a bucket and a rag, ran to look for a vacuum cleaner, and the last thing he remembered about the broom was my hint. Here they are, modern children, or in our house they don’t use a broom.

The last note with a riddle about the bed was stuck into the branches of the broom:

During the day the pillow sleeps on it,
And at night Andryushka.

That is, Gleb returned to where he came from and found a gift under his own bed.

The most chic thing would be if someone quietly threw a gift on the bed while the child was throwing around the apartment. But I didn’t have any assistants.

Thanks to the Internet for a happy childhood!

My beloved husband’s birthday is coming soon and I am, as always, puzzled about what to give him. For all the holidays, I always give my husband unusual gifts. They can be expensive or cheap, but they are always unusual. Perhaps you don’t know what to give your loved one now, and my ideas from last year will suit you.

The year before last, for his birthday, my husband received a quest .
I was running out of time, so I just wrote riddles on pieces of paper and spread them around the house.

The first task was on the front door, so I woke up my husband, congratulated him and said that he should look for the gift 😈 And the start is in the corridor.

1. I’m lying under your feet,

trample me with your boots

and tomorrow take it to the yard

and beat me up.

As you probably guessed, it was a rug at the front door, and underneath it lay the following riddle:

2. I’ll let you into any house,

You knock, I'm glad to knock,

But there's one thing I won't forgive

If you don't give me your hand.

Under the handle of the front door, the following riddle was taped:

3. Stretched out like an accordion,

Miracle stove under the window.

Here we already had to work hard and go through all the batteries in the house.

4. Who came out into the rain with me,

For that I am like a roof.

On one of the umbrellas there was the following riddle, which threw everyone into a stupor (the children helped the husband)

5. Not on the floor

Not on the shelf

And he looks into the house,

And out onto the street.

Did you guess it?

This is a window. For mine, this was the most difficult riddle; we went through all the places in the house.
And when they realized that it was a window, they found on it a package of “Squirrel” sweets with the caption “A gift from a squirrel” and the following riddle:

6. He willingly inhales dust,

Doesn't get sick, doesn't sneeze.

Near the vacuum cleaner there was a package of sunflower seeds labeled “A gift from the sparrows” and the following riddle:

7. Behind the white door there is cold, ice,

Santa Claus and friends live there.

In the freezer there was a set of seafood with the caption “For a romantic dinner” and a riddle:

8. Our dough has arrived

To a hot place

Hit, not lost,

It became a hot bun.

There was a gift from Maxim in the oven - a drawing and a riddle:

9. During the day he sleeps with a pillow,

Well, at night Maksyushka.

Under the pillow of Maksimka’s sofa lay a congratulation:

Happy Birthday beloved husband and dad!!!
You passed all the tests

Proving once again,

That we were not mistaken about you!
You are a reliable husband for me

And an example of a man for his son,

Loving father for his daughter!

We love you!
Happy birthday!
I wish you success, development and prosperity!
