You can do it in nature, and in the forest, an ordinary room will do if the game is not a team game.

Puzzles

The key element of the quest, when you are going to organize a search for a gift, are the clues hidden in the adventure scenario. You can invent them yourself or borrow one from various sources, where there are ready-made scripts for the birthday of children. The rating of puzzles depends on the difficulty.

The next stage of preparation in the children's adventure scenario is the laying out of tasks and surprises in order to carry out the search. You need to make sure that each subsequent puzzle points to the next waypoint in your game.

You can start by hiding the first clue in a place where you can discreetly push the guests or the birthday person in the right direction, in case the room in which the gift is being searched does not want to part with its secrets. You can also hand over the first task in person, send it in the form of SMS, ask your friends to hand it over in the form of a letter. Then, along the chain, distribute subsequent tasks.

Pre-think original text in the scenario of the adventure itself, you can include in it, giving a start and setting the tone for the selected scenario. It all depends on the hobbies of the birthday man and the invited children.

The next question that needs to be addressed is: where is it most convenient for children to conduct a quest on such a significant day? There can be a lot of options: from your own apartment, to outdoor adventures in nature: in a city park, in a country house, and even on your own personal plot.

Quest Personal plot, at home or in the country

Team quest for children, looking for a gift

A team game is a special kind of game, as it can include previous ideas for a search team or be, for example, a competitive type of adventure when 2 teams participate. This script can be used not only for birthdays, but also for joint activities in class or kindergarten. According to the results of the game, you can make a rating of the smartest players.

The goal of such a game is to find a hidden gift faster than the opposing team or the second option, which involves collective game both teams. Alternatively, each team separately from the other must find their part of the map, combining which you can find a common prize.
For team competitions, you can take various games, For example:

The game "I'm a director today"

You can also play mimes and portray:

Game progress

The course of the birthday game for children should be smooth, moving from one point to another, you, as the leader of the holiday, should, if necessary, guide and prompt the players who can get stuck and get confused (anything happens). Although you should not rush, give the children a chance to figure out the task themselves.

Such entertainments as a quest room have become quite popular. Here the fantasy of the authors will provide you with real scenery and special effects, as well as unimaginable scenarios for the development of familiar plots, just type in a search engine and you will be given a rating of the popularity of these establishments in Moscow.

Quest for a boy

As mentioned above, scenarios for boys may differ from those for girls. Therefore, you need to properly prepare and take into account the interests of the birthday man and his friends and make everything perfect.

Can be used logical tasks from matches (how to turn one number into another), light chemical experiments, mark the numbering of books on the shelves, you can use stereograms for tips, mixing colors, tongue twisters.

If you do not have time for personal preparation, you can visit a room with theatrical quests in Moscow. The rating of such entertainment for children and adults is quite high and the topics depend on the age, besides, you can participate with the children. Themes are different: on the theme of space, cartoons, literary, military, pirate, fantastic and terrible.

For example, a detective script:

1) Preparation

All tasks are designed for one participant, but if you wish, a group of friends will not hurt.
Host: adult (parent or guest animator).
Time: about 1 hour.
Venue: apartment.
Age of participant: boy 7 years old or more (you can redo it for a girl if she likes this genre).
This script will ideal option if it is decided to give the child a live puppy or kitten.

Necessary materials:

envelope with the image of your favorite detective (classic Sherlock Holmes, Dora the Pathfinder, Diego and others), paper and pen
some attribute of the "sleuth costume"
flash drive, phone, tablet, or laptop - any gadget on which you can play recorded audio files
5 different “footprints” of a dog or cat paw cut out of paper (each in several copies)
toy or live dog or cat (depending on the gift)

2) Start

We start in the hallway. In the door or under it, an envelope with the first task sticks out, if the child does not notice it right away, say that "it seems someone was knocking" or "oh, what is it." So, the envelope is in hand.
The child should open the envelope and read the letter.

The text of the letter can be changed according to the chosen chief detective and style: “Dear friend! I have to ask you for help. happened to me terrible story: (let your imagination run wild and enter the plot). I ask you for help! You will find everything you need for searching in the place that is located in the house, and at the same time - on the street.

Sincerely, (name of the chosen hero)."

The task of the child is to figure out where the box with the necessary attributes is hidden. This is a balcony. If it's hard to understand. Then use the hint and add the word from the letters left in the envelope. The little detective must add the word "balcony".

3) Investigation

We go to the balcony and find a box there, we take out the attributes of the “detective costume”, dress it. The box contains a memory card (any memory carrier, depending on the chosen gadget), a note and "traces".

The text of the note: “Evidence is collected here, it will help in our case. Listen to the tapes and identify the voice of the Baskerville dog (hero cat and others - according to the script), and then go on the trail.

Five audio audio files with different voices are pre-recorded on the memory card barking dogs or meowing cats. The files need to be numbered. One of them will belong to the Hound of the Baskervilles or (hero cat). We do it this way - we give the child to listen to the desired voice 1-2 times in order to remember. Then listen to everything in any order and find out which of the records belongs to the dog or cat you are looking for.

It may happen that the first time it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter, repeat the task.

When the desired file is recognized, the child must remember or write down in a notebook, like a real detective, the number of the desired file.

Now it's time to explore the mysterious dog/cat footprints in the box, all "paw prints" are numbered. In the room we will also have 5 types different traces no numbers but different sizes, you can even play with the color coming from the balcony to certain parts of the room (glue with tape to be sure). Only one of them is correct.

The task is to take the track with the desired number from the tracks in the box (this is the number of the guessed sound file), and find the same one on the floor. Having found the right direction, let's follow the trail until it leads us to the next goal. This will be the closet.

4) Search

Inside the closet, a note is attached in a visible place and several wardrobe items are hanging, for example, a shirt, coat, jacket, jacket, trousers, etc. Things that are superfluous and repetitive in name are best moved to another closet for a while.

Text of the note: “Dear friend! You are a real detective! Be careful: the things of the criminal who hides the location of the dog (cat) are hanging here. You need to carefully search these things and find the missing pieces of the puzzle, from which you need to assemble the word. This word will show you the way forward.

In the pockets of things, seven pieces of paper with letters are hidden in advance, each with 1 letter. If things to be searched have many pockets, then the search will be more exciting. The task of the child is to find all the letters and make the word "corridor" out of them. From the letters you need to make up the name of the next room with the task, for example, kitchen, corridor, living room.

After that, you can move to this room.

5) Intelligence tasks

An envelope with another note for the young detective is lying on the floor in the selected room.
Text of the note: "Great job! Getting closer and closer to the goal. The next task is to use logic and deduction to solve all the riddles. Only then can you get an answer as to where to go next.”

The facilitator sequentially asks riddles:

You can find a lot. You can use numbered cards and a card with the number of voice (trace) from the initial tasks, it will be about the subject of the home environment, in this subject you will hide the next clue.

After that, he needs to search the hidden object and find a dog collar in it (if the gift is a puppy or a bow on a string, if it is a kitten). A note “go to the next room” will be attached to the collar (bow) (if there is only one room, then you can use the kitchen or bathroom).

A plush dog or cat (if a toy is intended) will be waiting for the winner in the next room. If the animal is real, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to persuade him to sit quietly, therefore, in the final search, the search should take you outside and there your assistant in the person of a relative or friend will present the treasured gift.

Of course short script, but what prevents you from taking it as a basis and compiling your own version.

For girl

Girls can do just as well with tasks for boys, but still they like slightly different genres. The rating of entertainment for girls is headed by fairies, princesses and fabulous adventures.
The scenario for a girl can be based on the plot of her favorite fairy tale or on testing her skills as a hostess, or in general, combine everything at once - the main thing is to be interesting, and the birthday will remain in your memory as an incredible adventure.

The scenario for the girl is similar in logic to the above scenario for the boy. Let's just change the main character.

Only when she wakes up, the girl can find a flower or an envelope, and in it a note that her beloved fairy or princess is asking for her help. You can write tasks in verse, bring your favorite toys to the riddles, flowers on the windowsill, outfits. Moving around the room in the final, you can make a word inviting you to continue the holiday in a cafe or in an amusement park and present the main gift there.

When are you planning children's holiday, the easiest option is to contact people who are professionally involved in organizing holidays. They will offer you a lot of options, different kinds entertainment, among which quests are especially popular today.

Quest- this is a chain of tasks, interconnected by some topic, a common goal.

It is not surprising that children are delighted with quests, because they love to solve mysteries, go to the goal and get such a coveted prize as a result.

But to arrange an exciting quest, it is not necessary to contact anyone. By turning on ingenuity and imagination, any parent can write a script for their special quest, which will be compiled taking into account the hobbies and interests of your child. And such a quest will be even more valuable, because you have put your soul into it, and even more interesting, because who, if not you, knows how to interest your own child.

To write a script, you will need tasks for a quest for children. Consider different variants children's tasks, arranging which, you can create your own unique scenario.

To read it, you need to do with it certain actions. Examples of such a letter:

milk lettering. Appears when heated. To do this, you will need matches or a lighter, so this task should not be given to kids. But even if you are doing a quest for schoolchildren, at this stage it is desirable to participate or at least the presence of an adult for security purposes.
wax candle or crayon. Paper with a hint must be painted over with a pencil so that the inscription appears. Great safe option tasks.
embossed inscription. We take two sheets of paper, put on soft surface and write the message so that it is printed on the bottom sheet. He will be ours secret letter. To read the inscription, it must be painted over in the same way as in the previous version.

Crossword

You can easily make your own. For example, the answer to the next stage will be the word “sun”. For each letter of the word, we come up with another word: the letter “C” is a dog, etc. And it may not necessarily be the first letter of the word. Then for each of the words we select a leading question or a riddle. The answers fit into the cells and the result is a hint word in one of the columns. We paint it with some color. An example of such a crossword can be found here.

Hidden clue

For this type of task, you will need a container with sand, any cereal or pasta, in which a capsule with a hint is hidden. You can also use a bucket of water.

Such tasks are more suitable for a quest that takes place in nature.

You can hide the hint not in a container, but in a certain area. It can be some bushes or thick grass.

Quiz

One or more questions, after solving which, the participants receive a hint. It is desirable that the questions of the quiz were united by one topic. These can be phrases from fairy tales, according to which you need to guess the fairy tale itself.

More quiz options:

we take several objects or pictures, we must guess from which movie or cartoon these objects are;
geographical quiz - guess countries, cities;
a quiz with questions about animals, birds or insects;
quiz with questions about household appliances or about any items used in everyday life.

If the quest is conducted with schoolchildren, the quiz can be devoted to any subject that they study at school. In this case, the task will be not only exciting, but also useful.

labyrinth

More suitable for nature, but can also be arranged at home. On the street, it can be stretched ropes between which you need to crawl, or a tunnel of branches - this should already be looked at from the availability of materials.

At home, you can use a special children's tunnel or stretch tape between the walls in the corridor.

Mystery

It can be both in prose and in poetic form. The answer is the key to next task.

To complicate the task, write the riddle backwards - then the children will have to try to read it, and then only guess.

Rebus

We depict the key word with the help of a rebus. You can choose a ready-made rebus, or you can come up with it yourself.

Puzzle

We pre-print a word or picture on paper, stick the paper on thick cardboard and cut into pieces. The task of the child is to put the puzzle together to get a hint.

Word encrypted with phone buttons

Phone buttons have letters, which means that each letter in a word can be represented by a number. But each number corresponds to several letters, which complicates the task. Such tasks are suitable for schoolchildren, kids may not be able to cope with them.

Word encrypted with icons

Each letter of the alphabet is denoted by some sign - a circle, a square, an asterisk. Children are given a cipher of signs and an alphabet with symbols. Their task is to pick up letters and guess the word as soon as possible.

find 10 differences

A well-known entertainment since childhood is to compare two pictures and find the differences. It is quite possible to make it a task for a children's quest. The team to look for differences is much more fun and interesting.

relay races

This is part of the quest in nature. There are a lot of relay variations. You can come up with your own, stylizing it to match the theme of the quest. For example, if the quest is dedicated to the New Year, then instead of a ball, children can pass each other a toy snowman or a bag of Santa Claus with gifts.

Who is out of place here?

Children are offered a few words or pictures. Their task is to determine which object or word is superfluous. The extra word will be the key to the next stage. A variant with complication - we guess each word with a riddle or a rebus, then the children first need to unravel the words, and then look for something superfluous among them.

Count

We prepare cards with hints in advance, on each card there is a word and a number. To find out which word is the key, you need to count something. You can count steps in the entrance, benches or trees on the street, windows in the house, etc. We complicate the task - we need to count several objects, then add these numbers to get the key.

Find the right box

It is necessary to prepare several identical boxes, one of which contains a key or a word. The task of the participants is to open all the boxes. The option is more complicated - we put a key in each, but only one of them fits the lock, or we put a piece of paper in each, but only one of them has a hint.

Mirror reflection

We write a word or a riddle in a mirror image. Participants must guess for themselves that they need to use a mirror to read. By the way, the mirror can also be hidden, thereby making the task even more interesting.

General task rules

Only the main options for tasks are selected here, you can take them as a basis or come up with your own, but you must follow a few rules:

All assignments must be free of danger. You can not force a child to swim across the river or kindle a fire;
Problems must be age appropriate for the participants to be able to actually solve them. But at the same time, they should not be too simple;
the stages of the quest should be united by one theme, smoothly transition into each other, line up in a logical chain;
at the end, the participants should expect a prize, and it should be such that no one is offended. If the game is a team game, then the prize should be calculated for the whole team. If desired, you can give small prizes at each stage of the passage.

We hope that our tips will help you and you will organize your original and exciting children's quest!

A quest is a game consisting of several tasks (levels) united by one storyline. Each completed level gives a clue (hint) to the next task or a common goal.

As a rule, there can be 7 - 10 such levels, but maybe less, or maybe more, depending on their complexity and the age of the players. The main thing is that the quest does not bother its participants, so its duration usually takes no more than 1.5 - 2 hours.

The history of the famous wizard boy is known and loved by all modern children, so they will not mind visiting Hogwarts School of Wizardry with Harry Potter.

From the very beginning, you need to create intrigue in order to arouse a keen interest in the game among the guys. For example, read a note from Dumbledore stating that a birthday gift will open a spell that children will only learn after going through a difficult path of testing. Let the magic phrase be "celebration incipit" ("the holiday begins"). She, syllable by syllable, participants will receive as a reward for completed tasks that resonate with the theme of the quest, for example:

"Brew a potion." The essence of the competition is to reveal invisible letters written on clean slate paper soda, slightly diluted with water. Having lowered the "scroll" into the potion, we will see the first syllable "SE". And you can prepare a decoction according to the attached recipe by mixing "Blood of the Salamander" (red grape juice) with "Mandrake Juice" (white grape juice), adding two phoenix bird tears ( plain water).
"Message from an owl" - check the mailbox, in which you need to put the newspaper "Daily Prophet" in advance, with a written syllable « LE».

For everyone to be interested

When choosing topics and tasks for a home quest, do not forget to take into account age and individual characteristics child.

Quest for children 4–5 years old

The game should not tire the baby or bore him, therefore:

The quest is given no more than 30 minutes.
Carefully think over the theme, children of this age are close: fairy tales, New Year's gifts, animals, music.
Tasks should be feasible and interesting, based on the child's ability to navigate in space, perform elementary tasks on fine motor skills, arrange pictures in sequence, assemble parts into a whole, build according to a model, hatch, color.
Logic contests must be alternated with motor activity.
It is recommended to use more colorful illustrations, pictures and decorations, since the thinking of children of this age is visual-figurative.
Not all five year olds can read, so tasks and tips are best done in the form of images or audio explanations.

If it is difficult for a child to get comfortable in an unfamiliar company, he can participate with his mother.

Children's quest at 7–9 years old

The game is still the leading activity, but it needs to be organized correctly:

high activity children of this age, combined with increased fatigue, requires frequent shift activities. Therefore, as with younger children, we alternate tasks for quick wits with exercise. The game should not last longer than 40 minutes.
Logic, abstract thinking, speech, eye develop, which becomes the basis for complicating tasks. But all of them must be solvable, otherwise the child will lose all interest in the game.
The attention of younger students quickly dissipates, so the quest tasks should not be delayed in time, if necessary, it is worth recalling the essence of the test.

Children of this age are characterized by increased emotionality and susceptibility. Therefore, an adult should be on the alert to prevent conflicts and praise and support the baby in time.

Quest for children 10–13 years old

This age coincides with the onset of puberty, so hormonal background child's body unstable, which should be considered when choosing quest tests:

Due to increased fatigue, monotonous tasks, or those involving excessive physical activity.
Nervous system middle-aged participants are very sensitive. Therefore, it is worth avoiding excessive heat of passions, violent emotions, conflict situations.
The duration of the quest can be increased to an hour by including seven to eight stages.
Topics should be chosen taking into account the interests of the child.

The principles of organizing a quest at any age should be their safety, the absence of elements of horror or violence that traumatize the child's psyche, as well as mandatory supervision by adults.

The difference between quests for boys and girls

We will not open anything new by saying that the choice of games for boys and girls is noticeably different, it's all about psychological characteristics children. Representatives of the stronger sex usually prefer:

It should be noted that most of the quests are universal and combine tests and stages that will be equally interesting for both boys and girls.

Of course, you can take your child to a private quest room - a club where professional actors organize children's leisure. And for 3 - 5 thousand rubles to arrange a grandiose high-tech show for the company with optical illusions, light and sound effects. But free home quest will be no worse, because you created it with big love, putting the soul and warmth of the parental heart.

Now, when teambuilding is an obligatory component in the work of any organization, many interesting event programs have begun to appear, among which, of course, are quests. To play quests, you do not need to know any special rules. Simple ingenuity will suffice. Event companies usually organize quests, but this does not mean that you cannot prepare the quest yourself. This is a fairly doable task, you just have to work a little.

How to make a quest game yourself?

1. Consider the specifics of the process.

This item implies that you clearly define the goals and objectives, agree on the command staff and think over the game itself. So, for example, as goals you can choose:

Team building;
- acquaintance with the city;
- just entertainment;
- advertise the sponsor.

As for the number of participants in each team, you should not exceed the number of 10. It is best when these are groups of 5 people. But still, one should proceed from the scale of the quest, the larger it is, the more participants will have to be attracted.

And the last - the process of the game itself. There are plenty to choose from. You can play:
- time tracking;
- on the number of points;
- for the final passage.

2. Prepare tasks of different levels of complexity.

The main thing in the quest tasks is that they should be interesting. As for difficulty, try to choose the best option. Not overly complex, but not childish either. Before including tasks in the quest, "test" them on your friends or acquaintances, see how long they can solve the task. If the quest participants cannot solve the task for a long time, offer them hints, for each of which you can take points. You can have additional tasks in reserve, in case of hints, etc.

As for the tasks themselves, these can be:
- charades;
- puzzles;
- logical puzzles;
- historical;
- game (for example, "crocodile").

3. The route of the quest.

If the quest takes place in a city, then you can simply take a map of the city, choose the most interesting places and place positions with tasks on them. By the way, if you conduct a real theatrical quest, then you can invite real actors who will be dressed in the spirit of that time or events on which the idea of the quest is based. Distances between "points" should be chosen taking into account many factors. This is the age of the participants, and the way they move. If this is a walking quest, then it is better not to make the distance more than 1 km, but less than 50 m is also not the best option.

4. The prize fund of the quest.

Of course, prizes should be related to the whole team, and not be individual. In addition, prizes must be received by all teams without exception. Great gift for the winners, there could be a cup and a joint trip for the whole team to some place.

5. Informing all participants of the quest.

First, prepare a list that includes everything that the quest participants will need. It can be a compass, pen, paper, map, stopwatch, etc. Distribute this list to the participants.

Remind everyone that it is better to come to the quest in comfortable shoes to cover distances without problems. Themselves, just in case, make first-aid kits, where there will be a plaster, bandage, peroxide.
