We have been doing home quests for many years and have long realized that in most cases women organize quests for their family and friends. As a rule, it is they, and not men, who take upon themselves the organization of leisure time for their relatives and friends.
But there is one holiday in the year on which men certainly cannot escape the above-mentioned responsibilities. Of course, it's International Women's Day. And the closer this day is, the more poor people are tormented by the question of what to give to their beloved girl, wife, friend, sister, mother... All types of gifts have long been tried and they want something new, original, memorable.
So, if you are a male representative who is faced with a problem called “what to give for March 8th” and if you are in despair, or almost in despair, we will come to your aid and suggest a solution! And the solution is very simple - arrange a quest! And then your goal will be achieved - you will present a gift in an original and memorable way. And, by the way, then you don’t have to worry about the gift itself, since its quality will no longer play a big role! Believe me, the quest will outshine any gift!
For those who don’t know, just in case, let’s repeat what a “home quest” is. Very often it is also called “searching for a gift using notes.” And let’s immediately make a reservation that the word “home” does not mean at all that the quest can only be carried out at home. This word rather suggests that such a quest can be done with your own hands and carried out anywhere. A quest is a set of puzzles, usually depicted on cards. Each puzzle is hidden in some place - in various household objects and places. The player finds the first puzzle, solves it and receives the answer, which is an indication of the location where the next puzzle is hidden. Thus, each of the tasks points to somewhere where another task is hidden. This creates a chain that will lead the player to the final cache. Of course, there is a gift hidden in the cache, especially if we are talking about March 8th.
We talk in detail about how to find tasks for the quest for March 8th, how to adapt them to the quest format, and how to format them in this article. It also describes the difficulties that may await the organizer. The main difficulty, of course, is the design of the cards. Here you need some skills - the ability to draw with your hands or on a computer. For the purposes of this article, we will assume that you have the opportunity to complete the assignments, maybe even with someone’s help. And then we will only talk about how to prepare tasks specifically for the holiday of March 8th.

Country quest for women and girls

It’s only been a month since you got a job at the interplanetary corporation Goosla, and you’re immediately on a business trip. Despite the fact that mentors and managers assured in unison: any issues are resolved remotely, from the central hub on Glisse. Anything except setting up new equipment for the natives from Jansenna, apparently. Local intelligent lizards move and speak four times slower than humans. Communicating through hyperchannels is a waste of time. Better to fly 60 light years away.
Behind us are 20 days of unbearable heat, high gravity and meeeeeeeeeeeeeees. As soon as things were done, without even hearing the invitation to the party, you jumped into your courier ship. Rather, to your native Gliss!
On the way back, success and failure replaced each other so many times that you lost count. Luck - the ship's AI was able to construct a return route in 12 jumps without refueling. Failure - the jump engine failed after the sixth movement. Luck - the ship was thrown near an Earth-type planet. Failure - this terrestrial planet turned out to be the old Earth itself, which people left a couple of centuries ago. Good luck - I managed to land next to the automatic repair station. Your onboard AI is already telling her where to launch the manipulators. Looks like you have an hour to spare to stretch your legs.
Scan drop zone
You scan the landing zone.
A couple of kilometers from the repair station is a small abandoned town. As expected, there are no signs of intelligent life around. Only automated advertising beacons try to get through AI anti-spam filters.

Set design
We suggest starting the quest in an original way with the help of a special postcard in which you need to place the first clue. The postcard format is A4, when finished it looks like this:

You ask to see a device for carrying things
“I know it’s hard to believe now, but once upon a time there were more people on Earth.” And the technology is far from being as compact as modern models. I believe miniaturization has made incredible progress on Glissa. I bet a specialist like you is covered from head to toe with tiny protective equipment.
You nod confidently. Let the robot think that way.
— People of the 21st century were faced with the task of preserving valuable equipment in densely populated cities. They came up with Bobby anti-theft backpacks. I just have one of these famous accessories - Bobby Hero Small. A compact option that was more suitable for girls than others.
The backpack has several degrees of protection. The zipper is hidden by the fold of the body and does not unfasten while the backpack is on the back. The body itself is cut-resistant, and the secret pockets are RFID protected. The volume of internal space is 11.5 liters. A special organizer is provided for equipment. To charge gadgets, there is an external USB port that connects to a portable power source inside.
The robot freezes for a second, as if listening to what is happening in its head. Then his voice begins to sound even more solemn. It seemed to you that this was basically impossible.
- Great news! I was just informed that I can offer you an additional 15% off this item using my personal promo code ROBOT803. In this case, the backpack will cost 6495 units!
And as a gift I can add a branded set of protective masks and reusable filters. Completely... completely... f... f... free!
You feel that the word “free” is given to the robot with great difficulty.
Consider the backpack and mask
— The organizer for equipment allows you to simultaneously place a laptop with a diagonal of up to 13.3 inches and a tablet with a diagonal of up to 10 inches.

You ask the robot what purpose it is here for.
For several seconds nothing happens. Then solemn music begins to play from the robot's speakers. The sound volume jumps up and down while the speaker system is being adjusted. Then the voice of the robot itself is heard.
- Welcome! I am a Class 9 robot traveling salesman. And I am proud to represent Earth's only remaining trade association - the Mad Robots. Our specialization is gadgets and advanced accessories of the 21st century for people and humanoids with similar physiology.
Be wary. Crazy robots?
You're trying to figure out if there are still a lot of crazy robots around.
- Oh, don't worry. We were evenly distributed around the planet so as not to miss a single landing. In addition, on the way here, I prudently mined the perimeter so that my colleagues could not interfere with us, and you would not be distracted by walking during the presentation.

You are outraged by such arbitrariness on the part of robots and would like to file a complaint.
- Of course, that's your right. Unfortunately, our complaints department is not located on Earth. During all this mass migration turmoil, he was completely transferred to one of the ships. According to my data, the ship has lost its course and has been moving away from the Earth for the last two centuries.

You ask the robot what is happening on the planet right now.
— I confess to you... For the last two centuries, after 100% migration of the entire population, trade has not been going so briskly. But this gives us the opportunity to work individually with each guest. After all, the only purpose for which people now visit Earth is the forced choice of a gift. You are very lucky: according to my calculations, engine failure will not detain you for long.
You're from Glissa, right? If the presentation is successful, you will have time to return home by 8 point 3. An important date in the traditions of the Earth. Annual women's holiday. I think this information will help you better choose a gift.
What does he know about the breakdown?
You wonder why the robot is so aware of your ship's breakdown.
- Oooh, anti-jump emitters are the pride of our trade association. They can reliably detain a guest on Earth for an hour. At the same time, the chance of irreversible damage to the ship is very small.
▶ This is a disgrace! Would you like to complain
▶ Agree that this marketing strategy is very effective

You ask to show you retro acoustics.
- This is a very funny piece of technology. Are you surprised by her appearance? It would surprise connoisseurs of the 21st century. Don't be fooled by the so-called retro style. In terms of its characteristics, it was quite consistent with its time.
This is the Alive Audio Journey wireless speaker, which connects via Bluetooth or wired. There are two speakers: a low-frequency speaker with a diameter of 3 inches, and a high-frequency speaker with a diameter of 1.5 inches. Thanks to this, the sound is clear and rich. The built-in battery is designed for 6–8 hours of operation.
In addition, the speaker can be used completely autonomously - for this purpose it has a slot for a memory card. Great option for picnics. Is your climate suitable for picnics in Glisse?
You make a vague hand gesture. It could be interpreted “for whom as.”
— I can offer you a 15% discount on this product using my personal promotional code ROBOT803. In this case, the column will cost you only 4241 units!

We distribute roles
Whoever doesn't become a queen will become a princess! Girls can pull pieces of paper from a hat (bag or box) with the name of the flower they got. They immediately read out: “I am Princess Gerbera.”
Now the hardest part... You need to find your coat of arms! The coats of arms can be printed on my Yandex Disk - these are photographs of flowers. Lay them out on the table so the girls can find the correct image.
These are the 4 A4 pages I have prepared, ready for printing (all that remains to be cut):
Print Here.
Princesses Rose and Tulip quickly find the symbols of their country, but Princesses Hortensia and Magnolia will most likely ask for help. That is OK! Let them remember!

You are returning to the ship.
The cabin opens, helpfully letting you in, and again converges overhead. The repairs have already been completed by this time. The on-board AI continues to broadcast the robot's speech.
— I couldn’t take all the goods with me! If you get bored on the way to Gliss, I advise you to take a look at the complete list of earthly gifts for Women's Day. I have already sent all the necessary data to your ship. You can get a 15% discount on these products using my personal promo code ROBOT803

Competitions for women on March 8 in the office with gifts
Competition "Sweet tooth"
The host shows the participants a dish with different sweets and asks them to remember which sweets are on the plate, the women turn away, the host removes or rearranges one item when the participants turn, the host asks what has changed. The participant who correctly guesses the disappeared or moved sweet receives it as a gift and leaves the game.
Gifts: sweets.
Competition "Coffeeman"
The presenter shows the composition and pictures of different types of coffee, such as cappuccino, latte, espresso. Participants must guess what kind of coffee it is. Participants who guess the coffee receive their favorite drink.
Number of participants: 5-10 people
Props: cards with images of coffee drinks.
Gifts: coffee.
Competition "Gift Auction"
The prepared gifts are weighed, then the participants are asked to determine the weight of the gift by eye; they can hold it in their hands; the participant who correctly names the weight receives a gift.
Living bouquet
Considering that we are celebrating flowers, I propose to slightly change the Sculptor game. There should always be an odd number of flowers in a bouquet, so the sculptor-florist sculpts an intricate bouquet from three participants. He straightens his arms, straightens his fingers, selects a tilt of his head. It should be funny and not very comfortable for them to stand.
Then the presenter exchanges one “flower” for the sculptor himself, choosing the one for whom the most uncomfortable pose was chosen. You can invite another florist, let him add a couple more “flowers” to the bouquet. In the end, everyone can be in the bouquet.
