Any of them can be played on New Year’s Day, but for 2021, our authors have come up with special New Year’s games!
How to choose a quest for a New Year's corporate party
All the organizers are trying to “tighten up” their standard programs for the December holidays. Therefore, you can choose any of our quests.
- For example, all equipped quest rooms (with complete closure for your company and organization of a buffet table) will be decorated in a New Year’s style, and there will be more surprises than usual:
6 rooms on Tsvetnoy Boulevard (up to 40 people) 7 rooms on Novy Arbat (up to 40 people) 5 rooms on Shabolovskaya (up to 40 people, the most budget option)
- The second option is an away quest (held in a cafe or restaurant). Here, too, changes are made to the script so that players leave in a New Year's mood.
- There are also banquet quests (players sit in a banquet hall at tables, and assistants carry props and artifacts).
Professional services or independent organization
There are 2 options for organizing New Year’s quests for a corporate party:
Quest games are quite complex and require organizational skills.
- on your own, coming up with a script;
- leave all the hassle to the professionals.
Which option is better is decided by the team itself.
It’s worth noting right away that quest games are quite difficult to prepare and think through, requiring:
- organizational skills and at least a little experience in conducting such matters;
- an excellent and not boring idea for an entertaining event - people should not get bored during the game;
- a well-thought-out and logical script;
- thinking about emergency situations and ready-made solutions for each of them;
- pre-prepared hints in case the players reach a dead end and cannot further solve the problem on their own;
- design of the quest - especially when it will take place indoors.
If among the employees there are enthusiasts, activists and just people who want to take on the task of creating a script for a New Year's quest, then you may be tasked with developing the script on your own. Well, if the people in the team are not particularly eager to assume such responsibilities, then professional companies are at your service.
How is the New Year's quest different from all the others?
It's fun
Many quests are fun, since participants often have to transform into some heroes and communicate with colleagues in a new status. But for the New Year's quest, tasks were chosen that, first of all, are designed to create a festive mood in the office. More emotions, less complex puzzles. And there will be no complicated detective stories with horror murders. Interesting and kindly fun.
New Year's entourage
Even if your office is not decorated with Christmas trees and garlands, bright props, funny accessories and New Year's tinsel will be brought for the quest. You can take a lot of fun shots while playing.
These New Year's quests are a successful mixture of role-playing and interactive quests. Follow the links if you have no idea what will happen.
Quest for a corporate party - detailed review
There is no need to talk about the growing popularity of quests. Today, rare parties, holidays, corporate events and even weddings take place without this wonderful entertainment. In winter, story games are held right in the office. In the summer, people get more freedom to express their imagination and organize quests in a variety of places.
What is a quest?
They are also called “reality quests” so that no one confuses them with computer adventure toys. That is, these are games based on any life situations with a huge number of puzzles and challenges. Naturally, this kind of entertainment is best done as a team.
Most often, the plot is taken from famous films or books to make it easier for participants to grasp the essence.
Quest games can be played either without a competitive component, that is, the players simply have to solve a problem, or with a competitive component, when teams have to actively compete with each other.
Who are corporate quests suitable for?
Mainly for companies that employ people with out-of-the-box thinking who love creativity and action. The number of players can be very different, and the scenario must be selected individually for each group. The main thing is that all employees are active and easy-going - standing in a corner, thinking about the meaning of life, will not be possible here.
Where to do the quest?
Of course, where you intend to hold a corporate party. Another question is if you don’t know which place to choose for celebrating and organizing story games. eventspro is ready to help you with this problem.
But if it's summer...
Firstly, remember - you can always find a platform, for example, from our performers, using the application service.
This could be a tourist base, a huge estate, a sanatorium area, a dacha, a park, a forest, and even an area near your office, if there are trees, nice fountains and cozy gazebos.
Experienced professionals organize quests anywhere. And if you really want it, you will have luxurious decorations, realistic costumes and everything else. You can do everything so that during the corporate event you will briefly fall out of reality and will be in a completely different, amazing world of adventure.
If it's winter...
There are also many options. Unless they will be limited to certain premises. You can organize a quest for a corporate event in your own office, cafe, restaurant, country house, recreation center, hotel, sanatorium, and so on.
It is best if the area is large enough so that teams can move freely without restricting each other's movements.
All that remains is to decide and start preparing.
Why is it better to use the services of a professional?
Quest games are quite difficult to prepare and think through. If you decide to try your hand and organize everything yourself, at a minimum you will need the following:
- organizational skills and experience
- great idea for a quest
- well thought out script
- thinking through emergency situations and ready-made solutions for each of them
- prepared hints if the game participants start to “stalle”
- design of your quest (especially if it will take place indoors)
- a set of “artifacts” corresponding to your quest, for example: maps, notes, evidence, tips, and so on.
If you do not feel confident in solving at least a couple of these tasks, we advise you to use the experience of professionals.
Let's say you decide to organize a quest related to the Middle Ages. Specialists will offer you ready-made decorations for the game. After all, hardly anyone can argue with the fact that seeing an almost real medieval city or castle, cemetery, inn or church is much more interesting than using only your imagination.
In addition, experienced performers will be able to arrange a quest wherever you wish. And they will do it at the highest level, taking all the worries upon themselves.
Examples of quest situations
In relation to a corporate holiday, quests can and should have a corporate twist; let's sketch out a few examples of corporate quest themes.
Start example #1
Let's assume that each employee receives a letter from their superiors (by email). The text contains an important message: “Very important and secret corporate information has been stolen from our working servers. If it falls into the wrong hands, our company will be in serious trouble! We are asking employees who received the letter to join the search team and help resolve the situation. Come (date, address and time). It was here that our specialists managed to find the first traces of the kidnappers.”
Start example #2
The employees get to the camp site to start a simple “kebab” corporate party, when they suddenly realize that they are involved in the investigation of a strange crime.
Start example #3
The third quest may be related to an annual bonus for employees! Imagine that the boss reads out a solemn New Year's speech, where he thanks the employees for their excellent work, for exceeding the plan, for the coherence of the work, and so on. And among other things, he announces a New Year's bonus! The employees explode with happiness and joy, and then the boss begins to frantically grab his pockets and asks in bewilderment: “Where is the key to the safe?” And instead of a key, he finds a note in his pocket from the attacker who stole this key with the first clue that will help him find it...
All these examples are just an illustration of how a quest can make your holiday more interesting, richer, and give the team the most vivid emotions!
Types of quests for corporate events
What kinds of quests are there? This is perhaps the most important and frequently asked question among those interested. There are so many different types of scenarios. Today we will tell you about the types of quests and tasks for them.
Detective
Holy classic! Someone is being robbed, there are clues and clues, and the thief himself is one of the participants. We think, make guesses, use the method of deduction, and so on. Ultimately, we find the “villain” and come up with a funny but harmless punishment for him.
In general, the point of such a game is to find someone or something.
The most popular of these quests are “Find the criminal”, “Saw”, “Search for the missing expedition” and “The Godfather”.
Extreme quests
This is perfect for real adventurers! Here reality is so intertwined with the game that it becomes truly creepy. Remember the movie called "The Game"? You have to be in the shoes of one of the characters.
The best options for such games are “Trapped”, “Experiment” and “Killer Hotel”.
Historical quests
Complete immersion into an ancient era! Isn't it great? There will, of course, be little truth and accurate historical events here - it is, rather, something like a romantic, adventure novel. However, that’s the beauty of the game!
We invite you to pay attention to: “Olympic Passion” (about the ancient Greek gods), “Journey to the Middle Ages” and “Lost Treasures”.
Creative quests
The good thing about this kind of games is that, in addition to the memories of a fun corporate party, you will remember artistic creations created by a friendly team.
You can make your own film. Filming, takes, makeup, etc. Are you already interested?! Just don’t forget that this is not just entertainment – it’s also a quest. This means there must be secrets, riddles, a cunning plot and inexplicable things.
Adventure quests
It's constant action and amazing challenges. Employees must be ready for any challenge. No one should get confused or unexpectedly leave the game. Team spirit is the main weapon!
The following quests are very suitable: “Time Machine”, “Fort Boyard” and “Gold Rush”.
What types of tasks are there?
There are not so many of them, but you definitely need to know about this when preparing for a corporate event.
Games with the participation of specialists
In this case, not only the host, but also some of the quest characters will join you in the game. They will not only dress in beautiful themed outfits, but will also help you with your tasks, giving you tips.
Team games
Some quests are impossible to complete with a small number of participants. Basically, everything is arranged in such a way that each of the numerous players is an important link in one big chain. It also happens that you need to quickly go through to collect information, complete some part of a task, or literally instantly find clues. At the same time, the playing area is at least 70-80 m2. And the rule works here: together we are strong!
Logic quests
Such entertainment is full of puzzles, riddles and codes. If you have a close-knit and smart team, this is what you need! Just remember that in such games it is often important to identify a leader who is responsible for all your actions.
Now you are charged with all the necessary information and can safely begin to take action. Don’t forget that our performers, whom you can find using the application service, are always happy to help in organizing this or that event. Good luck!
Where can it be held and how much space is needed?
Conducting quests often requires a large area, but this is an anti-crisis proposal (we save on rent), so a scenario has been created for a game that can be held right in the office. It is better to use the largest rooms - meeting rooms and conference rooms. For a quest for 20-30 people, 50-60 sq.m. is enough.
For the quest, you will need to move the furniture apart so that there is some free space not occupied by tables.
The presenter brings all the props with him. There is no need to hide anything - all gaming materials are placed on the floor and tables. A universal New Year's quest for an office, cafe, club, country house.
Start of the quest
1. Take a cardboard box of appreciable size. 2. Place a letter from Santa Claus with the first quest task card in the envelope. 3. Pack the box with festive paper and tie it with a big, beautiful bow. 4. Place the prepared surprise gift in the most visible place so that it can be immediately discovered by your colleagues. Or ask the courier to deliver the gift box to your office at the required time (you can go straight to your corporate event). In the accompanying card write: “A gift to the entire company team. Open ONLY to everyone together. Your Grandfather Frost" As soon as the surprise is found, from that moment the New Year's quest to find a gift will begin. 5. When preparing the quest for the conduct, put all tasks in envelopes of bright colors and hide hiding places in such a way that participants cannot accidentally find them ahead of time.
How does the quest work?
The presenters arrive 30-40 minutes before the start of the game. For 30 players, for example, two presenters are enough. They prepare the area for the quest: they move tables and lay out props. The game begins at the appointed time. The presenters provide instructions, distribute players into teams, give out starting materials and read out legends.
After 10-15 minutes, the active part of the quest begins, during which each team will have to complete 5 task missions. At the end of the game, the results are summed up, each team receives prizes and souvenirs.
Set design

The plot of the quest in the office with the search for New Year's gifts is based on the idea of a quest game, which was arranged for all employees by a secret Santa Claus. Grandfather did not put gifts for all his colleagues under the Christmas tree, but decided to play a little with everyone.

All tasks are thought out in such a way that At the request of the quest organizer, any cards can be removed or their order can be changed. This opportunity will allow the organizer to construct his ideal quest using suitable hiding places.
Sports team building and quests - to unite a bright team
Team building is an integral part of any corporate activity. A team where there is understanding and a common view on the development of the company is more effective than experienced professionals who work separately. A team is, first of all, people with real emotions and experiences. Therefore, trainings should often be supported by active sports team building. "Event Consulting Service" offers a catalog of events with scenarios for specialists of all ages and fields of activity.
It is worth approaching the organization of company events wisely. Sports team building and quests strengthen team spirit and teach people not only to coexist, but also to successfully solve non-trivial problems.
Examples of corporate quests
For the New Year, it is possible to come up with many quest situations that can keep the team busy and captivated for several hours. This type of entertainment will certainly be remembered by employees for a long time.
Hidden gift search game
Perhaps the most common quest of all, which both professionals and participants themselves can offer today, coming up with all sorts of tasks.
And since we are having a corporate event, in this direction it is possible to use a narrower direction concerning the specifics of the work. Let’s imagine that each employee receives a message from management via email containing important information: A very important and secret document has been stolen from our corporate network, on which it depends whether the company can continue to work or not.
New Year's corporate quest is a great idea to celebrate this wonderful holiday.
When it falls into the wrong hands, our company will have serious problems! We kindly ask all employees who received the message to become a member of the search team and help understand the current situation. The gathering will take place - indicate the date, address and time of the event. It was in the indicated place that experts were able to determine traces of the document’s last presence.
This type of team quest game is played in an office, rented premises, or even at home. The main thing is to prepare the tasks and then the event will go off with a bang!
Advice! You shouldn’t come up with too many tasks for the participants of the quest game. Otherwise, they will simply become bored and uninteresting. On average, the duration of entertainment ranges from 1 to 2 hours. This is what you should count on when coming up with your own script!
Investigation
Employees are going to celebrate the New Year together in a rented cottage or apartment and, upon arriving at the place, they suddenly find traces of a crime and realize that they have become participants in something terrible. And to understand what happened, they need to solve a whole series of problems.
It is especially interesting to conduct quest games in nature. Naturally, all sorts of attributes and decorations will be required to create the most realistic environment.
Advice! It is better to dilute corporate quests with competitions at the table - then the participants will be able to refresh themselves and go back in search of the answer!
Examples of images for New Year's quests.
Looking for a prize
Is this how you want to celebrate this New Year?
Not really
Another interesting quest can be associated with an annual bonus for company employees. Let's imagine: a leader gets up from the table and is about to give a solemn speech. In it, he talks about the company’s achievements, thanks everyone for their quality work and notes that he would like to give a bonus to those who distinguished themselves in their work.
But in a flurry of delight, he suddenly grabs his pockets and reports that the key to the safe with the money has disappeared and instead he finds a note from the kidnappers in his pocket. In the note, the attacker gives a hint where to look for money. This is where all the fun begins, full of riddles and exciting competitions.
