Quest for children 10+ years old

The great wise magician decided to share a little of his treasures, but they will be rewarded only to those who can solve all his tricky riddles and puzzles, showing their ingenuity.

The quest participants find a box with a balloon. Having burst the balloon, players learn from the message that they have doomed themselves to adventures and trials that they will have to go through in order to get the magician's treasures. Why doomed? Because the secret must certainly be revealed, otherwise they will lose sleep and peace, never knowing what the cunning wizard hid. But our quest passers will definitely get down to business, cope and receive their reward!

What is searching for a gift using notes?

The participant is given (or he finds it himself) a message in which he is invited to participate in the quest, and in the end to find a cache with a gift. To do this, you have to consistently find and solve clues. Hints are cards with problems and various logic puzzles. Each such note encrypts the location of the next clue.

If you find yourself on this page, it means you want to organize a similar quest event for children and give them not just a holiday with eating sweets, but an interesting and fun pastime.

We offer a ready-made quest script for children that can be easily carried out at home.

Quest for girls - The most fashionable
Quest procedure :

The presenter greets all participants in the quest with these words: “I’m glad to see you here so beautiful and elegant. Today is Alina's holiday. She turns 10 years old. Our congratulations to the birthday girl, we sincerely wish you excellent mood, health, happiness and success! Today all of Alina’s friends will become participants in a wonderful holiday.”
Let's start the quest with preparing for the show. To do this, you will need to apply body painting to your face. The girls are divided into pairs and draw cute pictures on each other’s cheeks. To do this, use pencils (face painting).
Next, you need to prepare to go on the podium, but first the girls are divided into two teams. To avoid any fuss, the presenter helps. Let the girls choose for their team those who are more friends or communicate with whom.
The leader gives one and the other team a pair of high-heeled shoes. The girls will need to take turns walking in these shoes. The task is complicated by the fact that the participants must also walk with books on their heads, and they cannot be supported with their hands.
The next test gets even more difficult. Girls will need to dance to the music only with those body parts that are sung in the song. Moreover, the rest should be motionless (as far as possible). For the competition, you can use songs by the group Disco Accident – Legs, Gezweirdo “Move your hips”, etc.).
Then the girls are given a piece of paper and a pen. The presenter invites them to write about their secret secrets. And this is normal, because in the fashion world there is a lot of gossip and various secrets. The yellow press continually tries to reveal them to the general population. The presenter asks not to sign the leaflets so that they won’t guess who wrote it.
After the girls write their secrets, the presenter will read them out to all participants. The girls must find out whose secret is described on the piece of paper. If they find out, then the participant can admit that they are right; if there is no desire to admit, then they can remain silent.
The next design competition. It’s not for nothing that the quest is called “Supermodel”. The girls are divided into two teams. Each group is given paper, a lot of paper, from which they should make an outfit for the team representative. The paper can be of different colors, corrugated, colored. To fasten the outfit, you can use double-sided tape or a stapler. To make the outfit more original, you can use felt-tip pens to draw a design (print) on a dress or suit, depending on what the girls want to do. The outfit should stick to the model and not fall apart. It cannot be attached to girls' dresses.
When the clothes are ready, you should demonstrate them beautifully to the music. The presenter from each team of girls must describe the designer outfit and advertise it to other girls. Everything needs to be captured in photos and videos.
Next, the presenter will offer to go through “imaginary” stores in pursuit of accessories, with which you will then need to arrange a show.
The girls will take turns approaching the host and picking up bags with accessories. Moreover, do not keep the packages for yourself, but pass them on to the next girl who goes to get the package.
The last participants will have the largest number of accessory packages. The girls' task is to take turns dressing each other up with them blindfolded. Until the accessories decorate each participant in the quest. And no matter how funny they look, participants do not have the right to correct or move the accessory. Despite the fact that they were hung on girls with their eyes closed.
Now all that remains is for the girls to present themselves beautifully in front of the photographer’s cameras on the podium. Each participant must choose her own pose for photographs; improvisations and tips from the presenter and photographer are welcome here.

It remains to pay attention to the birthday girl. The presenter interviews the hero of the occasion. The photographer takes pictures of everything. After the birthday, photographs will be taken and distributed to all participants in the celebration.

Fourth stage

The presenter reads a message from Owl: “Dear participants! I see that you overcome all difficulties with ease and each time you become closer to my treasure. But this task is not so simple. You will have to try hard to get the next clue. I have a secret letter for you to find. But finding it is not enough, you also have to read it. But you can’t read it that easily. To do this, you will need one item that every home has, but which one you need to guess.”

The guys are looking for a secret letter in the refrigerator. When they find it, they must figure out for themselves that they can read it using a mirror. We find a mirror in the apartment and read the riddle. The answer to the riddle is a washing machine, which means the next clue is hidden in it. We go to the washing machine.

Preparation

First stage

We are preparing an envelope with the text of the first stage. We also print an image of an owl on the printer. You can copy it directly from here, saving it to your computer and printing it out. You also need to print out the hint text from the first stage. Then we glue the picture with the owl onto the cardboard, and on the other side the printed hint. We cut the cardboard and get a finished puzzle, which can be placed in an envelope along with the text of the assignment.

Second phase

For the second stage, we print out the alphabet with decoding of numbers and encrypted words.

Here are the words of the riddle:

And here is the transcript:

We also print the text of the assignment, wrap it all together in a package, and stick it under any chair with tape.

Third stage

For the third stage, you will need a thick bag or several bags in which we will wrap the task so that it does not get wet, because the clue will be in a kettle of water.

We hide pieces of paper with words and numbers in the bag - each one has one word and one number. First you need to think about what the children will count. These could be steps between floors, flower pots on all the windows in the apartment, books on a shelf, etc. Here you need to look at what you have at home that can be counted. We also select several household items or interior items and write their names on pieces of paper with numbers. On a piece of paper with the correct number we write the item in which the next clue is hidden. Let's take a refrigerator as an example.

Fourth stage

We place the printed message from the Owl in a visible place or attach it to the refrigerator with a magnet. We hide a secret letter in the refrigerator. To make it more interesting for children to search, hide it more securely, for example, in a jar of something. Then the participants will have to open all the banks. And yes, after the quest you will have to clean out the refrigerator)

The note hidden in the refrigerator looks like this:

And you can only read it with the help of a mirror, reflecting the text of the note in it. Children must figure this out for themselves.

Fifth stage

For the fifth stage, we prepare four pieces of paper with letters: Ш, К, А, Ф. We hide the letters in different parts of the washing machine - some in the drum, and some in the compartment for washing powder. You can also glue the letter to the back wall or mix it with your laundry.

We also print out the message from the Owl and put it on the typewriter or stick it with tape in a visible place.

Completion of the quest - hide the treasure in the closet. You can choose any closet available in the apartment, just do not hide the treasure deep on the shelf so that the children do not have to turn over the entire contents of the closet, and you will have to put things in order after the holiday.

Third stage

In the teapot, the children find a package with a note from the wise Owl.

The presenter reads a message to the participants:

“Dear children! At this stage, several clues await you at once, but only one of them is correct. The code will tell you which one it is. You will find out the code if you correctly count all the flowers on the windowsills in the apartment (all the steps, all the benches, all the books, etc.)”

Kids count and determine the correct number and the correct clue. If, as in our example, you took a refrigerator, then the children go to the refrigerator.
