Birthday Quest: Looking for a Gift
The older a person is, the more difficult and troublesome the opportunity to surprise him becomes. Modern youth cannot be pleased with an ordinary gift. We bring to your attention a game of searching for hidden “treasure”. It can be carried out both in an ordinary apartment, house, and in nature or in any other place. You ask how to organize a quest at home? Easily! We give an example of the simplest option, for one person, lasting no more than 15 minutes. This option is well suited if you cannot be present at the event; having prepared in advance, you can leave the player to explore the home on their own. With a little effort, it can be upgraded into tasks for a group of people, extended by increasing the number of steps, and the like. Let us mention that a quest is a form of leisure that came to us from computer games. It involves the simultaneous connection of all players of one team to the interaction. And, as a rule, it is aimed at solving certain tasks set in advance that will lead the participants to their goal. You will need: • Paper; • Scissors; • Glue, tape; • Felt pens – pencils; • A little imagination; • Present.
Treasure map. An important point at the stage of planning and developing a scenario is thinking through the search route. It is most convenient at this stage to draw a plan of the house, or the area for which the game is designed. And place the key points (where the tips will be located) clockwise from the entrance, or the starting point of the route. Thus, you eliminate as much as possible the possibility of finding a gift quickly, because it is, in fact, hidden not far from the entrance, and the game takes the search in a completely different direction. There is an example in the photo.
To determine the number of key points, decide how long the quest should take, and how difficult one game will be (how much time it will take to complete it). For example, we created tasks for a total of 15 minutes, expecting that the games would be easy - 1-1.5 minutes per task - we have 11 points. And the tasks themselves consist only of guessing the next key place. You can make it more difficult by encrypting it with an anagram, a crossword, a rebus, and so on.
Selection of problems. This is where you need that flight of fantasy. We cut out stars for each task and began to come up with ideas. At the entrance, the first detailed hint was waiting for the birthday girl, with instructions on what to do and how to play.
#1 Look for a device that constantly sniffs dirty things. We are talking about a washing machine. It contains the following hint.
No. 2 Where is the coldest place in the apartment? This is a freezer. In the freezer there is an envelope with a cut image.
No. 3 Put the puzzle together.
After completing the task, you get a photo of the microwave oven.
And therein lies the next clue.
No. 4 “They ate from their plates, slept on their beds, and there a cup was broken and a spoon was broken.” This is from the tale of the three bears. We have just such heroes in our bedroom. And they have the next clue.
No. 5 Collect a word from the letters in the envelope.
"Keyboard".
There is a two-sided hint under the keyboard: No. 6 Side 1: Go from your tablet to the specified page on the Internet and look at the number of reviews.
No. 6 Side 2: Take book No.____ from the shelf above the laptop from left to right. (Enter the number of reviews)
When the player finds out the number of reviews, he will understand that he needs to take the 9th book.
And in it:
#7 Go through the long tunnel that connects the rooms outside.
Hints are posted on it. "He's waiting for you on the couch." In the room on the sofa the first gift and:
#8 That's not all. Go into the small room where the “treasures” are stored. This is a storage room.
No. 9 Look for the one who said, “You are the sweetest, the most ruddy and the whitest in the world.” This is a mirror. You need to look through all the mirrors and find:
No. 10 Dial __________ and listen to the answering machine. Congratulations and indication of the last place with a gift are recorded in advance on the answering machine.
The last gift may include a card with wishes.
Advice: Formulate tasks unambiguously so that the player does not form a false judgment and he does not declassify you ahead of time.
Good luck with your quests, take care of your family and friends, please and pamper them more often.
