How to come up with tasks for the quest. We open our own quest - a successful business plan

The room for the quest has some features.

No matter where

Since people purposefully go to the quest from advertising or from the site by appointment, it does not matter for the quest exactly where the entrance is located (like, say, to a store). If the entrance to it is from the yard or somewhere on the edge of the house (for example, in the basement / basement) - this is even good, as it allows you to choose the most profitable room for rent.

For two quests you will need about 100 sq. meters. For four 180-200 sq. meters, depending on the layout. It makes no sense to take a small room for one quest, since you will spend a lot of money, since in any case you need to make a waiting room and a leader's room, which can be used for several quests at once.

It is much more efficient to immediately invest in a room for several quests, even if you do one at first, thus you will have:

1. Firstly, saving the rental rate (a square meter will be cheaper), square meters (the total area will “work” for several quests at once).
2. Secondly, savings on personnel (fewer employees will be required than if the quests are in different places), savings on repairs (you won’t have to build the same thing twice).

Basements / basements with a minimum rental rate are very suitable. But keep in mind that a dead basement will require either large investments or a specific theme (horror movies). And children / family quests(yes, and in general all quests) require clean/good premises - it will be more pleasant for players to go to you.

Get better with rent

Rent is the only significant fixed expense, so it's important to keep it under control. Since opening the quest takes time, you can (and should) ask for a construction vacation. Also transfer part of the costs to the landlord (associated with pipes, toilets, ventilation, heating - that improves the premises, and will remain with the landlord forever)

It is more profitable to place several quests in one location, so you save on:

• rental rate per square meter;
• Arrangement of the area (repair);
• Square meters (one entrance group, toilet, host's room - all this for several quests);
• Salary: one person can simultaneously conduct several quests. During the day, one person is enough for several quests, the staff helps each other, while one collects, others meet customers and tell the legend.
• Other expenses: internet, registrar, cleaning - is divided into all quests.

Payback

On this moment, even if the area is large (for 3-5 quests), one unpromoted quest with an average profitability, with fierce competition, can recoup the current rental costs, so that the second quest will recoup salaries, advertising and operating expenses, and the subsequent ones will bring net profit. This is at the start of a business.

The area per quest is usually about 30-40 square meters. meters, and can be larger than 60-70 square meters. meters. The minimum quest is 25 sq. meters. If there is a scary but large room, you can implement a performance (quest with an actor from 150 sq. Meters), which can be opened quickly enough with a small investment, but this is a horror movie with an actor, due to this a wow effect is achieved.

A good option is a quest for two, it can be implemented on 10 sq. meters - this is a prison cell or an elevator, or "buried alive", or a laboratory (in the breaking bad style).

Of the new formats, it is now profitable to open Hide and Seek in the Dark. A minimum of financial investments is required, and the construction site can be laid in three to four weeks. The format is ideal for family visits, for children's birthdays, team building, large groups. Unlike a quest, it can be completed multiple times. Over the past few months, we have opened 9 hide-and-seek places and 9 more are under construction in Russia.

Some other features to look out for when looking for a space:

1. Room layout. It is necessary to use the space as efficiently as possible. If the toilet is located at the other end of the room, then keep in mind that there should be free access to it, which can “eat” the squares that could go on quests.
2. Ceiling height. Low ceilings will put pressure on you and will not allow you to build in additional engineering. High ceilings (3-4 sq. meters) require significant effort and funds to use.
3. Humidity, traces of flooding, incidents (especially in the basement). Sewerage is a very common problem, there should be a check valve that prevents the "breakthroughs" of the toilet. If it is not available, it must be supplied by the landlord.
4. Ability to work evenings, nights and weekends. If you have a basement, it is better to have non-residential premises above you, otherwise games in the evening may be limited. With neighbors "upstairs", the games must be completed before 10-12 pm.

The second stage is the choice of scenario

Your city affects the strategy for opening quests.

Main factors:

1. Population
2. Competitors

Depending on the population, we distinguish two types: millionaires and small cities. A separate conversation - the capital (Moscow and St. Petersburg).

We classify all cities with a population of less than 500 thousand as small cities and recommend starting with opening quests according to adapted scenarios. These scenarios are optimized to open with no experience in quests and even entrepreneurship, they open in the shortest possible time and involve minimal amount specialists (engineers / props), the cost of their implementation is from 350 thousand rubles. But in case of strong competition, you can immediately start with entourage and engineering quests.

The quest industry has been in the industry for three years now and the level of competition at the moment leaves almost no opportunity to open a quality escape room on your own. Previously, it was possible to make simple repairs, hide notes, keys and lock people up. Now everything has changed.

Creating a scenario and adapting it to reality takes time and significant investments. The value of the scenario tends to zero, since the main importance is the sets of items, engineering, the implementation of puzzles. It is on this component of the quest that most of the time and money is spent. It is here at the stage of opening the quest that the maximum value from the franchise. It will protect you from mistakes, help save time and money at every stage from the selection of premises to the opening of the quest.

The third stage - advertising and attracting customers

For many, at this stage, franchise assistance ends with the provision of a booking system on the site. We went further by creating a marketing agency for quests: the staff includes specialists in Yandex.Direct, Google Adwords, VKontakte targeting, a copywriter, an email specialist, and content specialists.

We understand that traffic is one of the most important stages, so a designer and a programmer are working on site conversions, we have written our own analytics system.

Since the majority of customers call rather than sign up on the site (up to 90% in the regions), we are the only ones who have introduced a single call center for all our partners, which provides daily online from morning to night, without holidays and weekends.

To improve the quality of processing applications, we had to write a separate one for processing applications with hint elements, since it is very difficult to remember 150 quests in 40 cities, but with such a system, information for each reservation, for each client, for each quest is presented conveniently to increase the number of entries .

The introduction of the call center shows an increase in bookings by 30% due to the quality of processing applications, scripts and the system for processing applications.

Types of advertising

We divide advertising into two categories: online advertising and offline in the city. We provide information about offline advertising in detail in the tutorial. But we take care of setting up and maintaining online advertising. This is contextual advertising in search engines: Yandex and Google. Social media: vkontakte (targeting), instagram (again, we will not list the rest, but there are much more sources of Internet traffic than only search networks).

If you organize a city quest in the old fashioned way, write pieces of paper with tasks that will need to be hidden at all points of the game route, then the disadvantages of this approach are that the clues you have hidden can be found and plucked by strangers, children, or simply carried away by the players of the leading team, after which other players will no longer be able to move along the game route. This is especially true when the quest involves city attractions and other crowded places. Of course, you can get out of the situation and put organizers at each game point, but this approach brings a lot of inconvenience.

Therefore, to conduct a city quest, it is convenient to use technical solutions, for example, by the DoctorQuest.rf service. The service allows the organizer to conduct a city quest of any complexity independently.
What functions does the DoctorQuest service take on when conducting city quests?

1. Organization of a quest for several teams (more than 150 players at the same time)
2. Submission of quest tasks for players
3. Checking the correctness of the players' answers
4. Organization of tooltips and other helper functions
5. Thematic design of the quest (photo, video, audio)
6. Quest statistics in real time
7. Easy editing of the quest at any time

So let's come up with and create our own city quest using the DoctorQuest.rf service, at the same time we will clearly see all the advantages of this service.

Terminology of city quests

Before proceeding to planning Assignments city ​​quest, a small list of terms used when creating a city quest.
Exercise – information about where to look for the answer and information about how to get the answer. usually given in encrypted form.
Place - game point in the game route of the quest.
An object - a monument, sculpture, tablet, building, in general, any object that contains the answer to the task.
Answer - word, code, number, symbol
Location - the place where the quest is located.
game route - all tasks of the quest following one after another according to the scenario.

Planning

To start, let's choose Location holding our city quest and outline Places For Assignments , so we get game route our city quest.

For a city quest, such Locations like parks, squares, embankments, historical sites, etc. In general, such Locations where are these Objects like monuments, sculptures, art objects, plaques, mosaics, interesting architecture, etc., all this is perfect for a city quest.

To select the one we want Locations conducting the quest, we will use the Yandex.map service and enter “monument” or “sculpture” into the search.

We will search Location with a high concentration of what we need Objects . As I already wrote, this is usually the city center, city parks, embankments, etc. In our case, I chose as Locations embankment of his city of Rostov-on-Don.

Gathering information about objects in a location

The next step is to collect detailed information O Locations in which we are going to conduct a quest and Objects in it to figure out how to use them in Assignments our city quest. To do this, we go to the chosen by us Location and take detailed photographs of everything that, in our opinion, can be used in the tasks of our city quest (monuments, sculptures, inscriptions, tablets, art objects, commemorative plaques, steps, architecture, mosaics, bas-reliefs, etc.)
Before taking pictures, Important point! The “save location” function must be enabled on your smartphone’s camera so that the shooting coordinates are saved in the photos. At the next stage of preparing the quest, this will greatly facilitate our work.
Let's go to our Location and start taking pictures. Here are some examples of my photos.

Sculpture "Rostovite", you can use the text of the poem.

Steps - you can use the sum of the steps.

One of 50 mooring poles. Alternatively, you can use the date on it.

Monument to Peter I, you can use the text.

Sculpture "Artist", you can use the text on the plate.

Tower - you can use the number of ledges.

Bust of Ushakov: text on the bust, or the number of balls with chains surrounding the sculpture.

Two stone lions at the entrance to the brewery: text on the shields.
All Objects I photograph from different angles. If there is text, numbers, signs, then I photograph these places separately. In total, I got about 400 photos.

Next, we copy all the photos from the phone to the computer and install the GeoSetter program, it displays the location of each image on the map.
Open the folder with photos in GeoSetter, select all photos and press the button "show file info on the map".

After that, all photos with reference to coordinates will be displayed on the map. This is what the embankment looks like with marked photos on it.

now we have detailed map our Locations with photographs tagged on it Objects , which we can use in our city quest. It's very convenient for planning. game route city ​​quest. Now we have to come up with Tasks using all the information we have collected.

Coming up with tasks

How to invent Tasks for a city quest? Everything is very simple, there is a simple scheme:

Exercise → Place, object → Answer

Players are given Exercise and they have to guess what place, object in question, then go to this Place or to this object and find Answer .

Samo Exercise should initially contain information about place, object to which the players need to go, and about Reply to be found.

For example, let's imagine Exercise for two stone lions with shields.

First let's define Place finding these stone lions. They are located at the intersection of Budyonnovsky Avenue and Embankment.

Now let's figure out what will be Answer for our assignment. It can be any word, numbers, code. For example, let's use the word Circenses from the shield of the second stone lion.

Now the text of our Tasks will look something like this.

“Go to the intersection of Budyonnovsky Avenue and the embankment, find two stone lions there and one of the words on the shield will be the answer”

But this task is given explicitly and it is not suitable for the quest. Encrypt information about Location in the form of a riddle. For example like this:

“Two lions with a shield are standing at the entrance! Take only one word from the shield! Budyonny will be able to tell where the lion with the shield wanted to dive"

Let's analyze our riddle into components, into information about To sweep , Object And Reply .

"Two lions with a shield are standing at the entrance!"–information about Object
"Take one word from the shield!"- information on how to get Answer
“Budyonny will be able to tell where the lion with the shield wanted to dive”- encrypted information about Location . “Budyonny” is Budyonnovsky Avenue, “I wanted to dive” - an indication of the water, i.e. embankment.

Players unravel Exercise , find Place And An object , referred to in Assignments , then find Answer .

Now let's look at a few more Assignments and ways of encrypting information in Assignments quest.

“If you entered a university by the age of 40, then buy a cake”.This task is solved as follows. Players on the map must find the intersection of the streets of 40 Years of Victory ( by the age of 40) and university ( entered the university), at the intersection of these streets it was necessary to find a pastry shop ( buy a cake, next to it it was necessary to find the code, which was Answer .

Note! If in Assignments nothing is said about how to get Answer , That Answer will be a digit, a number, a word, a code that can be found in Location or at Object .

What to do if in Location there is no intersection of streets and house numbers? In such cases, in Assignments you can indicate the direction relative to the place where the players are now or make a guess known to them An object . For example, here's a task: "East of you find this place, multiply the number of letters A in it by the number of letters O, add the number of letters E and subtract the number of letters H "K Assignment Attached was a photograph of a famous monument on which the text of the poem was carved.

As we see in this Assignments in unencrypted form An object (photo of the famous monument on the embankment) and the direction in which to look for it.

It also provides instructions on how to get Answer «… multiply the number of letters A by the number of letters O, add the number of letters E and subtract the number of letters H ". Finding An object and after performing the necessary calculations, the players get Answer on Exercise .

Here's another one Exercise in which all the information Place , An object , way to get Answer ) is given as a riddle (encrypted). “Behind Maxim there is a newspaper, the “newspaper” has “pages”, you count the “pages” and do not multiply by 2”. This task is solved as follows: there is a monument to Maxim Gorky on the embankment, right behind it is Gazetny Lane with a huge staircase.

«… the "newspaper" has "pages" you count the pages and do not multiply by 2» the stairs have great amount steps (pages), count the number of steps "... don't multiply by 2…” i.e., as you might guess, the opposite of multiplication is division. We divide by two the number of steps, thus, we get Answer .

Let me summarize a little.

Places And Objects can be given explicitly (photo, direct name) can be encrypted (riddles, anagrams, rebuses, poems, metaphors). Answer can be given explicitly (numbers, dates, symbols that can be found in Location or at Object ) can be encrypted (mathematical operations, riddles, etc.).

On average, the city quest takes about 1.5 - 2 hours of game time. At this time, you need to fit about 6 - 12 tasks, but, in principle, more is possible. Comfortable length game route - 5 - 7 km.

The economic side of city quests.

At the moment, the cost of creating any quest on our service costs 299 rubles. for 14 days of access. You can do 2-3 city quests per day. The average cost of participation of 1 player in the city quest is from 200 rubles. Up to 150 players can play the quest at the same time. The payback of using the DoctorQuest service from the first game you play.

The main advantage of business activities related to quest projects is a high level of profitability and good prospects for further development. The target audience is people under 35 who prefer to have an active and unconventional holiday. And there are many of them! How to open your own quest? What needs to be included in a business plan to be successful? Consider all the nuances of the organization of the quest.

Quest business analysis - assessment of opportunities

When starting to organize quests, it is necessary to take into account the influence of various factors:

• External - unchangeable. They can be seen as a threat to be avoided, or as an opportunity to be pursued immediately:

Possibilities	Threats
Market with low competition	Constant control of demand for one or another type of scenario for the timely replacement of an "obsolete" project
New ideas attract consumers	Sometimes it's hard to determine customer preferences
Relatively low start-up costs	Demand manifests itself in leaps and bounds, it depends on holidays, weekends, seasons, the start of the study session, as well as its end, and so on.
Free flight of creative thought, you can develop completely new ideas, there are almost no restrictions	It is possible that regulations will be introduced at the state level in relation to this business.
Free market entry	The level of purchasing power determines the demand for quests
Attractive ROI	Conducting potentially dangerous quests requires security measures for clients

• Internal - depending on the organizational approach, that is, on the businessman himself. There are some nuances here:

The sequence of actions in the implementation of the quest project consists of three main steps:

• Proper selection of premises.
• Script development.
• Accurately selected and arranged scenery.

Consumers are attracted by a fascinating plot and high-quality implementation of the conceived idea.

Organization of quests legally - necessary documents

The package of documents in the business in question is not the largest:

1. will be enough for legal work.
2. The choice of a simplified taxation system will greatly facilitate relations with the tax authorities.
3. It is necessary to have an agreement with the landlord.
4. You can avoid buying a cash register if the entrepreneur opens a bank account, that is, payment for services will be accepted by bank transfer.

Do not forget about the safety briefing, which ends with the signatures of the players. The execution of such a document means that customers are warned about possible risk factors. In this option, all responsibility is shifted to the quest participants, although it is recommended to avoid risky elements in the game.

The choice of the quest format determines the location of the room

It is important for a future businessman to choose the format of the quest and only after that look for a suitable room or do without it:

Quest type	Where is held	Concept	Note
Finding an exit - players need to go outside the room by solving a series of tasks	Rented rooms in the anti-cafe and so on. You can agree on mutually beneficial conditions to get rid of the cost of renting space	Appropriate equipment is required for holding intellectual competitions and immersing in an alternative reality	It is advisable to find a place with high traffic of people
city ​​quest	In any area of ​​the city or other settlement	A role-playing game in the spirit of a detective story, or with solving a mystery, searching for a villain, and the like. As an entourage, abandoned buildings, streets of city outskirts, landfills	Great dependence on weather conditions
Children's quest	Leased premises in shopping malls and other buildings in high traffic areas	Option for family entertainment or peer companies	Estimated age of participants 6-7 years and more
Quest with a field trip	Suitable for any terrain that satisfies the conditions of the game	It is carried out without special equipment with the participation of 2-4 people. All you need is costumes and a compelling storyline.	Differs in increased safety requirements

Thus, the work of the quest room is impossible without a decent room with a proper repair. It is also important to take into account good transport accessibility. Organization role playing, as a rule, is carried out in an anti-cafe where a large number of people come. This is a kind of playhouse. But city, search, field quests (for example, for a wedding celebration or corporate event) do not require a room.

Scenario for the quest - the rules for its creation

To begin with, a topic is selected. In this matter, they rely on the interests of the target audience. Children under 7 seven years old are interested in the adventures of fairy-tale heroes. Older players are attracted by the pirate theme, after 20 they like to unravel detective riddles and so on. It is important to study demand. What kind of computer games do young people like? What is important to translate into reality? A unique script is one of the most important elements for attracting customers.

The game mechanism can be changed, but there are unchanged components:

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. Can be kept in stock Additional tasks, for 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. Prize fund 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. An excellent gift for the winners can 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 in order to overcome distances without any problems. Themselves, just in case, make first-aid kits, where there will be a plaster, bandage, peroxide.

How to make the quest more fun?

In order for the participants to fully fit into the atmosphere of the game, collect their phones, tablets and everything that makes it possible to access the Internet. Only ingenuity, a map and a compass - and you will see how interesting and lively everything will go.

How to make a quest for children?

There are many ways to entertain children. However, it is much better if it all goes in the form interesting game. adventure quest in the form of a game - what you need for active kids. Here is a small example.

1. draw interesting map. Mark clues and directions on them. If you want to give the paper an "aging" effect, dip it in coffee and dry it. Burn the edges.

2. Hide the next clues, let the children look for them. Under branches, in the hollow of a tree, etc.

3 . Add tasks and pictures to each hint. These can be sports tasks, logical or team tasks. The main thing is that it should be interesting!

4. You can make original signs from improvised materials.

5. Some tasks can be written with "invisible" ink. To do this, write with milk or lemon ink. Children can see what is written if you highlight with a candle.

6. You can bury the bottle with tasks or hide it. Leave hints nearby.

7. The final task should be the treasure. There should be left gifts for all the children. Don't forget anyone! It can be balls, sweets, toys.

How to make a birthday quest?

A birthday quest is an individual gift. You need to proceed from what your loved one likes. If he is a fan of science fiction films, you can organize a quest in the style of a movie. For example, according to the plot of Bondiada or Terminator.

If the birthday boy is delighted with cartoons, you can organize this too. However, remember, if the birthday boy will go through the quest, you do not need to prepare too complicated tasks and make long distances between the waypoints. Still, it can be boring for one. It is much better to organize a fun quest in the company of friends who will help to cope with the tasks.

Quests for quests are very interesting and popular entertainment. Players are given various riddles and hints, with the help of which they move from one point of a given route to the next, receiving pleasant surprises for this.

Questions asked by the participants are often united by one topic, which is the subject of the quest. The main requirement for their compilation is diversity and unusualness. The degree of fun of the game depends on how difficult they will be. But when coming up with hints, it is also important not to go too far and not make them overly complicated.

Main classification

The simplest tasks for quests in terms of preparation are questions in notes. They are encrypted on leaves that participants need to find or earn at each stage of the competition. There are many varieties of them.

1. The name of the next point of movement is cut into separate letters, having correctly added them, the participants will find out where to go next.
2. The use of puzzles and charades. They can combine pictures, numbers, letters, which, if interpreted correctly, give clues about the further route of movement.
3. Riddles in logical series. For example: "Heat is born in the oven, but where does the cold come from?"
4. A variant in the best espionage traditions - tips written on paper using melted wax. To find out the answer, you need to paint over the leaf with colored pencils.
5. Accommodation along the entire route of the signs. But it does not have to be ordinary arrows at all. You can use flowers of a certain type or traces of an animal. In this form, tasks are often done for For example, you can tell them: "Follow in the footsteps of a lion cub and you will find a pleasant surprise."
6. The phrase that makes up the hint may contain mixed words. Players need to arrange them in the correct order. Only then will they know what to do next.
7. The assignment is written backwards and must be read correctly.
8. The hint is applied to the paper using lemon juice or milk. Together with the leaf, the participants are given a candle and a lighter, thanks to the heat from the fire of which the words should appear and direct the players to the next item.
9. Digital encryption of words is used. For example, instead of each letter, its serial number in the alphabet is written. The key to the puzzle must be guessed or won at one of the previous stages.
10. As a task for the quest in the room, you can use an item that is in the room in several copies, in one of which instructions are hidden regarding further actions. It can be a book, a box, a bedside table and the like.
11. Another interesting option is to use the hints recorded in the form. Their decoding is not an easy task, but it is very exciting and interesting.
12. Riddles can be encrypted using pictures, each of which symbolizes part of the name of the next destination.
13. Messages are also laid out with magnets on the refrigerator door.
14. Notes are hidden inside cookies, sweets and other products.

In order for the participants to successfully complete all stages of the competition and get the maximum amount of pleasure from it, the tips must be interesting and original. For the victory in each individual stage and the game as a whole, it is necessary to prepare prizes.

Since tasks for quests directly depend on the chosen topic of the competition, let's consider the most popular options for holding it.

You can get confused even within four walls

You don't have to go outside to play this game. The tasks for the quest indoors are no less exciting than outside. There are several varieties of this type of game.

1. Room escape. Already by the name itself it is clear where this competition is held. Its essence lies in the fact that participants are locked in an entire apartment or a separate room, and with the help of clues they must find the key to get out of it. This is a very unusual and interesting way to entertain guests who have come, for example, to celebrate a birthday.
2. Tasks for the quest in the office Great for surprising your boss. If the firm is small, each employee can come up with one puzzle for the boss and enjoy plenty of watching him rush around the building in search of a clue and his gift. The office is an ideal place to hide a lot of clues, solving which will be an unforgettable entertainment.
3. interesting examples of tasks for a quest in a shopping center. And if it is also large, you can organize a truly unforgettable game in it. Indeed, in large shopping complexes it is often possible to get lost, even just making purchases, and what can we say about looking for clues and solving puzzles! For example, you can give the participants a photo of a dress, and they will have to find out its price. But first you need to find a boutique that sells this particular model of clothing. Also, as an option, hide the leaflet with the next task in some kind of jacket, which will also need to be found from the photo. But in the case of this task, it will be necessary to warn the store staff in advance so that no one accidentally sells this item to anyone.

We turn on the brains to the fullest

Who said that intellectuals can only be measured by their knowledge? They can be no less nimble and active than others. If you have a few of these "bookworms" among your friends, make them get out of their textbook-cluttered rooms and unwind in the fresh air.

Arrange a quest for them in the style of TV shows "Who wants to be a millionaire?", "The smartest" and "What? Where? When?" Prepare encrypted messages-hints for knowledge of various facts from history, geography, physics, biology and any other sciences. Make sure that the answer to each question serves as a clue to the next destination.

You can also organize a similar test for your significant other on the anniversary of your relationship or on any other holiday. Only in this case, questions must be tied to dates, places and events from a joint life.

If your "victim" loves the series "The Big Bang Theory", connect its main character Sheldon Cooper to the case. Intricate notes, written in an abstruse style in the style of this eccentric physicist, will greatly amuse any connoisseur of intellectual humor and make him thoroughly rack his brains over clues.

For the little ones

Children's tasks for a quest game can be no less exciting and interesting than adults. To organize such a competition for your child and his friends, use your favorite cartoon characters or computer games. Write questions on the leaves with the image of a particular character.
