Quest tasks are a very interesting and popular entertainment. Players are given various riddles and clues, with the help of which they move from one point of a given route to the next, receiving pleasant surprises for this.
Questions asked to participants are often united by one topic that the quest is dedicated to. The main requirement for their composition is diversity and unusualness. The degree of fun of the game depends on how difficult they are. But when coming up with clues, it is also important not to go too far and not make them overly complex.
Main classification
The simplest tasks for quests in terms of level of preparation are questions in notes. They are encrypted on pieces of paper that participants need to find or earn at each stage of the competition. There are many varieties of them.
- The name of the next point of movement is cut into separate letters, which, when put together correctly, participants will know where to go next.
- Use of puzzles and charades. They can combine pictures, numbers, letters, which, if interpreted correctly, give clues about the further route of movement.
- Riddles in logical series. For example: “Heat comes from the oven, but where does the cold come from?”
- An option in the best spy traditions is tips written on paper using melted wax. To find out the answer, you need to color the leaf with colored pencils.
- Placement of signs along the entire route. But these do not necessarily have to be ordinary arrows. You can use flowers of a certain type or traces of an animal. Tasks are often done in this form for For example, you can tell them: “Follow in the footsteps of the lion cub and you will find a pleasant surprise.”
- The phrase that makes up the clue may contain mixed words. Players need to place them in the correct order. This is the only way they will know what to do next.
- The assignment is written backwards and must be read correctly.
- The hint is written on paper using lemon juice or milk. Along with the leaf, 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 point.
- Digital encryption of words is used. For example, instead of each letter its serial number in the alphabet is written. The clue must be guessed or won at one of the previous stages.
- As a task for an indoor quest, you can use an object located in the room in several copies, one of which contains hidden instructions regarding further actions. This could be a book, a box, a nightstand and the like.
- Another interesting option- using hints written in the form. Deciphering them is not an easy task, but it is very exciting and interesting.
- Riddles can be encrypted using pictures, each of which symbolizes part of the name of the next destination.
- Messages are also placed with magnets on the refrigerator door.
- Notes are hidden inside cookies, candies and other products.
For participants to successfully complete all stages of the competition and gain from this maximum amount fun, tips should be interesting and original. For victory in each individual stage and the game as a whole, you need to prepare prizes.
Since the tasks for quests directly depend on the chosen topic of the competition, we will consider the most popular options for conducting it.
You can get confused even within four walls
You don't have to go outside to play this game. The indoor quests are no less exciting than those outside. There are several varieties of this type of game.
- Escape from the room. Just by the name itself it is clear where this competition is held. Its essence is 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 very unusual and interesting way for entertaining guests who come, for example, to celebrate a birthday.
- Tasks for quests in the office Great for surprising your boss. If the company is small, each employee can come up with one puzzle for the boss and thoroughly enjoy watching him rush around the building in search of a solution and his gift. The office is an ideal place to hide a lot of clues, solving which will be an unforgettable entertainment.
- Interesting examples of tasks for quests in mall . And if it is also large, you can organize a truly unforgettable game in it. After all, in large shopping complexes you can often get lost, even just while shopping, and what can we say about looking for clues and solving puzzles! For example, you could give participants a photo of a dress and they would have to find out its price. But first you need to find a boutique that sells this particular model of clothing item. Also, as an option, hide the piece of paper with the next task in some jacket, which you will also need to find from the photo. But in the case of this task, you will need to warn the store staff in advance so that no one accidentally sells this item to anyone.
We turn on our 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, get them out of their textbook-strewn rooms and into the fresh air.
Arrange for them a quest in the style of the TV shows “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”, “The Smartest” and “What? Where? When?" Prepare encrypted hint messages 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 your next destination.
You can also organize a similar challenge for your significant other on the anniversary of your relationship or on any other occasion. Only in this case, questions must be tied to dates, places and events from life together.
If your "victim" loves the TV series "The Big Bang Theory", involve its main character Sheldon Cooper in the case. The confusing notes, written in an abstruse style in the style of this eccentric physicist, will greatly amuse any connoisseur of intellectual humor and will make him rack his brains thoroughly over the 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 or computer game characters. Write your questions on pieces of paper with a picture of a particular character. You can use images from one cartoon, organizing the entire quest in its style, or from several at once.
An excellent source of inspiration can be the computer game “Klondike”. Quests and tasks invented on its basis consist of searching for various artifacts related to the theme of the Wild West. For greater realism, children can be dressed up or fully dressed up in the best traditions of Westerns.
Participants can go in search of treasure, following the directions of the map. On it you will depict several streets closest to the house, designing it in the style of the Klondike game. Quests and tasks of this type involve searching for treasure, opening hiding places, asking friends for help, etc. This adventure will bring kids a lot of joy and pleasant gifts. Any holiday with such a game will become an unforgettable event in the life of every child.
“Klondike,” the quests and tasks in which are very exciting and varied, is far from the only option for an interesting game. A moving quiz in the style of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” would also be great. At the final destination of the journey, a man dressed as Jack Sparrow will be waiting for them, who will present the treasure to the winner.
Hiding the answers away
You can come up with a wide variety of interesting tasks for the quest. For example, use your old suitcase and hide the grand prize in it. And let the participants collect the code that will help open it, one by one, throughout the game.
To come up with tasks for quests in the apartment, use a deck of cards. Scratch directions for the next step on the end of it and give it a good shuffle. To make out the message, players will have to put the cards in the right order. Give them a hint that says something like “Hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds will reveal to you the secrets of the future.” This will let players know what cards they should be looking for and what order they should put them in.
We present gifts in an original way
To give an unusual gift to the birthday boy, you can also use a quest. Birthday tasks can be very different. For example, you can arrange a whole trip around the city in search of a present. The end point will be a dressing room with a bunch of boxes, in one of which the treasured souvenir will be hidden, and to find it, you will have to open them all.
You can also arrange an exciting quest around the city, the tasks of which will lead the birthday boy to a place where a surprise congratulatory party awaits him. Here's how you can start your journey. Leave a piece of cake in your friend’s room the night before with a note containing something like this: “Well, your birthday has come. Today everything will be for you, but to get the treats prepared, you will have to work hard. After all, nothing in this life comes easy. And even your holiday is no exception. To start, dress comfortably, eat some cake, and recharge your energy with some coffee. You’ll soon find out what to do next.”
If you are going to give the birthday boy some clothes or jewelry, you can leave the following message in the coffee can: “I hope you liked the cake and you finally woke up completely. If yes - well done! Now take something stylish with you and go in search of your happiness.” Even if there is no surprise among the things, you can simply hide a note in the closet with further instructions.
If you want to in an unusual way give a mobile phone as a birthday present, let the participant receive one number at each stage of the game. They will consist of a phone number, by calling which, in the end the birthday person will find his gift.
We fight the insidious numbers
Interesting quest tasks can be created using the most different ways numbers. These can be either the most basic tasks like counting the number of steps in a house, or sophisticated puzzles. You can encrypt the code in a magazine or book. Participants will first have to guess the name of the required publication, and then use the given page, line and word numbers to find a clue to the next action.
Quest tasks also often consist of unraveling the phone number of the person who received the key to the next step by email. To guess the treasured numbers, you need to find information on the Internet as quickly as possible about the height, age of stars or dates of famous and not so famous events. Such a puzzle might look like this.
A good example
“Are you finally here? I can’t even believe that I finally made it! I am sure that you will not go further, because this task is clearly not up to you. The fact is that the necessary code was sent to one person, whose name I will not say. You can only contact him by phone, but you won’t get his number either. Whether you like it or not, you will have to guess it. So the first number is Arnold Schwarzenegger's weight in grams, you need the second number. Next is the fourth number from the year of birth of Leonardo DiCaprio. Then - the second growth figure of his Wolf of Wall Street co-star. Renee Zellweger's birthday month. Then - the second half of Penelope Cruz's foot size. And the last number is the date when Jason Statham's girlfriend was born. May the great star expert Google help you!
Examples of tasks for a quest of this type can be encrypted as your heart desires, and use any wording that comes to your mind. Since completing this task requires the help of an Internet search engine, you can ask questions of any complexity. It is also not forbidden to mention stars in whose biographies your friend-player is not very strong. But to make it even more interesting for him to look for answers, you can ask for information about his idols.
Hollywood to the rescue!
Tasks for quests in the office and on the street can be organized in the style of any films and TV series of the group of people for whom the game is being played. You can come up with a myriad of riddle options.
For example, you can use the “Men in Black” theme in a very interesting way by starting the competition with the following note: “Greetings, Earthling! We, Agent K and Agent J, need your help. We have detected it coming but have not yet identified the planet from which it was sent. This could be a warning to people about an alien invasion of Earth, so they need to act very quickly. The message is encrypted. The best of our agents are struggling to decipher it, but they can’t do it without you. We have parts of the message, but without help we cannot reconstruct all its contents. Start searching the entire text immediately! You will be Agent M and will receive all the necessary data from Agent B. Don’t forget that the fate of the planet is in your hands! See you later!
A sea of topics
An interesting hunt for monsters can be organized during a quest in the style of the TV series “Supernatural”. For lovers of royal intrigue, the ideal option is the Game of Thrones competition. And for fans of The Walking Dead, an unforgettable surprise will be meeting the zombie apocalypse on the city streets.
“The Lord of the Rings”, “Harry Potter”, “Transformers”, “Fast and the Furious”, “Batman”... This list can be continued indefinitely, because any popular film is simply a storehouse of facts that can be used to write riddles. The same can be said about online entertainment. For example, the game “Klondike” is perfect for this purpose; its quests and tasks will make the holiday unforgettable.
A quest is a game consisting of several tasks (levels) united by one storyline. Each completed level provides a key (hint) to the next task or overall goal.
As a rule, there can be 7 - 10 such levels, but there may be fewer, or there may be more, depending on their complexity and the age of the players. The main thing is that the quest does not get boring for its participants, so its duration usually takes no more than 1.5 - 2 hours.
Advantages of the quest at home:
1) Easily accessible props - you can use everything you have in the house.
2) Minimum costs
3) You don't need to go anywhere.
4) One person or several teams can play, if the size of the room allows.
Step-by-step instructions "How to make a quest at home?"
Step 1. Come up with a plot for the quest at home: script and game mechanism
You can play around the holiday itself, as well as your favorite films or cartoons. Thus, you can congratulate the birthday person, make an offer, surprise and entertain guests, and conduct a ransom.
Particular attention should be paid to the spectacular finale. Possible options scenario ending:
Find a gift or ring;
Solve a crime, find a treasure, save a princess from a terrible dragon - any plot of your favorite fairy tales.
Open the room with the bride;
Save the birthday cake from being captured by monsters;
Sometimes the desired ending can lead to a plot idea.
Step 3. Prepare the necessary props
Following the script, you need to prepare in advance everything you need to carry it out, put the clues in their places, and hide the surprise for the ending.
You can send themed invitations to players in advance to not only invite them, but also set them up for the upcoming adventure.
In order not to get confused and not miss anything, it is better to lay out the clues in the order in which they are mentioned in the script. It is best to write down this sequence, as well as the correct answers.
Ready-made sets and scenarios
You can purchase ready-made quests with the necessary tasks, materials and detailed instructions on our website. All that remains is to carefully hide everything and enjoy the game.
Every year we give children gifts with riddles - it’s a whole quest, moving from one riddle to another, the child eventually finds a gift.
I came up with this myself when Yaroslav was little. There were no names like “quest” back then. I just wanted to entertain the child and surprise him. From a reading book she took riddles about everyday things - a refrigerator, a closet, shoes, a bathroom, laid out notes there, and handed the first one to him. There was delight - it’s impossible to describe!
And now this happens to us every year. My imagination for riddles is already exhausted. And this time I asked Yaroslav to find for my brother interesting riddles and puzzles.
Yaroslav tried and found riddles that I didn’t even know. I spent an hour on the Internet :)
I am sharing with you the finished quest design:
1. We hand the first note to the child. We had it in the “hands” of an inflatable Mickey Mouse
2. The unit trembles,
There is a thaw and a cold in it,
He is very happy at work
If you turn it off, it will sit in a puddle. ( Fridge)
3. There is a note in the refrigerator about closet
He stands in the corner against the wall.
Oh, he looks huge
But he is not punished at all.
Mom keeps things in it.
There is another note in the closet. You just need to hide it somewhere in a visible place, otherwise the closet is big, you could spend a day looking for the note
4. I am neither a sea nor a river,
I am not a lake, not a pond,
But like morning or evening -
People are all running towards me. ( Bath)
It’s interesting that I inserted a note into a vase with shells on the mirror, it was directly visible. But the children searched together and couldn’t find it! Apparently the mirror has magical properties make objects invisible.
5. And one more puzzle had to be solved in order to get to the treasured gift
Balcony
I tried to arrange the notes so that Gleb would have to run from one part of the apartment to the opposite: from the nursery to the kitchen, back to the nursery, to the bathroom, to the balcony.
And then Gleb asked me: “Mom, how do you manage to sneak in quietly and spread out all the notes without even waking me up?”
The answer suggests itself: “When you become a dad, you won’t be able to do anything like that” :)
Home quest - a way to give any gift in an original and fun way, turning it into an interesting, exciting game. Why this name? In general, a quest is a type of game with various codes and riddles that lead along a chain to the main prize.
Main idea: the surprise is hidden in a secluded place, and the player is given a certain message-riddle-instruction with a hint where to look for the next note. Solving all the riddles leads the player to the place where the gift is located. The simplest version of this entertainment is an indoor quest.

An original Happy Birthday greeting - an exciting adventure with finding a hidden gift using notes
Preparation
So, your task is to ensure that the player finds the gift in the right place after solving a series of riddles or completing mini-tasks. To do this you need:
- Decide on a secluded place where you will hide the gift.
- Make a chain of objects in your house that will lead to a hidden gift (the final point in it is the place where the gift will be). Hints and tasks can be hidden in the most different places- from washing machine and ovens to the mailbox in the entrance. The chain needs to be carefully thought out so that the items do not intersect along the way and do not lead to a gift ahead of time.
- Come up with and beautifully design messages-riddles-instructions.
- Put all the messages in their places. To avoid confusion, you can number them and create a layout diagram for yourself.
The optimal number of stages is from 6 to 10: a larger number can make the quest tedious, and a smaller number can make the quest too fleeting. But this, of course, general recommendation- perhaps you will get a wonderful quest consisting of 5 stages (if the tasks are complex) or, conversely, 15 stages.
The quest can be made even more enjoyable and exciting if there are several gifts along the way (let the tasks be accompanied, for example, by chocolates or small souvenirs).
Puzzles
Where can I get riddles? The easiest option is to find riddles on the Internet, but you can also compose them yourself, since they do not at all have to correspond to poetic canons. And if they contain humor or something individual, personal (for example, related to some funny incident), then it will certainly be very pleasant for the birthday boy! To make your task easier, we offer a selection of riddles to help you create an indoor quest:

Options for possible clues and places where they can be hidden, as well as interesting ideas on how to play with some objects
- balloon with a message inside
- soft toy with a note in its paws
- instead of a riddle - a set of letters from which you need to make a word
- drawing with a hint inside the candy
- a plate of cake with an “Eat Me!” sign attached, with a note underneath the treat
- text file or picture (photo) with a hint on a flash drive
- SMS message or email indicating what to do next
- a hint in the camera - a pre-taken photograph of the next item in your chain; the player needs to take the camera and view the photos
- a hint in the newspaper - the required word is highlighted with a marker (circled with a pen) (or we highlight the letters in different articles from which the player needs to make a word)
- At one stage, the player finds objects or pictures that play an important role in some work (fairy tale) - the player must guess what kind of work it is and find a book with it. The book contains the following hint.
- In a riddle, the key word may not be the word “picture” itself, but what is depicted on it. For example, in the picture there is a waterfall. Then, having guessed the riddle, the birthday boy will think about what the word “waterfall” means: a faucet in the bathroom, a shower, or something else. Then he guesses about the picture.
- Make up a crossword puzzle (preferably on some interesting and suitable topic), in which the highlighted letters are the key words of the place where the gift is hidden.
- The player finds the message and sees the following: the sheet depicts cellular telephone, from it there is an arrow to your pasted photo, from the photo of the shooter with the inscription “Code Word”, then again an arrow and some phrase (preferably it is very funny). This hint asks you to call you on the phone and tell you your password - in response, you also say a phrase (for example, a rhyme or a proverb), in which the next hint is encrypted.
- Take a photo of the room where you are going to hide the gift, then print the photo in A4 format. Next, put it in a transparent file and put a cross on this file in the place where the surprise will lie. Then cut the photo into several parts. These will be “puzzles” that the birthday boy needs to assemble. At the final point of the chain, place a blank A4 sheet, a glue stick and a transparent file with a cross - the birthday boy will need to glue the “puzzles” onto a sheet of paper, put it in the file and see where the “treasure” lies.
As you can see, there are a lot of options. When preparing a quest, you can use these examples or give free rein to your imagination and come up with something original. The main thing is to put love into the preparation, and the return will definitely please you!
Beginning of the game
A message with a description of the game and the first riddle can be:
- Give to the birthday boy personally
- Send as SMS message
- Place it in a visible place or attach it to the wall
- Deliver it through friends or neighbors, using a courier service - it all depends on your imagination and your capabilities
Approximate text of the message:
"Happy birthday! A gift has been prepared for you, but it is safely hidden. Complete all the tasks, and then you will find him. Good luck! »
And then you watch as the player enthusiastically solves your messages and finds a gift. Alternatively, you can invite friends to participate, and then the adventure will turn into the most a real holiday for all. In any case, such a surprise will definitely please the birthday boy, and the memory of this wonderful adventure will warm him for a long time!

This will be the last riddle. The birthday boy’s task is to guess what to do next. The fact is that he needs to look through the photographs and find among them an image of a microwave oven (you need to prepare in advance - take a photograph of the oven close-up). Your loved one will find your gift in it!
If you want to please the birthday boy with more interesting and intricate tasks or you don’t have the time and opportunity to find good ideas and arrange everything beautifully, we bring to your attention. Based on the titles of the articles, you can find a suitable quest game scenario for any age.
Hi all! Recently it was my husband’s birthday and I thought for a long time about what to give him. Then I found a gift and wanted to give it in an original way. I scoured the internet and found an option called a quest game. I liked the idea and started designing the quest. To begin with, I will say that I decided to place the gift itself in the freezer (in each envelope I put a letter from this word, so that at the end of all the tasks my husband would make up the word where the gift is located), but so that my husband could find it himself, I designed several for this place search steps with tasks. I'll tell you in more detail later. If anyone is interested, stay on the page.... At the end I will show you the gift itself and the materials I used.
So, let's begin...
I printed out an envelope and a form for the text of the letter
I glued the envelope together and wrote the letter by hand, because that’s the only way letters are written. I cut the letter itself up like a puzzle for my husband to assemble and read.
Inscription on the envelope:
From whom - From my beloved wife
From - From the heart
To: My beloved husband
Where - In person
The text of the letter itself (in case it comes in handy for someone) - My dear husband, on this day I want to wish you so much! Please always remain the most wonderful husband in the world! And I will do everything so that when you come home and leave for work in the morning, you are happy. I love you very much, my dear. Happy birthday, my wonderful husband!
“I prepared a gift for you, but I won’t give it to you. I suggest you take part in the quest game and find my surprise yourself!
Kohl to all my riddles
Can you find the answer
Then you will receive a gift,
Or rather, you will find it yourself!”
I threw the letter itself into the mailbox and then told my husband to pick up the mail, or I could hand it over personally or send him an SMS that he had received a letter.
My husband’s reaction - he opened the envelope, saw that the letter was out of order, smiled, folded everything and read it carefully with a smile, and then said, well, it’s necessary. How interesting you cut the letter.
And I put the first envelope in the washing machine.
1. Envelope in the washing machine
The task is to connect the picture by dots and guess where the next clue is.
We have a picture in our house, assembled a long time ago from a children's puzzle with a picture of a cat, on back side I secured the painting with a second envelope.
Husband's reaction - Oh, what a face, who? He drew it quickly, but didn’t immediately understand where it was, he said, we don’t have animals at home.
2. Envelope behind the painting
Task - You will always find a clue where the water splashes noisily (Answer - Bathroom)
In the bathroom, I secured 3 envelopes behind the mirror, so that one corner stuck out a little, in my opinion it was better this way.
My husband's reaction - he guessed quickly and stomped into the bathroom, saying that he caught a glimpse of something colored in the mirror :)
3. Envelope in the bathroom behind the mirror
Assignment - poem about a razor
The next envelope was in the compartment of his shaving cabinet.
The husband’s reaction is “I wonder if this is a hint?”
4. Envelope in the compartment with my husband’s shaving things
Assignment - a poem about a microwave
Husband's reaction - Oh, I hope I don't need to turn it on for the hint to warm up? :)
5. Envelope in the microwave
Task - Collect the picture in the correct order and on the reverse side assemble a word from the letters you see.
I printed out a picture of a car (a pencil drawing - since my printer is only black and white) and cut it into several parts, gluing letters to some - the word BALCONY
The next clue was attached to the balcony door.
My husband’s reaction - at first he didn’t understand what was required of him, after a few seconds he figured it out and quickly assembled the picture, turned over each fragment in turn and made up a word, of course, after thinking a little.
6. Envelope in the balcony door
The task is a riddle about a chair.
We have a stool on our balcony, I use it to hang things on ropes, my husband made them high and therefore the following envelope was attached to the seat of the chair from the inside.
My husband’s reaction: he didn’t immediately realize that he needed to look under the seat. He said that you can hide the envelope anywhere on the balcony.
7. Envelope under the chair seat
The task is to find Everest in the apartment.
My husband's reaction - he looked at me and asked where to go - is Everest a closet in the room or kitchen cabinets? Before I had time to answer, he pulled a chair and looked at the top of the closet in the room.
And sure enough, there was the next envelope.
8. Envelope on the closet
The last envelope. All the letters found for the word to find the gift itself were scattered in each task envelope and now they had to be combined into a word.
Of course, I did not place the letters in order, but in the word, for intrigue.
My husband put together the letters for about three minutes, I watched him, he was already impatient to receive the gift.
And finally, going up to the refrigerator, he said, “Well, there are three compartments in the freezer...”
And then I took out the wrapped gift.
The Regent Inox "Gotto" thermos mug is convenient for use at home, camping and traveling. Perfectly maintains the temperature of the drink. Universal, for hot and cold drinks. Protects hands from burns, the outer wall does not heat up. Compact, easy to use. The polished surface is easy to clean. Reliable and durable. Environmentally safe.
Volume 520 ml. An ordinary teaspoon is too small for such a mug, so I found a way out and bought an elongated cocktail spoon.
My husband was sooooo pleased. The mug is durable, just right for the workplace, because often ceramic mugs would break, and the poured tea would cool down before it was ready. The problem is now solved.
