Quest scenario for children at home - Finding a gift! Quests for children's birthday The most interesting quest for children 10 years old.

Quest for a boy - the name is quite conventional. This is my response to numerous requests from site visitors who complain about the rare boys’ collections of ideas. A mixed team of children aged 10-12 years old or even just girls can play.

I give!

I give this script to all active parents, older siblings, teachers and aspiring animators. By the way, it is also great for a family holiday in which adults and children participate.
I tried to save your time and prepared all the materials for the game. These are pictures, texts, QR codes, videos, etc. . (7 pictures, video, text file, folder with files).
If you would like to tell me kind words for the 20 hours of work on this script, please leave a comment on any article on this site. I really need this for inspiration...

Home quest for a 10-year-old boy’s birthday: script and comments

Any quest requires a lot of preparation. I hope you are ready for this. I tried to come up with tasks that use the simplest props. Without the participation of an adult leader, nothing will work out, so parents need to think carefully about all stages of the quest.

It’s hard to imagine 10-year-old children running around the apartment, so all movement around the apartment will be leisurely and thoughtful.

For tasks we will need two rooms - a room and a kitchen, for example. While the children are in one room, you are preparing the task in another.

The essence of the quest

As expected in a quest, you need to solve a whole chain of riddles and find the treasure. These could be tickets to a movie, a circus, or attractions for guests hidden in a book. If the gifts are different, come up with a box or briefcase with a combination lock. I give all the tasks as an example; you can easily change the text of the riddle and the place in which the next letter is hidden.

It’s good if you use various options for delivering information: sms, email, QR codes, video links. If this is not possible, just write notes on paper and come up with places in the apartment where you can hide the next message or hint (refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, photo frames, vases, shelves with books, upholstered furniture, etc.).

The quest leader sends an SMS from an unfamiliar number, hiding in another room.

For the presenter, I came up with a role that does not require a special costume. This is just a “keeper of an underground bunker”, and he can look like anything - even in jeans and a T-shirt. The presenter's remarks will always be in quotation marks after the blue word "The keeper".

Quest scenario

The keeper meets the children at the entrance to the closed room. The first two tasks will take place here. You can use stools or a small table.

The keeper:“I welcome you to the underground bunker, which is located at a depth of 150 meters and was built more than 50 years ago. Who and why needed to build housing underground is unknown! The bunker was opened by a librarian who found a strange book hidden under the library shelves. From him we all learned about the existence of a strange underground apartment, where an important envelope was kept among the things.

I am the keeper of the bunker. There were already a lot of curious people here. They came one by one and in groups. Everyone wanted to find the envelope, but in the bunker it is not so easy... The secret of the envelope is guarded by a strange ghost... It does not allow you to rummage through things, shake everything off the shelves and open cabinets in a row. Only the one who can pass all the tests and solve all the riddles will be able to find the hidden envelope!

I don't know all the secrets of this mysterious place! Only the Ghost can give you some hints! I advise you to carefully study his messages. Here’s your phone, the Ghost can send you SMS.”

Exercise 1

The keeper:“Before you get into the bunker, your wits need to be tested! Consider this your entrance ticket to the mystery room.

Here is an example made from matches. As you can see, the answer is incorrect. You need to rearrange one match so that you get the correct answer.”

If the children find it difficult, tell them that they need to move one match from the first number and put it on the last (turn 8 into 9, and turn zero into 8).

Task 2

The keeper:“Now let's test your memory! This is the international distress signal system. These figures are laid out on the ground from available materials so that the sign is visible from the air. Divide the icons among each other and try to remember their meaning in 2 minutes.

Why is this necessary? You already know about the ghost. One of these signs will be placed on the floor in the room. You will understand what needs to be done next..."

Children remember (it is better to divide 2-3 badges between players), the Guardian lets them into the room, having first taken the table. The letter F is laid out from clothes or some other items (food and water are needed). The host makes it clear that the Ghost invites them to the table. I deliberately take a short gastronomic break at the very beginning of the quest, since it is better for children to have a snack before the quest. It lasts an hour and a half, children may want to eat. Let it be a small buffet before the hot dishes. Salads, small canapés, fruits, juices.

Task 3

The children are still at the table, but have already eaten and are waiting for more.

The keeper:“The ghost sat you at this table for a reason. Look for the clue right here."

A QR code needs to be glued to one of the plates with adhesive tape, through which the children will receive the next task.

Task 4

For the text to appear, you need to open a special program on your smartphone (there are many of them) and point it at the black and white square. In a second, the following text will appear on the phone screen (I have already created it in the form of a code, print out “Task 4”): “Go to the next room. There are 5 glasses with numbers and a bottle with odorous liquid. Add 1 teaspoon to each glass. The hissing will give the desired clue number.”

The odorous liquid is vinegar. In the fourth glass there is soda, there will be a reaction, in all the rest there is flour, nothing will change.

If you can't use this code, just stick a note to the bottom of the plate.

Task 5

The keeper:“Go back to the bunker. Look for this number on the shelves!”

Answer: We put any multi-volume publication in a prominent place; children should see VOLUME 4. There they will find a new task.

The children open and leaf through the book, but find only a blank sheet of paper. The fact is that the letter is written with milk. It must be ironed with a hot iron for the message to appear. The iron and board can be placed in the hallway, make sure everything is safe.

The children receive a hint. This is SMS: “Iron”.

To make such a letter, simply draw with milk using a brush this large graphic image of a washing machine (A4 format), dry it, fold it and hide it in a book.

Task 6

The children go to the washing machine and find paper with strange symbols. You need to carefully examine the picture and insert the missing icons.

Answer: These are simply the numbers from 1 to 7, written normally and in mirror image along the vertical axis. You just need to add the numbers 2, 3 and 5, 6.

The task is very difficult, the Ghost can help and send an SMS: “Count out loud from one to seven.”

Task 7

As soon as the children complete the task, a new message arrives on the phone: “Look for paints.” Somewhere you should already have jars of paints (red, blue and yellow gouache) and a spare piece of paper, which will be a palette, prepared.

On the coloring book the task: “Color the balls orange, brown, purple and green” (print “Task 7”)

Children must mix the colors correctly. Green is blue and yellow. Orange - red and yellow. Purple - red and blue. Brown is all three colors together.

The finished drawing is given to the Guardian.

Task 8

The keeper:“Yes, you completed the task, I will leave the drawing on the cabinet so that the ghost can see the correct answer. While you were drawing, the Ghost left a video message for you!”

Bring your children to the computer or open the link on your tablet. The video can be viewed at the link: https://youtu.be/FMGQJbF680A. If there is no Internet, use the entry from the assignment folder, it is there too.

There the Ghost says the following text: “You have already come a long way... But I’m so sad... I love tongue twisters. I love it very much! Take turns climbing onto a chair and reading the tongue twisters for me. Expressive. And dress up so I can really have fun. Only then will I allow you to continue your search for the important envelope.”

Children read tongue twisters. You can give out all sorts of funny ears, noses, and wigs. I recommend filming it, you’ll laugh again later.

The tongue twisters themselves are in the same folder (task 7).

You can make the video yourself. I hung a garland with light bulbs on my 16-year-old daughter and covered her with a tablecloth. They filmed it in complete darkness and voiced it in a special program. My daughter hissed, and I read the text.

Task 9

The keeper pours out a lot of balls from a bag (you can use a 120-liter trash bag) : “This is for fun! But the Ghost gives these balls for a reason! One of them contains a hint!”

You need to prepare the balls in advance; don’t forget to put a piece of paper with the task in one. Children pop the balloons and find a task (it’s in the folder, print it out).

The names of famous composers will be written on a piece of paper made from a balloon. And only one of them is not a composer: Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Albinoni, Boccherini, Brahms, Vivaldi, Shishkin, Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Strauss.

The keeper:"You have found? Artist Shishkin? Great! Find his painting in the room."

I had a small framed reproduction of Shishkin’s painting “Rye” in my house. You can print any picture from the Internet and temporarily insert it into a photo frame. The frame needs to be disassembled; children are happy to bend the metal holders. Under the cardboard is a new task!

Task 10

This is the last task. When preparing for the quest, print out the square “Task 10” with a fragment of Pushkin’s poems from “The Tale of Tsar Soltan”, cut the square into polygons along the lines and hide it in a frame. Children must find and collect the text.

Use leading questions to help you draw a conclusion - you need to look for a book with poems and fairy tales by Pushkin. There is such a book in every home; we put an envelope with tickets to the cinema, circus or attractions in it.

After the quest there is a big feast!

Ideas from site readers

Most of the tips, additions and ideas are in the comments. Over the past couple of years, I have received many letters, the authors of which amaze me with their creativity. I decided to quote one of these letters here, there are too many useful things. Photos were also sent by Victoria Smirnova, many thanks to her!

Letter:
“In fact, competitions are probably not new to you, and most likely I took them from your website :), I looked everywhere, but only here everything turned out to be very accessible and interesting. It’s just that we are all so impressed by the quest, that’s why the review comes from the heart.

We had a “pirate island” theme, a 2-room apartment, children 9-10 years old.

She added the tasks Fishing, Without Hands, Rainbow (drawing on milk), the children themselves used the map to determine where to go next + gave them a description of the task (print it on striped notes, the numbers are not in order on purpose).

The task with matches “=8”, accordingly, further on the map we found the number 8 and determined the path “latrine” (we barely remembered what it was, since we have a combined bathroom, there is also a bathtub full of water with a floating bottle (Morse code - the word piranha), we catch all the fish (made using paper clips, spatulas and disposable plates) on which the numbers are indicated, adding them up, we get the number 13. We find this number on the map and see the task “Quicksand” . Instead of sand, there were 2 kg of seeds, you need to find exactly 13 coins and save them until the end of the quest, so that you can later buy back the torn “piece of the map” from the leading pirate.

The “International Distress Signal System” was shortened because There were only three children, so that each could remember three.
We remembered that the kitchen on a pirate ship is called the Galley, and from the map we determined what the next task was.

“No hands” - to get a QR code you need to empty plates filled with mm&s using straws, without helping with your hands. 10-12 pieces are enough for each person, I went too far and not all children have enough breath.

“Note with milk” - didn’t work with an iron! and above the candle it easily appeared, so the clue “Bonfire” on the map.

“Rainbow” - replaced painting with gouache, with painting in milk with food coloring and cotton swabs with a secret ingredient 🙂 (fairies) - and the main task was to figure out how to preserve unusual paintings for a long time (you guessed it yourself - take a photograph). On the map there is the task “Boom” - a note in balls, I put notes in all the balls, but only one was correct.

The first option is ideal for a small company, not exceeding 5 people. The cafe halls and open area are ideal for conducting quests for 10 children in Moscow and providing high level speakers.
It is important that there are a sufficient number of active relay races for primary and secondary school students, where they can release energy, run and compete. The main goals of the game are to develop attention and logic, acquire new knowledge, improve coordination and communication skills.
For children school age and teenagers, one of three types of adventures is suitable:

Escape room - the main task is to find a way out. During the passage stage, players find clues in non-standard ways that help them open the treasured door;
Performance is a format where the main roles are assigned to the participants, and secondary actors. As part of the game, you need to achieve your goal;
Sports genre - the event consists of performing tasks, 50% of which require training and the use of muscles.

When choosing one or another type, it is important to pay attention to sports training or intellectual development game participants. It should be fun, not a painful search for answers.

What's good about this type of entertainment?

Solving puzzles is a universal pastime. Adults, teenagers and even preschool children enthusiastically participate in it. For the younger generation, professional screenwriters carefully develop scripts taking into account the preferences of the birthday person, the number of guests and the desired theme.
The quest, as the central entertainment of a special event, allows you to:

Receive a flurry of indescribable emotions;
Take part in a real adventure;
Completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of another reality;
At the end, enjoy prizes and awards.

In addition, despite the fact that quests for children 10 years old in Moscow are developed taking into account age group, adults often take part in them with no less joy. If parents are busy, they can go away on business, leaving their offspring to the organizers. Throughout the game, the teams will be completely occupied with solving puzzles.
Adventure in the form of puzzles provides not only an unforgettable experience. During the process, each team member can show strengths and learn to work as a team.

Types of tasks

Tasks must be selected carefully. In the first place are the favorite films and books of the hero of the occasion. Based on them, a fun scenario is developed, within which one or more teams operate. The mechanics of the game are simple: a chain of clues leads to the end of the plot, but in order to get them, you must complete the task. Main types:

Puzzles;

Tasks using props;
Active actions.

The first type develops logic and teaches you to go beyond traditional thinking. Hints are encrypted in anagrams, crosswords and puzzles. Successful completion opens a code word that helps you move further along the plot.
The props open up a wide field for activity. It is possible that players will be asked to find a way to open the box or reveal an invisible inscription different ways. The clue you are looking for is hidden in a chest or on the wall until part of the surface is heated.
Active actions make up a significant part of the scenario according to which quests for 10 people are held in Moscow and the immediate Moscow region. Many questrooms in the city and large territories in the region help to implement complex tasks related to overcoming obstacle courses. In addition, this type of task includes handmade– it may take a whole item from parts and welding magic potion. Required Components You'll have to find it first.
Our professional scriptwriters will develop a program taking into account the wishes of parents and the interests of participants. We offer holding events in Moscow at specialized venues, as well as in cafeterias or outdoors. Bright props, devices for relay races, non-standard riddles will turn an ordinary birthday party into fairytale adventure, which you will want to experience again and again.

What is searching for a gift using notes?

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

This quest is intended for children 10-13 years old. Many people at this age love dinosaurs, so the science fiction story of my beloved Conan Doyle " lost World", based on which the game was created, will not disappoint them. I really hope that after the quest the children will run to read the book itself.

I can’t express with what pleasure I re-read the tattered PAPER book when I was preparing material for the script... I envied myself!

The essence of the quest

This is a quest that can be carried out in an apartment of any size, in a cafe, in a country house, in a classroom and outdoors. The props are the simplest, and there is no need to hide anything. Comfortable! .
There can be only two children (this is already two teams), 6, 8, 10, etc. If the area allows, the quest can be carried out for 30 people, divided into teams.
I have prepared worksheets with tasks (download them for free), but you can easily remove unnecessary ones and add your own challenges. On the first sheets the riddles are more complex, on the last sheets there are simply fun tasks for the children to have fun and “let off steam”, dance and make faces.
The goal of the quest is to gain access to the Lost World (the country of Maple White). This will be just a piece of paper with the appropriate note, but you can put gifts for the birthday person or all guests along with the certificate.

For completed tasks, teams receive points, which I propose to give out in the form of gummy worms (in Conan Doyle’s story there were poisonous Yarakaki snakes). We put the rewards for passing the tests in separate jars for each team. If the task is completed without a hint - 2 worms. If with a hint - 1 worm. If you didn't manage it, you can't get a worm.

At the end we give everyone the same gifts, but the winning team can be additionally rewarded with chocolate dinosaur eggs.

Where to begin?

My script uses the names of the main characters in the story. In principle, you can play it right away, but it will be better if you tell the essence of the book in at least a few words. I propose to sit the children in front of a computer screen and show footage from the old Soviet filmstrip “The Lost World.” This will take about 10 minutes. Everything is very short, but the game will go differently.

What should the presenter do?

1. Distribute to each team a sheet with the task, supporting materials and props.
2. Make sure that the children read and understand the task or read and explain the essence on their own.
3. Time yourself when necessary.
4. Monitor the progress of solving riddles and give prompt hints.
5. Kindly announce the winner of each challenge and place the gummy worms in different jars.
6. Monitor the progress of the game, help and cancel difficult tasks if the children do everything very slowly.

What tasks for teams look like

I tried to prepare everything so that you can simply download and use. As a reminder, you can edit each sheet to add or simplify tasks.

These are 8 sheets with a brief dossier and tasks from all the heroes and characters in Conan Doyle’s story “The Lost World”.

I give you 10 folders, which will contain:

1. The task sheet itself from one of the characters in the story (this is a text format, pictures are not visible when viewed, you need to download it for editing)
2. Auxiliary pictures, if they are needed for the quest
3. Filmstrip Part 1 and Part 2 (you can watch directly from my Yandex disk, using the arrow, you can download it to your computer)

Quest script and instructions for the leader

In the left column there is a brief description of the task for children (it is in full on the sheets that I provide for downloading).
In the right column are comments for the presenter. I’m not writing the riddle in detail - everything is in that wonderful folder.

introduction

Greetings, brave souls. I am a descendant of Professor Challenger, who proved to his contemporaries the existence of the Lost World. The laws of nature have lost their force in this place due to complete isolation from the outside world. This is an amazing plateau with dinosaurs, pterodactyls and ancient plants.

My great-grandfather carefully encrypted all the coordinates, and only a select few can gain access to the Lost World! Are you ready to take a risk?

If you can complete all these tasks, you will receive a certificate from me. Present it to our faithful assistant, who lives in the Amazon, who will show you the way to the Lost World.

Balloon

Children receive materials and instructions for making a ball with a basket for flying.

The presenter gives each team one helium balloon, thick threads, adhesive tape and a disposable cup. The winner is the team that did everything quickly and efficiently.

It took my daughter 4 minutes to make this ball. To prevent it from flying away, they put a dinosaur there.

Article text:

« Sensation! Sensation! Sensation! Unknown flying object!

An extraordinary event occurred in our city; eyewitnesses claim to have seen a UFO.

“It appeared from the sky like a bright flash of light, hung in the air for about ten minutes, and then began to get closer, the sound was such that my ears were blocked,” says eyewitness Nina Ivanovna, “and then it descended to the window of my neighbors, I was so scared ! It flashed purple and then green light. It made some strange sounds!”

Special services have already arrived at the scene of the incident.”

Everyone heads to the window between the radiators and finds the first piece of the puzzle and a piece of an article pinned to it.

Everyone heads to the place where warm clothes are stored. There is another piece of the puzzle there.

Puzzle example

By putting all the puzzles together, the children understand that this is a plan of the apartment where they are and one room is marked with a red arrow. They go there. They search her in an almost visible place; they need to hide a second envelope similar to the first. Opening it, they find a letter with invisible ink. It can lie under the iron, this will help children figure out how to read it. If they cannot guess, then you can send a hint via SMS.

The letter contains a word written in invisible ink, such as “closet,” where the next letter is hidden.

The children go to the closet, there is another letter with a charade. It needs to be solved.

The letter contains a charade (you can use one of the options):

Option 1:

« To figure out what I am

Tell me how to say “small” in English

Then add a big animal

Which the harness pulled.

Translate into Russian New

And you can lie down

But only you are in this verb

Try replacing L with P.”

Microwave

Option 2:

« Often placed next to a friend

And it seems they call

His name with an "O"

With the letter “U” is mine.”

Option 3.

“The first syllable is a preposition

The second two syllables are often pleasing to the eye

The latter is a pseudonym, used online

You combine three syllables and you’ll know where to find her.”

Windowsill.

They guess the charade and go to the place.

They find a box, underneath it there is a photo of one of the guests.

The children go to the “spy guest.” The spy guest says: “I will only talk to the chosen ones marked with the mark.” The birthday boy shows the mark and the envelope is given to him.

Text of the letter: " I came to an unusual house and saw different objects: black chairs, green tables, purple boxes. In the back room I found a long, shiny black piano. I was happy because I love Beethoven very much. There was also a cabinet with books by Chekhov, Tolstoy, Ostrovsky, Dostoevsky, Pushkin.”

Children read it. At this moment, the birthday boy receives an SMS on his phone with recommendations: “ To solve the encrypted message, you need to remove from the letter: all verbs, all prepositions, all pronouns, all proper names, cross out all nouns that are not divisible in sequence to the number 5.”

There remains one word there and the key is stored. In this text, this word “boxes” can be replaced with any other place where you hide the key.

The children find the key. They open the box. There is a book in it. In the book, on different pages in different words, the letters REFRIGERATOR are circled in pencil in the correct order.

The children go to the refrigerator; there is a bottle of children's champagne and a cake.

Tips for conducting the quest:

To prevent party guests from climbing into places you don’t want, you can put stickers with a “stop” sign on cabinets and drawers that are not participating in the quest, and warn guests in advance that this furniture is not participating in the game.
Some tasks may be difficult for children. For hints you can use mobile phone. Using a phone, it is convenient to send hints in the form of text messages during the quest, as well as take photos in advance of places where objects are hidden and send them if guests cannot find the object. The photo can be slightly processed in the editor if you want to complicate the hint.
