Where is this game played?
There are a lot of options! This could be a recreation center, the territory of a sanatorium or an estate. If your office is located in an area with trees, cozy gazebos and fountains, great! There you can also conduct an interesting quest. However, we once ran around Sokolniki Park - it was also great. The main thing to remember is that final stage The games will include a buffet. Sometimes players need a place from which they can change for the formal part of the event. In this case, it is more convenient, of course, at a recreation center. The quest is more interesting if the area is large enough so that the teams can move around a little, moving around the map from point to point. If there are many teams participating in the game, they will not interfere with each other's challenges. The organizers will offer you options for holding the event, since over the years of work they have gained vast experience and ready-made cards areas of many popular sites. All you have to do is name a convenient direction, and then it’s a matter of technique, as they say. 
How many participants can there be?
10 is boring. And 20 too. It’s interesting to divide into teams when there are 50, 80, 100, 300 of you... There was a quest for 800 people. They will advise you on how to do better - make more teams or increase the number of players on each team. It depends on the plot you choose. 
Where does it usually start?
Option 1. For example, each employee receives a letter by mail from the manager, which may contain a message that “secret corporate information was stolen from work servers, the dissemination of which seriously threatens the future of the company. Management asks employees to join operational search work in a certain area where detectives managed to find traces of the kidnapper.” The date, place and time of the game are indicated. Or so... The letter comes from Robert Langton, the main character of the book “The Da Vinci Code”. He plans to come to Moscow to search ancient artifact, which was lost many years ago. Now Langton turns to your company’s employees for help in finding the cryptex...
Option 2. The employees simply come to the recreation center for a standard corporate barbecue party, but they soon realize that they are involved in the investigation of an unusual crime. There are other options that our managers will tell you about. Of course, in each case there will be detailed instructions, so you shouldn’t be afraid that you won’t know how to start the game. Each team receives a box with valuable instructions for passing the tests, a map, an assessment guide book and handouts, which are different in each topic. For example, in a detective story, you might be given fingerprints on a wine glass, a SIM card, a piece of newspaper, a glove, a pen, a pack of cigarettes, the remains of a burnt letter, etc.

Features and benefits of quests
A quest is an interactive entertainment during which players complete a series of logical tasks interconnected to reach the final goal.
The finish must be attractive to participants in order to act as a strong motivating factor.
In birthday quests, the birthday boy and his friends are looking for the main gift or birthday cake, but all participants should receive incentive prizes for their diligence and teamwork in passing the tests.
There is a huge variety of quests for teenagers. All events can be combined into several groups according to one or another criteria:

apartment, cafe, quest room, open space, etc.; - by number of participants

We invite an event agency to the holiday
In order not to “rack your brains” over preparing a quest for teenagers, you can contact an agency organizing holidays. Professional animators will offer interesting quests for teenagers with a colorful costume show, interesting story and rich props.
As a rule, event agencies have ready-made quests for teenagers, however, specialists can adapt the quest to suit your child’s hobbies and age characteristics, or even write an individual script. If animators conduct an away quest for teenagers on your territory, they must study it in advance and discuss all the details about the design and content of the game.
Even if you don’t need to tell the organizers any information, you need to meet with the future host of the celebration in advance. From the conversation it will become clear how a person relates to children, whether he understands child psychology, whether he knows how to find an approach to each child - this is what a good animator should be like. From reviews, photographs and videos you can see the quality of his acting and ability to captivate the participants.
Choosing a game venue
Choosing the territory for the quest is the first task in preparing the holiday.
Quests for children can be held both indoors and outdoors. It is important to compare the theme of the quest game scenario for teenagers with the location where it is held. For example, if you planned a quest “ Parallel Worlds”, then you will need a lot of space for the event - it provides for the presence of several tents depicting different eras.
More often away quests Children's parties are held in cafes, at home and outdoors. You can organize a party indoors with magical or pirate touches - something in the spirit of “Harry Potter”, “The Lord of the Rings” or “Pirates of the Caribbean”. On open area there is room to expand, so tasks for outdoor quests for teenagers should not only be intellectual, but also involve tests of agility, strength, speed, and endurance.
The choice of game territory also depends on the number of participants. It is unlikely that in a small apartment you can organize an exciting quest for a team of teenagers of 7-8 people. To find clues, you need to overcome obstacles, look for the right thing in several places and not bump into other clues. Please note that the number of stops for a quality quest is at least 6, so choose a spacious room with unexpected hiding places. 
If you arrange all the varieties of territory from smaller to larger area, you get the following picture:
- Apartment
for small quests with intellectual riddles and puzzles. Optimal quantity participants - 1-4. - Cafe
has more space and possibilities for decorations. Bright themed shows are appropriate here, often organized with the help of professional animators. - Open area
suitable for big company or several competing teams. Scenarios for interesting quests in nature for teenagers should contain many dynamic tasks using space (for example, holding relay races or competitions for accuracy).
Universal competitions for quests
Any quest is interesting due to its moderately complex, unusual and funny challenges that need to be completed to get a hint and advance to the next level. next level games. All quest tasks for teenagers are divided into three types:
- Puzzles
solving puzzles, crosswords, charades, anagrams, passing labyrinths, etc. - Using props
reveal invisible ink, open a lock or box, etc. - Active actions
assemble an artifact from parts, collect ingredients for a potion, overcome a physical obstacle, etc.
Below are examples of what kind of “shell” you can hide hints in and how to get them out of there:
- make up a clue word from cut or scattered letters;
- assemble a puzzle (picture or map);
- solve a rebus or charade (the answer will be a key word);
- decipher a coded word or message (a decoder diagram is attached to the task, where each letter is assigned a specific icon);

Event scenario
The presenter reads the letter to the children.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am Sherlock Holmes, I invite you to take a course at my detective school. Why you? Yes, because everyone talks about your insight, intelligence, dexterity and cunning.
I really need such helpers, but I have to make sure that you really are what they say you are.
To do this, pass my tests!
Host: Well, guys, it turns out that getting into the Sherlock Holmes school is not so easy. Are you ready to take the test? They should probably be attached to the letter (opens the envelope and takes out cards with tasks). And here are the tests themselves. So, let's begin!!!
1st card:
Task 1. “Try - don’t make a mistake.”
A good detective must be very attentive. Let's see how attentive you are!
The presenter asks the guys sitting in the hall:
- Can you now repeat three short phrases after me?
Nobody doubts this, of course. “Twice two is four,” says the presenter. Everyone confidently repeats this first phrase.
“Three times three is nine,” he says. There was no error again, everything was repeated.
“Well, you were wrong,” the presenter joyfully declares. The guys are perplexed: “Why?” The presenter explains: “Well, you were mistaken” - this was my third phrase. Nobody repeated it.” Well, if someone is very attentive and repeats it, then he gets a prize - candy
2nd card:
Task 2. “Plasticine dolls” Without mastering the secrets of conspiracy, you will not become a good intelligence officer. One of the components of conspiracy is the ability to transform.
During the task you will have to turn into a plasticine doll. The exercise consists of three stages.
At the first signal, you become a plasticine doll that was kept in a cold place. It is clear that the material has lost its plasticity, it is hard and cruel.
The second signal from the presenter marks the beginning of work with the dolls. It will change your poses, but don't forget that the frozen shape will make it more difficult and she will have to feel some resistance from the material!
Third signal - start last stage exercises. Imagine that in the room where our plasticine dolls are located, all the heating devices were turned on at the same time. What, did you feel feverish? That's right, dolls experience something similar too! What's happening to them? They begin to soften. As a result, the entire doll “drains” onto the floor and turns into some kind of shapeless mass.
3rd card:
Task 3. “Get into character” To establish the identity of the criminal, many detectives get used to his image. The same thing awaits you now. A description of a criminal is read to you, you listen carefully to the description, then you portray this criminal.
1. His gait could not be confused with any other, since he moved somehow spasmodically, and his head was always tilted somewhat to the right. And he also constantly sang: “And I love girls...”
2. He had a charming smile. He limped a little left leg. The weakness in his character was that he constantly unbuttoned and fastened the buttons on the collar of his shirt.
3. His gait could be called a cockroach step. One pant leg was rolled up above the knees. The first thing that caught your eye when meeting him was that he was shaking like a leaf and muttering something under his breath.
4. It was a tall man with his head held high and his chest wide. He always kept his hands in his pockets and only occasionally took out his left hand to scratch the back of his head. At the same time, his eyes darted around different sides, A right leg twitched occasionally.
4th Card:
Task 4. “Screen of transformations.”
For this task you will need to go on stage.
You must prove yourself in the ability to radically change your image.
Let's say an old man comes backstage and a little boy comes out. The cat disappears behind the scenes, and a mouse jumps out squeaking. The actress, shivering from the cold, hides behind the scenes, only to reappear a second later, exhausted from the heat.
5th card:
Task 5. “Chatterbox - a find for a spy”
The ability to keep one's mouth shut is one of the main qualities of a detective. Some people have it from birth, while others will have to develop it.
The leader, having placed chairs in a circle with his assistants, invites all the cadets to sit on them. A chair is also placed in the center of the circle - for the instructor. He conducts an “interrogation with passion,” asking questions to the listeners around him in such a way as to take them by surprise. The complexity of the situation lies in the fact that it is not the one to whom the question is addressed that must answer, but his neighbor, for example, on the right. In addition, questions cannot be answered with “yes” or “no,” and color names are prohibited.
Encouragement will be given to those who have never made a mistake and who have given accurate answers without delay.
Question options:
1.Is a square a rectangle?
2. Is the earth spherical?
3. Does the cow give clear milk?
4. Do you know how to cook scrambled eggs?
5. Do you prefer black or red currants?
6. Is it true that your name is Natalya?
7. Does the frog cackle?
8. Does the Volga flow into the Caspian Sea?
9. Is an apple a fruit?
10. Can you keep secrets?
6th card:
In the next two tasks you will have to show both detective and theatrical talents.
Task 6. “Receiving guests”
One of you will be the owner of the house. He has to receive guests. Who are these guests? This is where the problem lies. The fact is that when the owner walks out the door, you and I will determine what role each of the actors got. They can be anyone and anything: relatives of the owner of the apartment, his friends or enemies, service workers, presidents, inanimate objects, feelings, seasons... Our imagination here is limitless. Having determined the roles of the guests, we will invite the owner of the apartment to return to the room and ask, within, say, 5-10 minutes, to determine what kind of guests came to him today.
How to determine the image of a guest? Firstly, the actors playing the guests will have to come up with some kind of plastic image for their character, so the nature of the movements will already be some kind of clue. Also, consider using vocal expression. During the game, the host can ask the guests various questions - all together or separately, at his discretion. When answering questions, guests continue to play their roles and try to remain incognito. That is, the guests’ answers should be at the level of hints, clarifications, but not open “removing the mask.” If, within the allotted time, the host manages to identify the images of the guests, he emerges from the game as a winner.
7th card:
Task 7. “An incident at a mountain resort.”
You need to split into two teams. One team will stage a proposed crime, and the second team will have to solve it.
Crime scenario:
The owner of the sanatorium, Ekaterina, calls detective Ulyana on the phone.
Ekaterina: “Hello! Is this detective Ulyana? Hello! The owner of the sanatorium, Ekaterina, is speaking to you. Could you please come urgently?”
Ulyana approaches Ekaterina’s sanatorium and looks around.
Ulyana: “Hm, this place is secluded... and there are no traces!”
Ekaterina: “At night all my savings disappeared. One of the guests used mine sound sleep. The ski season is ending, and there are only three guests in the sanatorium.”
Ulyana: “Do they know anything about your habits?”
Ekaterina: “Only that I take sleeping pills at night.”
Ulyana: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter.”
Ulyana comes to the first guest, Anna, who has just woken up.
Ulyana: “Did you spend the night here?”
Anna: “Yes, I didn’t go out. It snowed all night, I slept peacefully.”
Ksenia, the second vacationer, has already made her own coffee and is having breakfast.
Ulyana: “What do you think about the disappearance?”
Ksenia: “I just found out about her from you. I slept soundly all night."
The third guest, Eva, was absent all night.
Ulyana: “Was there any suspicious noise at night?”
Eva: “I don’t know! I spent the night with friends in a neighboring village and returned only in the morning.”
Ulyana goes to the center of the hall.
Ulyana: “I already know who stole the money. And you?"
Answer: Eva stole the money. Otherwise, why would she need to lie that she had been out all night and had just returned? She is exposed in a lie by the untouched snow cover that Ulyana saw when approaching the sanatorium.
8th Card:
Task 8. “Alarm”
You need to quietly and unnoticed enter the bandits’ lair and pick up the mysterious package.”
The entrance to the lair is blocked by a special security system.
The security system is an ordinary underwear elastic, which I used to tighten the entrance, leaving small cells into which you can crawl (not without difficulty).
The package is at the end of the maze. The students' task is to get to it without touching the edge of the elastic band.
Children pass the last test, take the package, unwrap it and find it inside nice gifts(Diplomas for young detectives).
