Creative quests
Not only children love to play, but also adults.

You can place notes with messages throughout the apartment that will point the way. They can hide in the most unexpected places:
- in a newspaper - a word or sentence enclosed in a pen;
- inside the balloon - you can put a leaf there;
- in the paws of a soft toy;
- under a painting or family photo;
- under a plate of birthday cake.
As an assignment, there can be an interesting riddle, the answer to which will lead to the next step, a crossword puzzle, or even a puzzle. The first note can be left in a conspicuous place or personally handed to the birthday boy with congratulations so that he can start the game. Guests can also participate in the process and give certain tasks, for the completion of which you can get a hint.
Such entertainment does not require serious expenses, but all the participants will have a lot of fun.
If you don't want to celebrate in the apartment, you can contact one of the companies that organize quests. The professionals will give you the opportunity to experience a real adventure. The birthday boy with his friends finds himself in an unusual environment with atmospheric decor, plunges into another world where you need to complete a specific task. Players can be offered props or costumes to make the action feel even more realistic.

There are also quests for famous universes: "Harry Potter", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Avengers", "Star Wars" - the fans will surely appreciate it.
The adventure can take place in a certain location - a desert, a pirate ship, a starship, a scientist's laboratory, and some stories take you to the past or the future. There are also programs for children, where tasks are designed for the level of young players, and the plot can be associated with your favorite cartoons.
A professional quest usually takes 1-2 hours. It can also include a small tea party, organically inscribed in history.
