February 23... March 8... Company birthday... Opening of a new office...
Do you need to hold an event in the office that will introduce and unite employees?
Teambuilding quest is one of the most convenient formats, for a corporate event.
Quest in the office: Description
The game goal of the participants is to go through a chain of stages/tests and reach the final point. In the version of the quest that is most often ordered from us, held in the office, the finale is the creation of an art object from parts or materials obtained during the completion of tasks. Participants receive tasks and tips via mailing list, by phone, or on the spot from game technicians. Or on our website.
Office quest. When to carry out
A quest in the office can be held as an independent bonding event. However, the most common reasons are:
- corporate holiday
- company anniversary
- moving to a new office
Tasks for quests in the office
Conventionally, we divide the entire range of tasks into several categories:
- “find something” - clue items, secret codes, information on the corporate website, etc.;
- “solve something” - any tasks that provide a resource (number, letter, coordinates);
- “do something” - perform some action that allows you to move forward or earn a hint (often these are creative tasks).
From this set, we each time form a matrix of stages for teams. Moreover, each team’s tasks are unique and practically never repeated. According to this schedule, game technicians “lead” the participants to the final stage.
Office quest: how it goes
To illustrate the sequence of episodes of the quest in the office, we present example one of our projects:
IN first part participants complete individual and team tasks, receiving elements of an art object and parts of instructions for assembling them. The tasks consist of riddles (logic, information about the company, colleagues, etc.), searching for “bookmarks” - hidden artifacts based on clues.
In second part In the departments of the company, participants perform team tasks necessary to receive instructions for further assembly, and the blocks of the future art object are assembled. Some tasks require collaboration with other departments.
Final part- and here the full creative potential of the employees and the ability to work together are revealed - the final assembly of the object takes place. And this culminating moment in which all employees will see a metaphor for teamwork.
Office quest. Legend and ending options
The final object can be anything: a construction set made of tubes, a three-dimensional figure made of cardboard, a painting. Or any other art object created by the participants.
In other legends, it is necessary to “find the antidote” within an hour. Leave the room. Or open the locks on the treasured chest, which contains something for a corporate buffet. We will definitely provide several options to choose from.

Quest in the office: order
An office quest is a working day with adventures without compromising the work itself. An exciting game in which the whole team will participate. The quest consists of stages: solve logical tasks, find “bookmarks” with codes, decipher the instructions. All actions are subject to an end-to-end legend. The adventure culminates with a final challenge and a corporate photo shoot. We have a lot of scenarios: for a small workspace and a spacious office. For teams of several people and for large teams. And of course the concept adapts to your business. Geography – Moscow and the region.
What is the point of a corporate quest in the office?
- This is convenient: you can play on a working day without being distracted for long from your main responsibilities;
- it’s economical: you can replace a New Year’s corporate party or professional holiday;
- it’s creative: you don’t need to rack your brains about what to give everyone on February 23, March 8, give one corporate gift in the form of a game that will be remembered;
- this is universal: the script is developed for any number of participants, you don’t need to go anywhere, and you don’t need to look for premises either. There is no need to prepare in any special way.
- it’s fashionable, which means your employees will be proud of their employer and will brag about the event on social networks.
If you cannot leave your office in Moscow or the region, but want a holiday, this is an offer for you. If you have a new team and need to take communication to another level, the quest format in the office is definitely suitable for you. If the company has an anniversary, but the budget is limited, there is a decent solution. And of course, the New Year's days, February and March are the ideal time for a corporate game within the walls of a business center.
Office holiday in the form of a quest in the office from Teamspirits
Intrigue, high spirits, a fresh look at the usual workspace, new emotions from communicating with familiar people - this is the effect of a corporate quest in the office. For a leader this means:
- increased loyalty;
- team spirit;
- positive attitude.
And all this in one office day, as they say, “without interruption from production.” Employees can receive assignments by mail. Perform them without compromising your responsibilities.

What is a "home quest"
A quest for girls is a great way to congratulate a birthday girl, give an original gift, or just have fun for no reason. The essence of the game is very simple: the player sequentially finds cards with riddles and tasks, guesses them one after another. The answer to each task indicates the object or place where the card with the next one is hidden. This “chain” ultimately leads to a hidden gift or surprise that you prepared for your birthday, for example, for your mother or wife. The tasks in the game are specially selected for women of all ages, starting from 14 years old, so the quest is suitable for both a fourteen-year-old girl and an adult woman. To carry out the quest, you just need to print out the tasks and hide them in the specified places in your house, apartment, cottage or even office.
Items and places
Each task is presented in two or three options with different answers so that you can choose the ones that suit you best. The following objects and places are involved in the scenario:

We offer several options for riddles, and you choose for yourself which ones suit you best. You can “dilute” the quest with riddles by inserting them between complex tasks.

An idea of quests that are suitable for conducting corporate events, our customers are often very blurry. Someone once played with their family in a cramped questroom, after which it is quite difficult to imagine how you can celebrate a holiday with your employees in such a closet. Someone who ran for several hours with a compass and map in his hands through mountainous terrain or drove hundreds of kilometers in a jeep (such quests also happen) declares with full confidence that the ladies from the accounting department will not be able to handle such a program.
There are many types of quests, and there is a suitable format for each group!
The cost of quests is from 1500 to 3500 rubles per participant. .
Outdoor interactive quests
Such games are suitable for small groups from 15 to 100 people. It can be held in an office, in a loft, in a cafe, in a tent, in a park.
The presenter brings with him all the necessary props and prepares the game locations. Participants are divided into teams, told the essence of the game, the mission, and given the first task. This quest lasts about 2 hours.
Quests in reality
This is a large-scale event in every sense: many participants, a truckload of props, dozens of instructors and actors. In such a game there are several hundred participants, but each team of 10-15 people is assigned a personal instructor, and at numerous game locations there are actors who help twist the plot and “charge” props for new participants.
The tasks are selected taking into account your wishes: the game is made up of active (sometimes sports) and intellectual blocks. What proportion these blocks will have is up to you to decide.
Quest rooms (5-6 game rooms + buffet room)
There are strictly up to 40 people here. Up to 30 is even more comfortable. You are coming to gaming complex with several equipped quest rooms. The props are built into the walls, and the essence of the game becomes clear after opening the first cache. Such rooms always have an unusual design, dim light, strange sounds and smells that are clues. It’s very interesting to play, since the rooms are stuffed with electronic and mechanical locks, and every little thing (even the wallpaper pattern) can be the key to solving the main mystery.
There is no need to talk about the growing popularity of quests. Today, rare parties, holidays, corporate events and even weddings take place without this wonderful entertainment. In winter, story games are held right in the office. In the summer, people get more freedom to express their imagination and organize quests in a variety of places.
What is a quest?
They are also called “reality quests” so that no one confuses them with computer adventure toys. That is, these are games based on any life situations with a huge number of puzzles and challenges. Naturally, this kind of entertainment is best done as a team.
Most often, the plot is taken from famous films or books to make it easier for participants to grasp the essence.
Quest games can be played either without a competitive component, that is, the players simply have to solve a problem, or with a competitive component, when teams have to actively compete with each other.
Who are corporate quests suitable for?
Mainly for companies that employ people with out-of-the-box thinking who love creativity and action. The number of players can be very different, and the scenario must be selected individually for each group. The main thing is that all employees are active and easy-going - standing in a corner, thinking about the meaning of life, will not be possible here.
Where to do the quest?
Of course, where you intend to hold a corporate party. Another question is if you don’t know which place to choose for celebrating and organizing story games. eventspro is ready to help you with this problem.
But if it's summer...
Firstly, remember - you can always find a platform, for example, from our performers, using the application service.
This could be a tourist base, a huge estate, a sanatorium area, a dacha, a park, a forest, and even an area near your office, if there are trees, nice fountains and cozy gazebos.
Experienced professionals organize quests anywhere. And if you really want it, you will have luxurious decorations, realistic costumes and everything else. You can do everything so that during the corporate party you will briefly fall out of reality and will be in a completely different, amazing world adventures.
If it's winter...
There are also many options. Unless they will be limited to certain premises. You can organize a quest for a corporate event in your office, cafe, restaurant, country house, recreation center, hotel, sanatorium and so on.
It is best if the area is large enough so that teams can move freely without restricting each other's movements.
All that remains is to decide and start preparing.
Why is it better to use the services of a professional?
Quest games are quite difficult to prepare and think through. If you decide to try your hand at organizing everything yourself, at a minimum you will need the following:
- organizational skills and experience
- great idea for a quest
- well thought out script
- thinking through emergency situations and ready-made solutions for each of them
- prepared hints if the game participants start to “stalle”
- design of your quest (especially if it will take place indoors)
- a set of “artifacts” corresponding to your quest, for example: maps, notes, evidence, tips, and so on.
If you do not feel confident in solving at least a couple of these tasks, we advise you to use the experience of professionals.
Let's say you decide to organize a quest related to the Middle Ages. Specialists will offer you ready-made decorations for the game. After all, hardly anyone can argue with the fact that seeing an almost real medieval city or castle, cemetery, inn or church is much more interesting than using only your imagination.

In addition, experienced performers will be able to arrange a quest wherever you wish. And they will do it on top level, taking all the worries upon yourself.
Examples of quest situations
In relation to a corporate holiday, quests can and should have a corporate twist; let's sketch out a few examples of corporate quest themes.
Start example #1
Suppose each employee receives a letter from his superiors (at email). The text contains an important message: “Very important and secret corporate information has been stolen from our working servers. If it falls into the wrong hands, our company will be in serious trouble! We are asking employees who received the letter to join the search team and help resolve the situation. Come (date, address and time). It was here that our specialists managed to find the first traces of the kidnappers.”
Start example #2
The employees get to the camp site to start a simple “kebab” corporate party, when they suddenly realize that they are involved in the investigation of a strange crime.
Start example #3
The third quest may be related to an annual bonus for employees! Imagine that the boss reads out a solemn New Year's speech, where he thanks the employees for their excellent work, for exceeding the plan, for the coherence of the work, and so on. And among other things, he announces a New Year's bonus! The employees explode with happiness and joy, and then the boss begins to frantically grab his pockets and asks in bewilderment: “Where is the key to the safe?” And instead of a key, he finds a note in his pocket from the attacker who stole this key with the first clue that will help him find it...
All these examples are just an illustration of how a quest can make your holiday more interesting, richer, and give the team the most vivid emotions!
Types of quests for corporate events
What kinds of quests are there? This is perhaps the most important and frequently asked question among those interested. There are so many different types of scenarios. Today we will tell you about the types of quests and tasks for them.

Detective
Holy classic! Someone is being robbed, there are clues and clues, and the thief himself is one of the participants. We think, make guesses, use the method of deduction, and so on. Ultimately, we find the “villain” and come up with a funny but harmless punishment for him.
In general, the point of such a game is to find someone or something.
The most popular of these quests are “Find the criminal”, “Saw”, “Search for the missing expedition” and “The Godfather”.
Extreme quests
This is perfect for real adventurers! Here reality is so intertwined with the game that it becomes truly creepy. Remember the movie called "The Game"? You have to be in the shoes of one of the characters.
The best options for such games are “Trapped”, “Experiment” and “Killer Hotel”.
Historical quests
Complete immersion into an ancient era! Isn't it great? There will, of course, be little truth and accurate historical events here - it is, rather, something like a romantic, adventure novel. However, that’s the beauty of the game!
We invite you to pay attention to: “Olympic Passion” (about the ancient Greek gods), “Journey to the Middle Ages” and “Lost Treasures”.
Creative quests
The good thing about this kind of games is that, in addition to the memories of a fun corporate party, you will remember artistic creations created by a friendly team.
You can make your own film. Filming, takes, makeup, etc. Are you already interested?! Just don’t forget that this is not just entertainment – it’s also a quest. This means there must be secrets, riddles, a cunning plot and inexplicable things.
Adventure quests
It's constant action and amazing challenges. Employees must be ready for any challenge. No one should get confused or unexpectedly leave the game. Team spirit– the main weapon!
The following quests are very suitable: “Time Machine”, “Fort Boyard” and “Gold Rush”.
What types of tasks are there?
There are not so many of them, but you definitely need to know about this when preparing for a corporate event.
Games with the participation of specialists
In this case, not only the presenter, but also some of the quest characters will join you in the game. They will not only dress in beautiful themed outfits, but will also help you with your tasks, giving you tips.
Team games
Some quests are impossible to complete with a small number of participants. Basically, everything is arranged in such a way that each of the numerous players is an important link in one big chain. It also happens that you need to quickly go through to collect information, complete some part of a task, or literally instantly find clues. At the same time, the playing area is at least 70-80 m2. And the rule works here: together we are strong!
Logic quests
Such entertainment is full of puzzles, riddles and codes. If you have a close-knit and smart team, this is what you need! Just don't forget that in similar games It is often important to identify a leader who is responsible for all your actions.
Now you are charged with all the necessary information and can safely begin to take action. Don’t forget that our performers, whom you can find using the application service, are always happy to help in organizing this or that event. Good luck!

Anya Golovacheva -
“A great time spent, and most importantly, the impressions remain long after the game). Some people want to take revenge after summing up the results =)) I was especially pleased with some of the “mean things” in “Magic Elections” introduced by the authors to spice up the plot. It seems that he calculated everything, deceived everyone, and then BAM... and not everything is so simple...”
Nastya Zhukova -
“I really liked the “Black Cat Cabaret” quest. Emotions are overwhelming: the organizers have cleverly wrapped up the plot, and the props have been thought out to the smallest detail. The effect of being in Paris at the end of the 19th century in an iconic cabaret was recreated in a matter of minutes. I can admit that after a few moments of the game, I was so immersed in the new reality that I completely forgot what century it is today, where we are and who I really am)))”
Olga Berlibo -
“The evening spent at the Black Cat cabaret left an incredible impression. It was interesting to watch how your colleagues changed before your eyes, getting used to the role! The organizing guys are just great! They came up with an exciting plot and all evening everyone was tormented by the question “Who killed Ernest?!” Even after the game ended, my colleagues and I discussed our roles and actions for a long time. Thank you for a great corporate event.”
Olesya Grytsy -
“I celebrated my birthday by playing a quest. The company was small, but it was incredibly interesting; we all played for the first time. Of course, at first we “got it”, and then we got involved, so much so that we discussed the events of the game all the way home and the whole next day, and we probably won’t forget for a long time, because everyone is delighted!)”
Yulia Evdokimova -
“For the second year we are organizing a quest-style birthday party for my daughter. This year they played the Black Cat Cabaret. There were about 20 guests, ages 11-14, everyone was delighted!!! There was a wonderful presenter. Two and a half hours flew by. And a week later we were at a classmate’s birthday party who really liked this format. They played "Magic Elections". Wonderful too! Thank you for the excellent organization of the process, for the included presenters, for the cool scripts and for your attentiveness and approach!”
Daria Golovina -
“We celebrated a corporate event and ordered the quest “Black Cat Cabaret”. It was an exciting and intriguing plot that required the application of intellectual effort, which made the game even more interesting, allowed our completely new team to unite, discard unnecessary formalities in communication and reveal the unexpected positive sides and qualities of our colleagues. We also had a very artistic and professional presenter. She was able to interest and involve everyone in the game, even those who were not ready.”
Elizaveta Samoilova -
I have already tried to systematize the types of quests. Today I’ll try to remember all the questions I heard from customers about the “moving quest in nature.”
Games that are popular today among children and adults (they are sometimes called “reality quests”, so as not to be confused with computer adventure games) are games based on real-life situations with a lot of puzzles and team challenges.

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! You can also spend there most interesting quest. However, we once ran around Sokolniki Park - it was also great. The main thing to remember is that at the final stage of the game there is 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 they have acquired vast experience and ready-made maps of the area of many popular venues. 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?

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 in search of an ancient artifact that 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 completing the tests, a map, a test guide book and handouts, which are different for each topic. For example, in detective story You may 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.

Alternatively, hide the leaf from next task in some kind of jacket, which will also need to be found 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 test 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.
A great source of inspiration can be 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.

Caribbean Sea" At the final destination of the journey, a man dressed up 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 prepared pleasures, 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 give a mobile phone as a birthday present in an unusual way, 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 tasks for a quest you can come up with numbers using numbers in a variety of ways. 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 countless number of riddle options.

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 alien invasion to Earth, so you 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!
