Examples of a quest in a historic city. Interesting tasks for quests

14.01.2020

PROMO WHAT I LIKE ----------

On Saturday I played the city quest for the first time. About 150 people (10 teams) took part in the Heineken James Bond City Quest. The main motive of the game is the last movie 007: The Coordinates of Skyfall, because Heineken is one of the Bond's partners!

Registration of MI6 agents, distribution to teams and meeting with team leaders (specially trained people).

Until the game started, everyone was gaining strength.

Aaaaaa, can you have another beer?
- Go, boy, you still have four hours to search for Bond!

The quest has finally begun! Teams are given suitcases with tasks, tips, maps and flashlights. Our task is to find a microcircuit with agent data that fell into the hands of cybercriminals.

Still inside the iPad, which is loaded game program and an internet modem. First you need to figure out the content, enter the game program and get the first task.

So, we need three codes, which are disguised somewhere on the territory of the Flacon design plant, in the suitcase we find a map of the plant with marks of areas to search for.

The codes were hidden marker inscriptions. Add up the numbers, add the founding date of the Heineken brewery and enter the code. Great, the first task is completed, we get the second.

The game is played for a time during which the teams complete tasks. The next point is to go through the laser grid.

We pass the first time and get a battery with a code on the package.

We are instructed to use the money to get the next tip. There are 5 euros in the suitcase, the numbers, of course, are not a code, we decide to look for ultraviolet light in the nearest store. That's right, the code has been found!

The next task is on Suvorovskaya Square. We sit down in a bondomobile and rush through Saturday traffic jams to meet adventures.

Bond's messenger is waiting for us on the square. But we do not have time, before our eyes they kill her, we find in her an envelope with a letter in which the task is indicated - we need to find cards for playing poker, scattered throughout the area. In 10 minutes we find 17 pieces and go to the next task!

Place - 2nd Botkin passage, here local bandits can give us some information.

Alas, negotiations are impossible without a bottle of Heineken, we are looking for a store.

The bandits camped in an abandoned underground parking lot at the Botkin Hospital. The messenger warns of the danger inside.

The negotiations are successful, but we will receive the code only after we find three inscriptions. Let's start searching.

There is! We get a part of the microcircuit.

The next task is to call Bond. There is a SIM card in the suitcase, we insert it into the phone (out of all the participants, an ordinary SIM card came up to only one phone!). There is only a long code of numbers on the SIM card, we can't solve the phone! We are stupid for about 10 minutes, sorting through the numbers, throwing out unnecessary things, etc., but it turned out that our only phone did not show the entire code in full! : (We change the phone and solve the number, call Bond and listen to the next task - to find a green Jaguar with a code on its sides. The car is in constant motion in the area of \u200b\u200bSadovy and Tsvetnoy Boulevards.

We decide not to chase after her, but to get up and wait. We are lucky and in a few minutes he passes by!

We enter the code, the next task is to play poker in an underground casino.

An unfinished office building on Sadovy is waiting for us. It's very dangerous inside, open elevator shafts, holes on all floors, we go very carefully.

Find the necessary code on the wall and start playing poker.

We win the first time! Our trophy is the missing piece of the microcircuit. We connect it to the star, connect the battery - yes, everything works, we have the microcircuit!

The program on the iPad is updated in real time, you can see the ratings and the location of the teams. Wow, we come first! And someone else is only on task 6!

Joyful photo;)

It remains to scan the identity cards of the agents with the iPad and you can go to the base!

The final result of the game. We are first!!! But the organizers decide to award two teams, M and Q, for the first position in some other way.

A solemn moment - rewarding the winners of the Heineken James Bond City Quest with Samsonite suitcases with the emblem 007, inside which is a Heineken keg!

This is how cool quests are arranged. Everything was very fun, interesting and professional. Especially cool is the game program on the iPad. Now I'm waiting for the next quest! ;)

I post all the most efficient and interesting things on Twitter! You can follow by clicking the button below;)

Idea: Give the team a props with the code hidden in it, necessary to complete the level. Sometimes, instead of the code, the requesite contains some part of it, or an indication of the logic of the passage.
Implementation example:

By the way, the towel from the example is the so-called reusable props, it was also used as a map of one of the game locations, and its edges had different tastes, the taste itself was a cry for entering search codes from another level.
Another of the requesite pemers can be a team card used on one of the Crimean cups. In order to get the code that it contained, it was necessary to cool it below a certain temperature, which is a rather non-trivial task under the May Crimean sun.
Every organizer knows that good props can decorate any game.

11. Olympian

Idea: Connect the codes written at the level with each other, so that by finding two (or more) codes, you can get another one in a logical way.
Implementation example:

So, for example, if you found codes 1 and 2 - "FIRE1" and "SAND2", where the number in the answer corresponds to the code number, then code 5, most likely, will be the word "STEKLO5"

It is difficult to imagine a more or less serious game without an olympic jacket in our time. She is loved by both field and staff players, because everyone is busy with their own business - they are looking for, the second are thinking, and the final result depends on the overall well-coordinated work.
You can write a separate post about the varieties of the Olympic jacket, the imagination of the organizers is inexhaustible. Instead of the words of the parts of the sweatshirt written on the object, the players can be presented with pictures, or even installations of objects or even living people.

Example of code on a "live" sweatshirt:

Are born and original ideas combining an olympic jacket with Dull-search, Rally or Agency level.

12. Rally
Idea : Spread search codes in space, give commands an indication of their location and an indication of the logic of their input. Often this type of task is carried out using a map of the area.
Implementation example:

An example of a rally card collected from special playing cards, themselves playing cards also set the logic of its passage.
As with the Olympics, this type of level comes in many varieties.
For example, sometimes the team initially receives instructions on the location of not all codes at once, but only on the first one. Together with the first code, an indication is given to the next and so on until the last.
Of course, there are also hybrid options in which the rally is mixed with the Olympic jacket, or some other type of level.

13. Bureaucracy
Idea: To organize an analogue of a computer game of the "Quest" genre in reality.
Implementation example:

Each game location has the names of the quest "characters" and quest "items", the task of the players following the instructions of the "characters" to find certain "items"

The gameplay of the level resembles the process of collecting certificates and stamps that have to be collected when applying for a job, or, for example, obtaining a foreign passport, hence the name "Bureaucracy"
The instructions of the "characters" can be issued both through the game engine in response to the input of the necessary codes, and directly from living agents, in exchange for certain items.

Sometimes funny situations happen, a description of one of them through the eyes of the players:

At level 5 agents, each must have one final item. The item is given in exchange for an intermediate item from another agent. The result is 5 chains of code-item-item-item-final item. Items of the form "paper clip", "button", "ball", "card".
We have placed a player for each agent, coordinated by radio.
K (walkie-talkie): I'm from Nemo, what should I take from Nemo?
S: Quartermain says he needs a cleaver comb.
K (Nemo): What does it take to get a comb?
Nemo: I don't have a hairbrush.
K (walkie-talkie): Says he doesn't have a hairbrush.
S: RAS-CHES-KA! RAS-SHE-PU-LA!
K (Nemo): B ***, give me a hairbrush!
Nemo: I don't have a hairbrush!
K (Nemo): Well, I'll split it, the cleaver Quartermain needs!
Nemo: I don't have that.
K (walkie-talkie): He doesn't have this comb!
S: E *****, SPLITTING CLEANER! What the ****!?
S (to Quatermain): He says Nemo doesn't have a hairbrush, take another look.
Quartermain: What brush?
S: You just told me "Captain Nemo's cleaver"!
Quartermain: Calculating bullet speed! From Nemo I need a CALCULATION OF BULLET SPEED.

ZY By the way, I was the very same Nemo :)

14. Rebus
Idea: Replace standard game codes - puzzles
Implementation example:

Answer: Pinocchio

The puzzles themselves can be either printed on paper or drawn by hand with a marker.
Rebus is always popular with the authors, because these are not difficult logic tasks, which nevertheless add variety to the course of the game.

15. Puzzles
Idea: Cut something and let the team collect it.
Implementation example:

That awkward moment, when the field had already smoked logic, and the headquarters still doubted the version.
Answer: Comic shop (And yes, Shelodne Cooper plays city quest games too)

You can cut it and force it to collect, like the code itself, for example, a map of its location, or even the encrypted text itself.
One of the rather original implementations of the puzzle in my memory was when a sheet with the encrypted text, right in front of the players, was passed through a shredor, and the team had to reassemble the sheet from the remains using scotch tape to its original state.

16. Hot and cold
Idea: According to the clues about the remoteness of the location from the sources, determine the hidden object
Implementation example:
Implementation example:

Driving into the game system the names of the items located in the showcase, receive hints about their distance from the hidden object. For example, if a dog is hidden, then by entering the system the word "radio", the command will receive a hint - "cold", entering "wheel" - heat, "lamp" - "hot", and "chair" - "burns", and the word "dog" will close all codes and will take the command to the next level.

I must say that the very idea of \u200b\u200bsuch levels came from virtual games where a variety of photographs and pictures are used as the task itself. In reality, such levels are implemented, for example, on storefronts, or by similarly placing a group of points on the area map.

17. Projection
Idea: Make the team connect the found codes to honey with itself in three-dimensional space.
Implementation example:

As you can see, the construction of imaginary lines in space with the locations of the codes gives the letter "A"

Such levels can be implemented both on one object, and on many (in this case, the projection of lines is carried out on the terrain map)

18. Tech stages
Idea: Team players perform some kind of extreme level
Implementation example:

Here the organizers are limited only by their own imagination and the safety of the players. In Kharkov alone, those stages included parachute jumps from an airplane, and jumps on special systems from a bridge, and descent into underground bunkers using climbing equipment.
Such levels are well remembered, and contribute to the advertising of game projects, because everyone who has gone through such a game stage tells his friends how cool it was!

19. Boss Search
Idea: For a certain time, find more codes than rivals. For each code found, a bonus is given in the form of a bonus time, which is then subtracted from the total time the team completed the game. The codes themselves for drawing are similar to a stupid search.
Implementation example:

At the level of 300 codes, applied throughout the depicted object. Search time is 30 minutes. Each found code is a minute of bonus time

Such levels are very different from the dullness of the search in their dynamism. Their only drawback is the bonus time, many players believe that you need to play only for pure time

20. Logic tasks
Idea: Find the answer to the riddle given through the game engine, without performing any actions in reality
Implementation example:

Each company periodically faces the need to determine the format of a corporate event aimed at team building. There are a lot of options for choosing a concept: classroom teambuilding trainings, creative teambuilding. One of the interesting formats that we offer is a quest. In this article we will describe the possibilities of outdoor quests conducted in a corporate format.

What is a quest?

Let's immediately define the concepts. By a quest, we mean a game in which teams of participants move step by step towards the intended goal.

The logistics of the quest stages can be linear (i.e. tasks are issued gradually, one after another, in a chain). The game engine in this case is more often functional: information or an object obtained upon successful completion of the previous stage serves as a resource for the next one.

The second type of quest logistics is assault, when all tasks or riddles are issued at once. The game engine is often the so-called "dead": it is necessary to solve all problems in the allotted time, go through all the stages. This type is often used in indoor quests (in rooms).

Quest organization

When organizing quests, which become the basis for corporate events, of course, questions arise: the cost and what it depends on, how the preparation is going on and what additions may be.

Quest cost

The cost of the quest is made up of the number of participants (teams) - the number of game technicians who should be on the site, the idea and props used. For example, in a quest in Moscow, we can use the minimum number of game technicians who will remotely control the teams. Or take several agents out onto the streets for teams to look for. Or even negotiate with the staff of the establishments meeting along the route. And all this affects the cost of the project.

The basic cost of the quest starts from 20,000 rubles for a group of 10-15 people (2-3 teams). This amount includes tasks, the participation of 1 game technician and the necessary props for the final stage.

Quest preparation

Most of the quests are developed and, if carried out without significant adjustments, do not require a lot of preparation. But, as a rule, we lay 7-10 days for the coordination of all wishes with the customer, preparation and execution of documents.

Additional features

As with any corporate event, we are ready to organize everything necessary for the comfortable work of your employees:

adaptation of available quests to the specifics of your event;
development of an individual route or separate stages;
organization of transfer and meals for participants;
team insignia, T-shirts and prizes for the winners;
lease of the necessary additional resources up to providing teams with vehicles;
professional trainers to accompany teams (if required) or instructors at quest checkpoints;
photo and video filming.

Quest around the city

City quests popular for many years are moving into a corporate format. Quests around the city are already being conducted for companies with the participation of more than 200 employees.

How is the quest going around the city?

To organize a city quest, participants are divided into teams (preferably no more than 8 people). To manage all the logistics of team movements, a special quest engine is often created on the site. The task of this engine is to accept command responses and promptly issue the next tasks or prompts. In a simple version, assignments and prompts are issued through the usual e-mail, SMS, by phone, or even by game technicians (agents) located at key points of the quest.

Duration of the city quest - from 3 to 6 hours.

Participants move on foot or by car. In addition to the usual set of tasks used in, part of the stages in the city quest can be based on orientation using GPS, as well as on interaction with passers-by or residents of the area.

City quest in Moscow

We can arrange for historical and cultural attractions. Or come up with an individual game taking into account the elements of corporate culture. In some cases, using a quest, our client companies conduct training for their employees.

City quest abroad

As a rule, such quests are held as part of offsite conferences or meetings. For example, we conducted a quest for 80 participants of a conference of a bank, which is part of an auto holding in the popular city of Budva (Montenegro) for such events.

To organize such a quest, several of our developers travel to the venue in advance and plan the route and stages. After determining the key points of the quest, we "hang" tasks on them.

One of our games is partially built on a quest engine. However, it is more multifaceted in terms of the activities of the participants: in addition to passing the route, the participants work on projects of gambling businesses. In one of the projects carried out in Southeast Asia, our participants even had to interact with the local population.

As a rule, quests conducted abroad are built on acquaintance with the cultural component of the area (attractions, customs of residents, historical context). However, nothing prevents you from adding the specifics of your event to the quest.

Quest in nature

Outdoor quests can be organized not only in the city. Within the framework of an offsite corporate team-building event in nature, it would be quite appropriate to organize a quest. Quest in nature, usually mechanically, is no different from the urban one. Except, perhaps, for the absence or at least a decrease in the role of electronic means of communication between the participants and the organizers of the quest.

The most convenient area for conducting a quest in nature, of course, will be the territory of a country hotel or cafe. The main advantage of this option lies in the variety of objects that can become the locations of the quest. The second benefit is greater participant safety and convenience.

However, if the task is to hold an event with a minimum budget, you can find a convenient place in the parks of Moscow or the nearest Moscow region.

Quest options in nature:

quest orientation - during the quest the teams move along the guessed coordinates or map elements;
photo quest - a bright and fun program in which participants must record their achievements (for example, found objects or a word) using photographs;
bike quest - participants move along the route on bicycles (it is very good to carry out in Moscow parks that have a rental).

Duration of the quest in nature - from 2.5 to 5 hours.

Quest assignments are very interesting and popular entertainment. Players are given various riddles and hints, with the help of which they move from one point of a given route to the next, receiving pleasant surprises for this.

The questions asked to the participants are often united by one topic, which the quest is devoted to. The main requirement for their compilation is diversity and originality. The degree of fun of the game depends on how difficult they are. But when coming up with clues, it's also important not to go overboard or make them overly complex.

Main classification

The simplest tasks for quests in terms of preparation are questions in notes. They are encrypted on sheets that the 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, adding them correctly, the participants will know where to go next.
Using puzzles and charades. They can combine pictures, numbers, letters, which, if interpreted correctly, give hints about the further route of movement.
Riddles in logical rows. For example: "Heat is born in the oven, but where does the cold come from?"
An option in the best spy tradition is clues written on paper with melted wax. To find out the answer, you need to paint over a leaf with colored pencils.
Placement along the entire route of the signs. But these do not have to be regular arrows. You can use flowers of a certain type or animal footprints. In this form, tasks are often done for For example, you can tell them: "Follow in the footsteps of the lion cub and find a pleasant surprise."
Words can be mixed in the phrase of the hint. Players need to arrange 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 tip is applied to the paper using lemon juice or milk. Together with the leaflet, the participants are given a candle and a lighter, thanks to the heat from the fire of which the words should appear and guide the players to the next point.
Digital word ciphers are used. For example, instead of each letter, its ordinal number in the alphabet is written. The clue must be guessed or won at one of the previous stages.
As a task for a quest in the room, you can use an object that is in the room in several copies, one of which contains instructions on further actions. It can be a book, a box, a bedside table, and the like.
Another interesting option is to use hints written in the form Decoding 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 laid out with magnets on the refrigerator door.
Scrapbooks are hidden inside cookies, candy, and other foods.

So that the participants successfully pass all stages of the competition and receive from this maximum amount pleasure, tips should be interesting and original. For the victory in each separate stage and the game as a whole, it is necessary 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 holding it.

You can even get confused in four walls

You don't have to go outside to play this game. Indoor quest assignments are no less exciting than outside. There are several varieties of this type of game.

Escape from the room. The name itself makes it clear where this competition is held. Its essence lies in the fact that the participants are locked in an entire apartment or a separate room, and with the help of prompts they must find the key to get out of it. This is a very unusual and interesting way to entertain guests who have come, for example, to celebrate a birthday.
Quests for the quest in the office great for giving your boss a surprise. If the company is small, each employee can come up with one puzzle for the boss and enjoy a lot, watching him rush around the building in search of a clue and his gift. The office is the perfect place to hide a ton of clues, which will be an unforgettable experience to solve.
Interesting examples of tasks for the quest in the shopping center... And if it is also large, you can organize a truly unforgettable game in it. Indeed, in large shopping complexes you can often get lost, even just shopping, and what can we say about looking for clues and solving puzzles! For example, you can give the participants a photograph of the dress and they will have to find out its price. But first, you need to find a boutique that sells this particular model of the garment. Also, as an option, hide the leaf with the next task in some 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 thing to anyone.

We turn on our brains to the fullest

Who said that intellectuals can be measured only by their knowledge? They can be no less nimble and active than others. If there are several of these “bookworms” among your friends, make them get out of their rooms littered with textbooks and unwind in the fresh air.

Arrange for them a quest in the style of TV shows "Who wants to be a millionaire?", "The smartest" and "What? Where? When?" Prepare encrypted messages-hints on knowledge of various facts from history, geography, physics, biology and any other sciences. Make sure that the answer to each question is the key to your next destination.

You can also organize a similar test for your significant other on the anniversary of your relationship or any other occasion. Only in this case, questions must be tied to dates, places and events from life together.

If your "victim" loves the series "The Big Bang Theory", involve its main character Sheldon Cooper in the case. Intricate notes, written in an abstruse style in the style of this eccentric physicist, will greatly amuse any connoisseur of intellectual humor and make him wonder hard over 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 characters or computer games. Write the questions on sheets of paper with a picture of this or that hero. You can use both images from one cartoon, organizing the entire quest in his style, or from several at once.

A great source of inspiration can be computer game "Klondike". Quests and tasks, invented on its basis, are in search of various artifacts related to the theme of the Wild West. For more realism, children can be put on or fully dressed up in the best traditions of westerns.

Participants can go in search of the treasure by following the directions on the map. On it you will depict several streets closest to the house, designed in the style of the game "Klondike". Quests and tasks of this type involve searching for treasures, opening hiding places, asking friends for help, etc. This adventure will bring a lot of joy and pleasant gifts to kids. Any holiday with such a game will become an unforgettable event in the life of every child.

"Klondike", quests and tasks in which are very exciting and varied, is not the only option interesting game... Also great will be a moving quiz in the style of the movie "Pirates Caribbean". At the final point of the journey, a man dressed as Jack Sparrow will be waiting for them, who will present the treasure to the winner.

Hide the answers away

You can come up with the most varied and interesting tasks for the quest. For example, use your old suitcase with hide the grand prize in it. And the cipher that will help open it, let the participants collect one by one throughout the game.

To come up with tasks for quests in the apartment, use a deck of cards. Scratch the directions for the next step on the end of it and shuffle it well. To make out the message, players will have to fold the cards in the correct order. Make a hint for them, which will say something from the category "Hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds will reveal the secrets of the future to you." This will let the players know that they should look for the cards, as well as in what order they should be placed.

We present gifts in an original way

To give a birthday present in an unusual way, you can also use the 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, one of which will hide the cherished souvenir, and to find it, you will have to open all of them.

You can also arrange an exciting quest around the city, the tasks of which will lead the birthday person to a place where a congratulatory surprise party awaits him. You can start your journey as follows. Leave a piece of cake in your friend's room overnight with a note containing something like this: “Well, your birthday has come. Today everything will be for you, but to get the prepared amenities, you will have to work hard. After all, nothing in this life is just given. And even your holiday is no exception. To begin with, dress comfortably, eat a cake, recharge your batteries with coffee. You will soon find out what to do next ”.

If you are going to give the birthday boy something of clothing 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 bring 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 present a mobile phone in an unusual way for your birthday, let the participant receive one number at each stage of the game. The phone number will consist of them, by calling to which, in the final, the birthday person will find his present.

Fighting insidious numbers

Interesting tasks for the quest you can come up with using the most different ways numbers. These can be both the most elementary tasks from the category of counting the number of steps in the house, and tricky puzzles. You can encrypt the code in a magazine or book. Participants will have to first guess the title of the required edition, and then, using the given page numbers, lines and words, find a clue to the next step.

Quest tasks also often involve guessing the phone number of the person who received the key to the next step by email. To guess the cherished numbers, you need to find information on the Internet as soon as possible about the height, age of the stars or the dates of well-known and not-so-famous events. A similar puzzle might look like this.

Illustrative example

“Are you finally here? I can't even believe that I got there! I am sure that you will not go further, because this task is clearly beyond your power. The fact is that the required code was sent to one person, whose name I will not tell. You can only contact him by phone, but you will not get his number either. Whether you like it or not, you 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 partner in "The Wolf of Wall Street". Renee Zellweger's birth month. Then - the second half of the foot size of Penelope Cruz. And the last digit is the number when Jason Stethem's girlfriend was born. May the great connoisseur of Google stars help you! "

Examples of tasks for a quest of this type can be encrypted as your heart desires, and you can use any wording that just comes to your mind. Since doing this task means the help of an Internet search engine, you can ask questions of any complexity. Including it is not forbidden to mention stars in whose biographies your player friend is not very strong. But to make it even more interesting for him to look for answers, you can guess information about his idols.

Hollywood to the rescue!

Quests for the quest in the office and on the street can be organized in the style of any films and series of a group of people for whom the game is being played. You can think of a myriad of riddle options.

For example, it is very interesting to use the theme “People in Black”, starting the competition with the following note: “Hello, Earthman! We, Agent K and Agent J, need your help. We have fixed the walking one but have not yet established 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 encoded. The best of our agents are struggling to decode it, but they can't do it without you. We have separate parts of the message, but without help we cannot recreate all of its content. Search for all text immediately! You will be agent M and you will receive all the necessary data from agent B. Do not forget that the fate of the planet is in your hands! Until next time! "

Sea of \u200b\u200bthemes

An interesting hunt for monsters can be organized during the quest in the style of the TV series "Supernatural". For fans of royal intrigues, the ideal option is the Game of Thrones competition. And for the fans “ Walking Dead"An unforgettable surprise will be a meeting with a zombie apocalypse on the streets of the city.

"The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Transformers", "Fast and the Furious", "Batman" ... The list goes on and on, because any popular film is just a storehouse of facts that can be used to compose riddles. The same can be said for online entertainment. For example, the Klondike game is perfect for this purpose, quests and tasks on which will make the holiday unforgettable.

formation of teams to participate in the quest game "The history of the city in monuments"

Participants: The quest game was developed for 10th grade students who previously visited the Museum of Military Glory of secondary school No. 2 in Novopolotsk and took part in the interactive quiz "Be Worthy in Memory of the Fallen".

Students age : 9 - 11 grade

Relevance :

Preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War is part of the school's educational program for the civic education of students. The topic is dedicated to methodical development, is relevant, since monuments of the Great Patriotic War are one of the ways to preserve the historical memory of the people. This form of the event was not chosen by chance. As you know, the modern generation of children spends a lot of time at the computer, communicating on social networks or playing various games...
