Pirates' quest

Pirates' Quest description

It is a fascinating search for treasure at home, in the countryside, in the gazebo and in general, anywhere! It consists of ready-made tasks for a children's quest and a real pirates' party – you only need to prepare a surprise treasure for the end of the quest, print out the cards and hide them according to the instructions. A cool party is ready – easily and quickly!

A set of 11 hint cards with themed pirates' tasks is suitable for children over 10 years old (there may be a mixed team of children of different ages, but they will need the help of an older one). The script will not seem easy to an adult either, so you can arrange a pirate party with a quest for friends, family or a loved one.

There are 2 sets of cards in the quest: the tasks in them are similar, but the answers lead to different hiding places at home or outside. One person or a group of children, teenagers or adults can play.

We recommend organizing one team of no more than 8 people – otherwise it may be difficult for children to focus on one task card and read it carefully. If you have more than 8 participants, divide them into 2 teams: one team will complete the quest in the street, and the other at home.

Colorful cards for printing in PDF format come along with detailed instructions on how to prepare the quest.

This is how the printed materials of the quest look like:

Treasure Search

The ready-made script of a pirate quest for children consists of:

• a plot twist which is in a pirate's letter,
• puzzles, treasure hunting and a simple scientific experiment,
• a logical conclusion which is the found treasure.

You only need to add the treasure itself:

1. If it is a birthday present, you can put small pleasant things for other guests as well: key rings, cool stationery, sweets, etc.
2. If a specific gift is not needed, buy chocolate coins, add some trifled that will produce ringing sounds and grandmother's beads. Pack it all in a box – you can paint it like a chest, or take a real one (wooden blanks can be found in creativity stores). Yo-ho-ho!

Organizing a pirates' quest for adults is also a good idea! It’s a nice opportunity to return to their childhood and have an adventure at the same time. Dress up as pirates, come up with cool and funny pirate nicknames and have a party! There is a task with a pirate song to a popular tune in the quest – no one will stay indifferent!

It's great that you don't have to invent anything yourself or come up with a party script. You only need to download our quest, print it out and have fun! If you take care of simple costumes in advance, photos taken during this wonderful event will forever remain in the archive and your memory!

How to arrange a pirates' quest for children or adults

There is no fundamental difference, except that it is possible to make a more intricate search for adults. To prepare, you will not need anything special: a printer (or just go to a copy center) and scissors!

Five steps of preparation:

1. Read the instructions with the answers.
2. Print out the selected tasks, cut where necessary, prepare a card with a secret.
3. Hide a gift, some surprise or sweets in a secret place, mark it on the map. Tear the card into pieces and hide it along with the tasks (or do not tear it and hide the card at the end of the quest).
4. Spread out the hint cards according to the instructions, hand the pirate's letter to the players or leave it in a prominent place.
5. If you wish, use additional active games that we have come up with and written in the end of the instructions.

Places where you should hide the hints

You can conduct a quest in an apartment or in a country house. By the way, if you wish, you can use part of the street tasks, part of the home ones. The quest uses indications of simple and accessible hiding places (the second option is a hiding place for the street):

• water vessel / purse;
• mailbox / stairs;
• window sill / something blue;
• mirror / seat;
• book / door;
• sofa / bag;
• soap / window;
• some cards suggest that you’ll choose any hiding place of your own.
