- Intermediate prizes. Every adult has a small child who gladly receives gif.webpts. In addition to the main birthday surprise, prepare some small souvenirs. For a man, buy a diary, a nice pen, a T-shirt, a mobile phone holder in advance. A friend can be presented with lipstick, hand cream, hairpins, a beautiful keychain, a cosmetic bag.
- Number of participants. If only the birthday person participates in the quest, of course, the main gif.webpt will go to him. In the event that guests (relatives, friends, colleagues) join the game, each player should be encouraged.
What are the types of quests:
- Search for a presentation by scrapbook. You hide the gif.webpt in a secluded place, and the birthday boy's task is to find it, following the prompts.

Grand Prize
If the quest is organized for one birthday person, at the end of the completed tasks, he finds the main prize. But if several players will participate in the game, take care of the required number of gif.webpts so that each guest receives a present.
The prize must be hidden in such a place so that the birthday person does not find it ahead of time, otherwise the quest will end at the very beginning. Think over the chain of tasks so that they do not overlap, but it is better to mark for yourself all the hiding places on a piece of paper: this way you will not get confused and reliably hide tasks and gif.webpts.
Do not be discouraged if you have purchased a symbolic present for the birthday boy. The quest itself is already a gif.webpt, fascinating and original, which will bring inexpressible joy to the participants. A present can be not only material, but also in the form of positive emotions. For example, dad and mom can be given a weekend tour, brother - a certificate for visiting a go-kart center, beloved - a romantic dinner in a restaurant.
The birthday of a loved one can be made unforgettable by coming up with his own quest with interesting tasks. At the end of the birthday boy there will be a gif.webpt, but the search process itself will become an exciting adventure that adults so often lack.
