Game duration
A quest is a very exciting activity, both for the one who guesses and for the one who comes up with riddles. However, the game is not called “12 Notes” for nothing. no more than 12 riddles from all that you have come up with (less is possible).
A good game around an apartment can take 15 minutes, no more than an hour and a half, a quest around the city can take 1-2 hours, and a quest in another country can take several days.
In any case, remember that players may have other plans for this day.
Riddles for a quest about household items

There is a riddle about almost any household item, and more than one. You can easily find them on the Internet. But to make your task a little easier, we have made our own selection of riddles about various objects. We used some of these riddles in our quests.

In it you need to highlight gifts under certain numbers in a different color. If done correctly, you can read where the next note is hidden.

That's right, the next note is waiting for the child at the window.

Their special highlight is that to read the note you will need to not only find it, but also be able to read it. For example, the text is pressed with a pen without ink, written with a candle, or applied with a brush dipped in sugar syrup. Mirror phrases are also popular. In order to understand what is written, you will have to carefully shade the piece of paper with a pencil, hold it next to a candle flame, or hold it up to a mirror.

To do this, it is recommended to take a large sheet of paper, write a word on each line and wrap it with an accordion. The number of words required depends on the text. Then they are written in turn into an already invented story about the birthday boy. As a rule, the result is a very funny essay.

Game "12 notes"
To be honest, I got a little more than twelve notes. This happened because as a starting point I used a letter from Santa Claus, in which four days earlier he secretly told his son that a surprise awaited him from his parents. How he knew about this, I have no idea. Apparently, Santa Claus looks after not only children, but also adults. So, on the back of Santa Claus’ letter I wrote the following text:
To find the first note, you must play a melody.
It was as simple as finding the fifth note using the clues left in the fourth:
Without me, something delicious will melt. And even in the hot summer, the one who puts water in me will receive real ice.
Did you guess it? Then the following note, which did not turn out very well:
I have a good reason for hanging by the window. Because I am.
The note was hidden behind the back of a photograph of Big Ben.
Previously, you and I sang songs very loudly together. But I'm broken. My dear, Your note is below me.
This is the truth, not a lie: You will find me in your jacket pocket.
The answer to this strange riddle in the photo:
If you suddenly have problems with tasks for the game, you can ask for help in the comments. Describe, or better yet, photograph the place or object in which you will hide the note, and I will try to come up with a poem.
57 comments:
I hoped that my son would read, because he couldn’t solve riddles at all, but the little one would guess what she could. And she says, I’m like big, I’m 5 years old already, and this is not a normal game! But dad was stunned by the idea, and he and Sasha ran through the house back and forth ten times from floor to floor, hihihihi.
Third stage
In the teapot, the children find a package with a note from the wise Owl.
The presenter reads a message to the participants:
“Dear children! At this stage, several clues await you at once, but only one of them is correct. The code will tell you which one it is. You will find out the code if you correctly count all the flowers on the windowsills in the apartment (all the steps, all the benches, all the books, etc.)”
Kids count and determine the correct number and the correct clue. If, as in our example, you took a refrigerator, then the children go to the refrigerator.
