Let’s go Hawaii Quest

Description

Aloha folks! How about we go to Hawaii for a while?

This quest is created for a variety of fun leisure activities. Perfect for a get-together with friends, family and co-workers, as well as entertainment for a Hawaiian-themed party.

There are 10 tasks in the quest, which are connected by a common plot and logic.  The quest is written as an adventure journey to Hawaii, which consists of an introduction, a secret message and the tasks themselves – 12 cards in total. The quest participants will get acquainted with the history, traditions, and culture of Hawaii in a playful way.

What’s the plot? 

You are the lucky tourists who came to Hawaii, the island of Maui, to enjoy the beautiful nature,  wonderful views of the Pacific Ocean, the warm sun, and unforgettable hospitality of Hawaiian people.

Walking along the beach on the first day of your vacation, observing the incredibly beautiful landscapes and enjoying the sun, you catch a glance of something sparkling in the golden sand. When you get closer, you are surprised to find a glass bottle with something inside. The bottle was tightly sealed, and inside are neatly rolled sheets of paper.

Delighted with your find, you hurry to your hotel to ask the staff for a corkscrew. You opened the bottle and take out a roll of slightly faded paper. The bottle contains a letter from the leaders of the 8 Hawaiian Islands, dated July 3, 1990.

The complete set for the quest includes 3 PDF files: 

1. The “Instruction” file contains a list of necessary actions and tips for preparing and guiding the quest game.
2. The “Quest” file contains 10 cards with tasks without answers.
3. The “Quest with answers” file contains 10 cards with answers.
4. Picture of the volcano to print as a clue for prize/gift location.

Add-ons you’ll need:

• Printed Work Cards (1 per group)
• Pencil for filling in the answers
• A volcano – it could be a printed image of a volcano, or centrepiece installation – as long as it looks like a volcano. A host will hide a note with a gift location under or inside of a volcano or write on the back of the volcano picture.
• A gift – do not forget to prepare some gifts for your winners 😉

Cache Locations:

Since the quest is a board game, all secrets and clues are located within quest itself. You can solve the quest stationed in one location, without going anywhere to search for hidden clues. Everything you need is on the quest pages. The final step will lead to a  prize location. It must be prepared by the game host and hidden before gave starts. Piece of advice: if it is a  group activity, make sure the gift is sharable:-)

Samples of the tasks in the quest  

Theme of the party, attire  

As a quest organizer you can add a Hawaiian attire for the participants and incentive thematic gifts. Since the quest is all about Hawaii, you can make lei (Hawaiian flower garland), use pineapples, bananas, coconuts, serve fruity drinks associated with Hawaii, decorate the surrounding area with palm leaves, add relaxing luau music, create a tiki bar to hold a mini  Hawaiian-style party.

❗USEFUL ADVICE❗ For a more realistic quest, we advise you to pick up a glass bottle. Print out all the cards with the tasks, roll and tie them with thread, put in a bottle and close with a  cork.

• • If you are hosting a Hawaiian party on the beach, you can put a bottle next to the party table for your guests to find.
  • If you decide to go through the quest indoors, you may attract your guests by making a centrepiece on the table with the bottle. Such as a basin full of water or sand with a bottle sticking out. It will catch the attention and guests will ask: “What is this cool installation?” in response, you can answer – “This is a treasure that you have to find!”
