Quest plot

The plot of the quest is based on a fictional story that one day a spaceship fell to Earth. Where he came from and where he then disappeared is unknown. But at the landing site, traces were found of a mysterious message that said: “Do you want to unravel our path? You’ll have to play a little. Who are we and where do you come from? You have to find out And fly into space with the help of knowledge.” "

◊ Beginning of the quest: We recommend starting the space quest for children with the child (children) finding an envelope that was left by space inhabitants. Opening the envelope, a letter will be found in it. ◊ Letter text: “

Hello, we are space inhabitants of the Cosmica galaxy. We are the keepers of universal knowledge about space. Only a select few can get to know us and learn our secrets. Only those who solve all our tasks will be worthy of receiving universal knowledge and a cosmic gift.” Along with this message, the children will also find the first simple task, after solving which the quest with the search for the main gift will begin.

All tasks are thought out in such a way that, at the request of the quest organizer, any cards can be removed or their sequence can be changed. This opportunity will allow the organizer to construct his ideal quest using suitable hiding places.
