A lot of entertainment is available to modern man. But at the same time, something new is constantly appearing. The quest in reality - performance - allows you to tickle your nerves, add adrenaline to the blood. It is distinguished from other similar events by the presence of actors who help or interfere with the players.
How does this happen?
For quests you need a room. Usually they are equipped with decorations and mechanisms that allow you to apply special effects for greater realism. Several people must participate. Team play is much more interesting. The task to be completed is usually designed for 60-90 minutes. The script is known in advance. This can be a performance quest based on a literary work. The plot of a feature film or a computer game is often taken as the basis.
goal
Quest performance with actors allows you to turn the action into an interactive performance. Its participants improvise at their discretion, but in accordance with the chosen plot. Participate in it to get new impressions and emotions, to break away from reality. Unusual surroundings contribute to this. A quest with performance elements is an opportunity to be in a new dimension, try on new roles, and take part in an exciting adventure.
Where to look for them?
This type of entertainment is known throughout the country, but, of course, the most interesting quests are performances in Moscow. Although in St. Petersburg and other cities you can also find good options for this type of vacation. As for the capital, there is even a certain rating of quests. The performance in Moscow, chosen at your discretion, will be a great pastime. A list compiled by professionals allows you to draw conclusions about the popularity of each of them and choose the right one for your company.
Not suitable for everyone
Interestingly, the performance quest is more a horror story than a logical task. Therefore, people with weak nerves are not recommended to participate in such events, since often actors play in such a way that the boundaries of fiction and reality are erased. Quests (performances) in Moscow are numerous, so that it is easier to navigate, we will talk about several of them.
If you need a thrill
The rating of quests for complexity, popularity and ability to scare looks like this:
- The first place goes to the game, which, judging by the reviews of those people who have already participated in it, is the most popular. This is a "Collector". Probably because he became the first in our country of interactive entertainment of this kind. The quest, taking into account the Russian mentality, copies the New York project Sleep No More. The start of the game is impressive, in which participants are introduced with bags on their heads, thus immediately immersing them in an atmosphere of horror and nightmare. It will be scary throughout the quest. The reality of what is happening is supported by unusual sounds and unpleasant odors. The action takes place in the den of a maniac who tries to catch all the team members and prevent them from reaching the end. The atmosphere of a nightmare accompanies players to the very last room, and being in them is becoming unbearable. And we must really try to survive until the end of the game. In addition to the "Collector", there are other interesting places that can invigorate and scare.
- The second place is occupied by the performance quest "Last Excursion", which takes players to the factory. According to legend, strange events took place on its territory. Here a family even disappeared, whose members, besides their son, were later found dead. During the game, participants will reveal the secret of the plant. Passing this quest will allow you to feel a storm of emotions, the main of which will be fear. In addition, moving from one room to another, moving across a vast territory, it is necessary to solve several puzzles. Excellent scenery and soundtrack, thoughtful plot, wonderful play of actors allow you to completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the game.
- Third place is the performance quest Inferno. It is suitable for lovers of secrets related to alien civilizations and anomalous zones. In an unusual place where time is refracted and many artifacts are found, a team of participants will be found. Special effects and well-chosen surroundings keep players in suspense to the last. Interest is added by logic tasks and riddles. Not everyone succeeds in reaching the end of the quest, but many enjoy it. It is suitable for those who are just starting their acquaintance with the world of this kind of entertainment. This is a very interesting performance.
- In fourth place is the performance quest Night of Fear. Its action takes place in the basement. The events taking place in it will make players tremble with horror. And this is no accident, because a vampire hunts for them. And in order to get out, you need to solve several puzzles. The actors of this performance play great, the sound design is excellent throughout the game.
- Fifth place is occupied by Amnesia - this is a quest in which the organizers managed to combine together two seemingly incompatible concepts: “fear” and “humor”. At the end of the game, participants will have an unexpected ending, which will surprise even an experienced quest visitor. Players have to cope with puzzles, constantly waiting for the attack of the maniac.
- Those who are looking for special sensations and strive to get into the atmosphere of a nightmare will undoubtedly like the Cubirint, which got to 6th place. The basis for the plot of the game was the story of Freddy Krueger, who appeared in a teenage dream and killed them. Only in this quest do players fall into a dream with one of its victims. According to legend, in order to make this possible, the “Kubirint” developed a “collective dream”. Everything that happens in the quest seems real thanks to the surround sound and unique special effects.
- On the 7th place is a quest for fans of horror stories “29 weeks later”, in which players need to save humanity from those infected after the disaster. To do this, defeat all enemies and find the antidote.
- On the 8th place is a quest that is suitable for beginners. This is Twilight Syndrome. The action takes place in a psychiatric hospital, in which, according to legend, experiments were carried out on people. The surroundings are fully consistent with the hospital atmosphere.
- At the 9th place is the Stalker game. Not as scary as the previous ones, but able to tickle nerves. Players need to enter the den of a stalker who has gone missing to find out what happened to him and the anomalies he created.
- At the last, 10th place, an excellent quest for beginners is “Zombie Hour”. In the allotted time, you must save yourself from the living dead and find a vaccine.
To go or not?
Not everyone will decide to visit such quests. First you need to get together. What if the decisiveness leaves already at the stage of viewing photos, which depict the quest performance? The reviews of those who have already passed this test will be excellent helpers in gathering willpower in one's fist and still visit this modern entertainment. If those who were there returned safe and sound, then the human psyche is capable of enduring such horrors. In addition, a small shake-up and adrenaline rush are necessary for those whose life is a routine consisting of home, work or school. This is noted by all players. And they say that this is an incomparable pastime: fun, exciting and memorable for life.
How to decide?
But now that the decision has been made, the question clearly arises of how to choose a quest. There are several selection criteria. Moreover, for beginners this causes more difficulties than those who have already visited at least one quest. It is better to go with those who already have experience in participating in such games. Then many questions will disappear by themselves. But if there was no suitable company, it will be useful to know that the two go to quests or with the company more. There are options for games in which even 20 people can take part at the same time. If you plan to attend a performance, that is, a quest in which solving puzzles is not the main thing, the emphasis is on action, then a small number of participants will do. But where it is necessary to solve problems in order to get out, for example, it is better to act in a crowd. The more thinking heads, the better.
After choosing the right team, you need to decide on the place where the quest is held. It should be convenient for all participants to get to their destination. It is not recommended to be late, as the number of quest rooms is high. The assigned time may take another team. Pre-booking is best, especially if you want to get there on weekends or holidays. The theme of the quest should also suit all participants.
To make everyone happy
Even if people are going to go on a horror story to experience fear, there is a limit to human capabilities. If for someone it is unacceptable, for example, to be in the morgue, it is better to immediately abandon this venture. Otherwise, it will simply break. Do not be upset, because there are many places where participants in the game may be. For example, in a bloodthirsty pirate’s hut, prison, hospital, abandoned castle, laboratory, and other similar, but no less awful premises. Choosing what suits everyone is easy. Tasks are also different. The only condition that unites these games is that they will have to save their lives and help their friends do it.
Required condition
Also, quests come in different difficulty levels. If only beginners go, it is better to choose something easier for the first time. Otherwise, a too difficult game will repel the desire to participate in such entertainments again and will not bring the desired pleasure. And finally, to attend a horror-style quest, you need to be mentally and mentally prepared, and not suffer from claustrophobia, since games usually take place in confined spaces.
It is imperative to remember that the operators are watching the game. Therefore, in case of unforeseen circumstances, you can get out of it at any stage.
