A modern museum is a cultural space that is open to a wide range of age audiences. Each of them requires a specific approach necessary for a clear, vivid, comprehensive presentation of the museum product.

If twenty years ago excursions and lectures were quite enough to work with both children and adults, then in the 1990s. There is an emerging understanding in the museum community that traditional forms of work are not enough to attract visitors.

Particular attention of museum workers was directed to children, since organized school groups are the main visitors of the museum, and it was for them that many were developed and implemented.

But offers for age categories remained meager and insufficient. Of course, the reasons why people aged 20-40 visit museums less often than children and teenagers can vary greatly - from the intense pace of life to the unattractiveness of the museum itself. Nevertheless, it was worth understanding what the museum can influence - the quality and originality of its own programs.

Thus, employees of the Ural State Military History Museum (hereinafter referred to as UGVIM) decided to develop a program that would be of interest to young people aged 18-30 years.

While everything was being developed for children's audiences, everything remained meager.

Museum quest in the city

Recently, quests have become very popular among socially and intellectually active young people as a way to spend their free time.

The word “quest” comes from the English quest – search. Initially, this word was used to name computer games from Sierra (Space Quest, King’s Quest, Police Quest, etc.), but later the name spread to an entire genre computer games, the plot of which requires the player to solve intellectual problems.

Today the term is also used to refer to adventure games that take place in the "real world".

Stages for conducting a standard quest

1. and the game area.
2. Prepare puzzle tasks (riddles, rebuses, codes, etc.).
3. They indicate the territory of the game - the zone within the boundaries of which the stages will be located.
4. Prospective players declare their participation and most often pay fees.
5. At the start, they receive game tasks.

Tasks can be issued in (as, for example, in the games “Running City” or “Starting Point”) or electronic format (“Fight”, “Watch”, etc., in this case Internet access is required).

1. In order to receive the next task, players must get the correct answer to the previous one. Sometimes the rules of the game allow passing a stage with a penalty.
2. The game can be linear or have several storylines, i.e., assume a strategy for passing it.

In general, it comes down to completing all tasks as quickly and correctly as possible and reaching the finish line.

Territory for quests

It can be different: from a room to a whole city and even a region or region. In museums, as a rule, quests are held in the building of the institution itself or on the territory adjacent to it.

Thus, the term “quest” can be defined as a search and adventure game with orienteering elements.

When the quest territory is city space:

UGVIM employees decided to organize a quest in which the entire city of Yekaterinburg would become the game area.

To do this, it was necessary to perform the following sequence of actions.

1. Determining the theme of the quest

The theme of the quest was the history of the Ural Volunteer Tank Corps (hereinafter referred to as UDTK). In 2013, the Sverdlovsk region widely celebrated the 70th anniversary of the creation of this illustrious connection. The Ministry of Culture of the Sverdlovsk Region has planned many events related to this date.

In particular, the application of UGVIM for holding the quest “Tanks in the City!”, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of UDTK, was approved.

The application included

• content and justification of the project;
• calendar plan for its implementation;
• estimate for consumables;
• advertising in the media;
• souvenirs;
• prizes for participants.

The quest passed a competitive selection and received funding (Appendix 1).

1. Event date

The date for the quest was Youth Day, which is traditionally celebrated at the end of June, but the team began work on preparation immediately after the application was approved - in February 2013.

1. Composition of the organizing team

The working group consisted of three people, but other museum specialists were also involved in consultations: a system administrator, a designer, a lawyer, an accountant.

1. Distribution of duties

• Preparations for the quest were carried out in two main directions: script development and an advertising campaign in the media.

• Select objects and encrypt them.
• UGVIM researchers have been studying the history of the Ural Volunteer Tank Corps since 2009 and during this time they have become acquainted with all the memorable places in Yekaterinburg that are associated with the history of UDTK and the contribution of the Urals to the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
• The working group selected ten objects that became control points (hereinafter referred to as CP) of the game.
• The teams' task was to use their knowledge of the history of the city and the tank corps to decipher intellectual tasks and identify the hidden places in which the task had to be completed.

When selecting objects, employees were guided by their historical importance and convenient geographical location for the route. Each CP was presented in the form of a task, which the museum employee, a professional poet, translated into poetic form.

For example, one of the hidden objects is a monument to Marshal G.K. Zhukov was encrypted as follows:

“Now you need to find that place,

Where is our commander who is marked

Four times the highest award,

Immortalized there in metal and stone.

He is with a friend who is wearing horseshoes, with a girth...

Make people happy with your answer,

And how much, tell us, does a faithful friend have

Are there nails in the left front horseshoe?

The answer to the task was the number 6 - exactly the number of nails in the left front horseshoe.

The building of the Pedagogical University, in which the UDTK headquarters was located during the Great Patriotic War, was encrypted as follows:

“There is a tree branch on that house,

Where students study

To teach children later,

And before those apartments

The tankers were given

During the hard times of war.

Opposite is a pizzeria building,

And the street has a name

In honor of a foreign person,

A fighter for the revolution.

What kind of branch is there on that house?

Answer, we are waiting impatiently.”

To decipher the task, it was necessary to remember the street named after the German revolutionary Karl Liebknecht, the pizzeria and the building of the pedagogical university on it; find a memorial plaque on the facade of the university dedicated to UDTK with an image of a branch. Having compared these facts, the participants only had to make sure that the branch was oak.

• Determine the sequence of tasks. The working group compiled 20 routes for 20 teams. They were developed in such a way that participants would not collide with each other at checkpoints, and the routes themselves would be convenient for moving around the city.
• Bring information about the game to city residents.

To carry out the advertising campaign, an agreement was concluded with a specialized company, which undertook advertising support for the event, including the production of materials announcing the event, their placement on various media, as well as the production of souvenirs.

This turned out to be the most effective, as it freed the museum from the need to work separately with different organizations, and made it possible to obtain a ready-made complex product, made in a single stylistic solution.

1. Ways to attract the audience to complete the quest (event advertising)

• a video for city multi-video screens in the city center, which was broadcast for 7 days on two screens once every 10 minutes a week before the quest;
• an audio clip on one of the music radio channels, which was broadcast 6 times a day for 10 days two weeks before the event;
• leaflets about the event in A3 format in the amount of 30 pieces. and A4 in the amount of 100 units. Leaflets were distributed independently by museum employees to universities, cafes, theaters, and museums;
• a flash banner on one of the city’s entertainment Internet portals with 200 thousand impressions in two weeks;
• news review of the event on home page the same site 10 days before the game;
• an outdoor banner placed on the museum grounds.

1. Development of souvenir products

A logical continuation of the campaign was the development of souvenir products, which can be considered the optimal advertising method that works to create a positive image of the museum. Souvenir flash cards, bags, pens, badges, magnets were made using the event logo and UDTK symbols.

• Also, museum employees independently posted advertising information on the museum’s website and in museum groups on social networks, where potential participants could ask questions and receive additional information.

1. How to become a quest participant (coordinator responsibilities)

• Having received all the necessary information, those wishing to take part in the quest had to assemble a team and register by phone.
• Each team was assigned a coordinator from among the museum staff. He communicated with the team via the Internet, sent tasks and received answers.
• The team had to identify a control point and send a message to the coordinator with its name.
• When the coordinator received the correct answer, the team was sent the following task (Appendix 2).

A week before the start of the quest, 16 teams (70 people) submitted applications for participation, which were distributed among four coordinators.

A method of communication with them during the game was determined - ICQ and Skype instant messengers or a client of the Vkontakte social network.

1. Preparation of necessary documents

In parallel with the preparation of the quest, documentation was created:

• Director's order to conduct the quest “Tanks in the city!” (Appendix 3);
• minutes of the meeting of the commission to sum up the results of the quest;
• participant registration sheet;
• quest rules;
• quest conditions.

The most labor-intensive work was drawing up the rules for the quest. It was necessary to think through all sorts of non-standard, force majeure situations that could happen to the participants, and ways to solve them. “Rules of the quest” and a short excerpt from them - “Terms of the quest” were posted on the museum website and in museum groups on social networks.

1. Prize fund

Two months before the quest, work was carried out to prepare the prize fund.

Valuable gifts were provided for the first three winning teams:

• tablet computers;
• electronic devices for reading books;
• portable hard drives.

The working group selected equipment models, drew up an estimate and entered into an agreement with an electronics store.

Particular attention was paid to the issue of the cost of gifts.

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 210 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, all prizes and gifts received by an individual are subject to personal income tax (NDFL) in the generally established manner.

Accordingly, winners would have to pay tax on the prizes received. However, paragraph 28 of Art. 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation provides for exemption from personal income tax for income not exceeding 4,000 rubles. Therefore, goods whose cost did not exceed this amount were purchased as prizes for the winners of the quest.

A surprising fact for the organizers were the statements of many players who, after the quest, noted that valuable prizes were not an incentive for their participation in the game. They saw the main goal in the game itself, adventure, “drive,” and the pleasure of searching.

1. Carrying out the game

On June 29, 2013 at 10:00 am, players were registered and routes were drawn. Here the participants met their coordinators, received a package with “Quest Conditions”, historical information about UDTK and souvenirs.

At 11:00 the teams simultaneously received envelopes with the first task and the game began.

For each coordinator, a workplace was prepared with Internet access and a route script for the teams entrusted to him.

First result complete passage The coordinators received the route within 2 hours, the last one – 7 hours after the start of the game.

1. Fixation of the publication of the results of the quest in the museum

Upon completion of the routes completed by all teams, the commission summed up the results of the game, determined the winners and recorded the results in the appropriate protocol.

The results were published on the museum’s website and in museum groups on social networks.

1. Summing up and presenting prizes

The next day, June 30, a solemn summing up of the results of the quest “Tanks in the City!” took place in the cinema-lecture hall of the Airborne Forces Museum. and awarding the winners. A program was prepared for the guests, where the winning teams were given gifts, and all players were given flash cards with the symbols of the quest. Also, the participants of the game were given a small concert of a military-patriotic song and a sightseeing tour of the museum. As they said goodbye, the players asked whether the museum would hold more quests and expressed a desire to participate in them. This is confirmed by reviews left in one of social networks in the group "Museum of the Airborne Forces".

1. Results of the quest and troubleshooting

Despite many positive reviews, the working group noted a number of shortcomings in organizing the museum quest:

• the simplicity of some of the tasks;
• insufficiently strict control of visits to the control center;
• a small number of objects.

Thus, it can be argued that such a form of work as a quest can be in demand and relevant for the museum.

Despite the fact that this was the first experience for UGVIM, it turned out to be successful and useful. Thanks to the interactive, modern form of the museum event, an audience was attracted that was not included in the category of “typical” museum visitors, which contributed to the creation of a favorable image of UGVIM among urban youth.

In addition, the museum for the first time gained experience in advertising on multi-video screens, entertainment Internet portals and FM radio stations. The appearance of video, photographic materials, and comments from participants about the event on the Internet is an investment in the further promotion of the museum in the information space.

It can be assumed that the organization of museum quests is a promising area of ​​activity that should be developed. Tested quest “Tanks in the city!” included in the permanent list of museum services as a weekend leisure activity.

After registration at 11:00, each team receives from its coordinator the first question about the location of the control point (hereinafter referred to as the CP) and the task. The team determines the CP and sends a message with its name to the coordinator via the Internet. Upon receiving the answer from the coordinator: “That’s right,” the team goes to the control point and completes the task there. In case of incorrect determination of the control point, the coordinator sends hint No. 1. In the case of the next incorrect determination of the control point, hint number 2 is sent. If the team cannot determine the control point after two hints received, the coordinator sends a message indicating the control point. In this case, the team stops fighting for victory, but can continue the quest. For each hint, the team is awarded a penalty time equal to an additional 30 minutes to the total time for completing the route. (For example, if a team's total time to complete a route is 5 hours, then using two hints will add 1 hour to that time. Thus, the total time will be 6 hours.) At the control point, the team completes the task and sends a response to the coordinator. When the coordinator receives the correct answer, the team receives the next task. When receiving an incorrect response from the command, the coordinator sends a message: “Error”. In this case, the team can submit answer options an unlimited number of times.
5. Each team must have a device with wireless access (not wi-fi) to ICQ/Skype/VKontakte/Odnoklassniki, through which the coordinator will send tasks, tips and receive answers. In emergency cases, participants can contact the coordinator by phone.
6. The duration of the quest is about 5-6 hours. Teams can use both public and private transport. Competitors must understand that favoring one mode of transport over another may give the team an advantage in time to complete the route.
7. For the team, the quest ends with sending the last correct answer to the coordinator and receiving a message from him with the text: “End of the game,” but answers are accepted only until 21:00 on June 29. Summing up the results of the quest will take place on June 30, 2013 at 15:00 at the Winged Guard Airborne Forces Museum. The results of the quest are published 48 hours after the end of the game on the museum’s website and in museum groups on social networks.
8. Souvenirs and gifts are provided for all quest participants. The teams that take first, second and third place will receive tablet computers, electronic book readers and portable hard drives as gifts, respectively.
9. The team that completes all tasks in the shortest time is declared the winning team.

Second place goes to the team that completes the task faster than other teams, but later than the winning team. Third place goes to the team that completed the task faster than other teams, but later than the winning team and the team that took second place.

And.., as you guessed, it has already begun! So, open the First letter with tasks and complete them all in turn.

Letter No. 1.

Look around. In front of you is a large staircase surrounded by columns. Looks solemn, doesn't it? The fact is that columns are the oldest way to show the grandeur and special purpose of a building. Remember, for example, the ancient Greek and Roman temples... So, hold your breath and slowly climb the steps to the left wing of the museum. Enter the Pink Hall and find paintings that also depict columns.”

Below is the signature: Open this window(Attached is a piece of paper covering the following text):

“In this room you see works of Russian art from the 18th and early 19th centuries. What are the names of the paintings that you managed to find? (“Russian artists in Rome in 1942”, “Rome. Ruins of the Forum”)

Let us tell you that all these Russian artists ended up in Rome not by chance! Even under the Russian Tsar PeterI A tradition arose of sending young artists to study in Italy. There they painted and created sculptures, inspired by the most beautiful views, buildings, and people. By the way, Italian masters came to Russian regions no less rarely: they painted, built, played music! What a cultural exchange!

Well, now, look around again. How many portraits are looking at you! It’s not for nothing that the entire 18th century is called the century of the portrait! Look at the costumes of the characters in the paintings. Please note that many of them have orders hanging on their necks and chests. Count how many orders you can find? Be careful, they might be hiding!”
