Buying a bride in the quest style is an interesting adventure that the bridegroom, witness, and friends of the future husband have to go through, including contests, games, tasks and riddles.

Training
Unlike many other events of this kind, the redemption of the desired bride in the quest style involves a laborious preparation process. It is necessary to take into account many details, calculate finances, because often such a ransom involves moving around the city. If the organizers (most likely it will be girlfriends) do not have enough funds to carry out a large-scale event, the ransom is easy to simplify by shortening the route. Also, girls can consult, put finances in a common piggy bank.
Redemption requisite
Depending on the chosen scenario of the quest, you may need a variety of props:
- Clothing. This may be a costume of a mysterious fortuneteller who prophesies to a future husband where to look for a lover, or a strict trouser version for a girlfriend who asks her future spouse to unravel the code, as well as other options. Even a funny outfit of a Cheshire cat will suit, which will show the way to the narrowed one - in this case the whole quest can be done in the spirit «Alice in Wonderland».
- Beautiful antique paper or sheets. If the ransom takes place according to a single style, tips, tasks, puzzles should be written on the same type of paper, this will help maintain the atmosphere of what is happening. Also on it will be written a message from the bride, who is waiting for her lover.
- A map of the city, bought at a store or drawn by girlfriends on their own is a mandatory attribute of a quest ransom. If the organizers drew the map, they should make sure that the stylized version is similar to the real one, and the future spouse should just be guided by it.
- Suitcase or safe. One of these devices is necessary for holding a fun quest-style contest, where the bridesmaids will ask the future husband for facts about her lover, and the answer will be the number («How old is she?», «How tall is the bride»?) The correct answer to all questions will be the cipher that will open the safe. There the groom should wait for a clue where to look for a sweetheart.
- A phone that will help the future spouse go to the next stage of the ransom in this style, and to him are three numbers of different people who will in every possible way dissuade him from going to the bride, seducing. When he refuses tempting offers, the last person will tell him where to go next.
- Prints of rebus images, balloons for possible contests.
- Candies, accessories that will be needed at the very end of the action.
Characters
Not only the organizers themselves, but also other comers with artistry can join the ransom in this style. The main and possible participants in the quest redemption process:
- Bridesmaids. Girls can independently help complete the quest for their girlfriend’s bridegroom, or they can hire a special courier who will deliver the first letter with a signature from the bride. So that girlfriends do not get bored, waiting for their future husband in a given place or running around the city with him, they can give advice to his betrothed by phone for a promise he will give his beloved: go shopping with her, cook breakfast every morning or bring coffee to bed.
- Male friends. Friends will need help when their friend calls the given numbers to find clues that will help him to come to the bride. Of the three roles, two belong to men - the first will persuade the future spouse to go to his bath with the girls, the second - a man of non-traditional orientation - will ask questions with a sexual connotation. The task of the betrothed is to refuse offers, then he will receive a hint where the card lies.
- Groom and witness. Both of them will have to try to get to the main character of the celebration. When choosing a route, you should take into account the nature of the narrowed: if he does not like puzzles and large-scale movements, he should give preference to a simple courtyard quest.
- Photographer. The bride’s quest ransom is an interesting and even exciting action, which must be captured in photos and videos, so calling a professional is a great idea. After the wedding, the newlyweds will be pleased to review the memorable shootings of the beginning of their wedding day..
- Other characters: fortune-tellers, fairy-tale characters.
Route mapping
Drawing up a convenient card is of great importance: it is important that the fiancée simply move around the territory of the district or city, otherwise the whole holiday risks becoming spoiled, because the future spouse will get tired even at the redemption stage, before going to the registry office. If you are planning a detour of a large territory, girlfriends need to study in advance the ease of travel on nearby streets, the number of traffic jams, and check the data again in the morning before buying.
The ideal route option is when the whole quest takes place in the same district where the future spouses live, although if the fiancé loves adventure, the urban environment is also suitable. The plan should be made with a bride who knows her lover well, for example:
- First, the team of the future husband with a witness drives up to the house where the hero of the occasion is supposedly living. A courier approaches them, hands a letter, where it says: «Dear (name)! I can no longer believe anyone: the monsters that take your guise pursue me. Only you can collect all the clues and find a place where I hide.» After the courier offers the future husband to take a test with a safe.
- A hint from the safe on the style of the quest may indicate the location of a billboard / sign / graffiti, which future spouses often passed together. When the participants reach the place, they must wait for the phone, where there is only one number - this is the competition in which the hero of the occasion will be persuaded to abandon the search.
- The last person will tell the narrowed down whereabouts of the card, which will lead him to the fortuneteller. She will say where is her beloved, but only after a monetary reward. After the groom gives the woman money, she will determine the final destination.
- At the end of each redemption task, the groom received, in addition to the hints, something else - sweets, fruits, possibly accessories. All this will be needed when the bridegroom gets to the place of meeting with her beloved: girlfriends who will not let the groom pass without gifts will protect her.
This is an example of a ransom-quest route, but each card must be individually drawn up, given the story of the bride and groom..
Quest ransom scenario
The groom and the witness drive up to the bride’s house, but no one meets them. Participants in the ransom are already heading to the porch when an unfamiliar courier blocks their path. He hands the future spouse a letter on shabby paper written by her lover. The letter says:

I feel in danger. The dark forces want to kidnap me, they are called by your name, they change their face, but I know that it’s not you!
I had to hide in a place where none of them could find me - it is protected. Only you can get to this place because you know me better than anyone.
