What are good party themes for adults?

Before diving into the list of ideas (though do feel free to skip on down) let’s chat about adult birthday party themes. For some odd reason the world seems to think that when the number of birthday cake candles reaches a certain point, all the fun has to be sucked out.

That’s just not the case. 

Adult birthday parties should be fun. Why in the world wouldn’t you want a fun party? They can take on similar themes as the ones from your adolescence or even childhood depending on your level of creativity without being inappropriate. When considering what theme to use, keep in mind what your guest list will look like. Will you be inviting whole families or just the adults? Will grandma be joining? These should definitely inform your decision – you wouldn’t want to invite everyone to a beer pong championship party right? But don’t worry, this list has ideas for everyone.

12 Backyard birthday party ideas for adults that are actually fun.

These party ideas, though designed to work swimmingly well in a backyard, are easily applicable to just about any outdoor setting. So if you don’t have access to a backyard you can still use most of these ideas in a local park or any outdoor space.  

Charcuterie Potluck Birthday Party

Woof! We’re hitting the ideas hard and fast right off the bat. You’ve heard of a potluck right? But have you heard of a charcuterie potluck?! We told you these would be unique. 

This backyard birthday party idea for adults is part dinner soiree, part art project.

Set up a long table (think feast level long) and cover it with brown paper (you can get a single large roll and use however much you need). As the host, you start things off by adding the beginning touches to the board with whatever you’d like. The fun part comes in when your guests bring their favorite charcuterie addition and play with how they want to add it to the board. 

To avoid having only meat or only cheese or only what-have-you – separate your guest list into groups and ask them to bring their favorite from whatever category they belong to. Some categories you may want to have:

You’ll end up with the worlds’ largest charcuterie board and everyone will have fun creating it together. Don’t forget the wine!

Take it up a notch:

Hire a local string musician to play classy tunes in the background. 

Backyard Adult Field Day Party

Did you love getting out on the field with all your friends to compete in fun games as a kid? Who says you can’t do it again? Invite your friends for a day of friendly outdoor competition. Make sure to have some prizes ready for the winners and as well as some hydrating drink options! 

Some games you can prepare to play:

Adult Finger Painting Party

Yup, you read that right. Hear us out. Take it back a few decades by indulging in some tactile creativity. You’ll remember just how fun it can be to forget about the rules and get colorful! Seriously, whoever said adult birthday parties were boring never attended one of ours. Finger painting and booze – your backyard birthday party will be remembered for a long time.

Buy one or two large wood panels along with as many colors of non-toxic pain you can find. Lay out large tarps you won’t mind getting paint all over and on top of the tarp lean the two boards against a fence or a backing of some kind. And there you’ll have yourself a giant wood canvas on which to play and get creative. You can alternatively string a large sheet instead of using wood (this will certainly be easier to remove and store). Of all the ideas, this may be the most unique backyard birthday party ideas for adults ever.

Warn your guests to wear items they won’t mind getting paint *all over. At the end of your party, you’ll have a masterpiece. 

Classy Backyard Cocktail Party

Try this invite!

And if finger painting just isn’t up your alley, let’s go the complete opposite route with a classy cocktail party. Set up a bar with large iced pitchers of pre-made cocktails OR hire a bartender for the night. Create a signature cocktail with a couple options for something different. Use fairy lights to create a lovely ambiance and transform any backyard into a classy affair. Use candles for extra mood lighting. 

If you really want the party to have a mature feel, you could include a dress code on your invite.

Take it up a notch with:

Backyard Birthday Yoga Party

If you’re into wellness and all things yoga, why not host a party around that central theme? Start off with a light pre-yoga hydration mixer – serve cucumber water and zen vibes while guests trickle in. Hire a local yoga instructor to teach a private class and make sure to communicate your needs and expectations. Many instructors will be happy to accommodate certain themes and physical expectations of a yoga class, but be sure to give them room to use their expertise. 

After the yoga class, consider laying down some blankets for a light post yoga picnic.

Backyard Movie Night

You’ll need a projector and a large white sheet (or white wall). You can pull the sheet over a large wall or string it up (just make sure that it’s taught). String up some fairy lights, lay out some pillows and you’ve got yourself a lovely movie night set up.

Don’t forget the snacks. Set up a popcorn bar with various toppings your guests can help themselves to.  

Crawfish Boil

Even if you’re not in New Orleans, you can still host a crawfish boil. It’s a fun spin on a dinner party. Your guests will love the unique experience.

Backyard Birthday Party BBQ

Try this invite!

And on that same note of eating outdoors, if you don’t want to go too far outside of your comfort zone a good old fashioned birthday BBQ may just be the perfect backyard birthday party idea for you. Pick up your favorite grilling meats and veggies – be sure to get enough for the number of expected guests. You’ll want plenty of variety and options for guests with varying dietary restrictions as well. 

It’s a birthday celebration, so make sure to string up some banners and maybe add a few balloons. You can even incorporate a sunny theme since the party is outdoors. 

Take it up a notch with:

Have fun colored sunglasses set out for your guests (make for a great photo, plus your guests leave with a goodie they’ll actually use).

Birthday Pool Party 

Another classic, the birthday pool party rarely disappoints. Pull out the floaties – consider having a special one for the birthday person – and the sunscreen. Have some large coolers around for easy access to drinks and don’t forget the tunes!

Instead of a birthday cake, you could serve boozy popsicles!

Taco Party!

We all know and love Taco Tuesday, so why not take the theme and roll with it for your backyard birthday party idea? Set up a long table that will serve as a build-your-own taco line. Make sure to have plenty of topping options and don’t feel restricted by only the traditional stuff. You can even have a dessert taco table with fun fillings like ice cream and crushed oreos!

Take it up a notch with: 

A hired bartender to mix up fresh margs for everyone!

Backyard Birthday, but make it *Mystical*

Who says only October birthdays get to host spooky parties? If the spooky theme is something you vibe with, we say go for it anytime of the year! Candles and black lace make for stellar spooky decor (just be mindful of practicing fire safety first). Hire a local palm reader or tarot card reader for a truly unique experience for your guests. 
Serve up spooky drinks and ask your guests to conform to the spooky attire with an all black ensemble.

Backyard 90’s Dance Party

Last, but not least – get bold with a 90s dance party. Hire a local band or simply create your own 90s playlist to get the party going. Ask your guests to come in full 90s costume to get the full experience – think bold colors (for example lime greens, pinks, and yellows). Have a giant basket of glow sticks your guests can grab as they make their way onto your outdoor dance floor.  

Take it up a notch with:

Set up a photo booth with 90s props.

And so the question becomes, of all these party themes — which backyard birthday party ideas for adults will be THE one?

15 Outdoor Birthday Party Ideas for Adults 2023

Planning your birthday celebration, but tired of the basic dinners/happy hours where friends feel awkwardly obliged to pay for you? I feel that. We need birthday parties for adults to be just as creative as our parties were as kids (I once had a mermaid-themed party, a murder mystery Victorian tea party, and an Academy Awards-themed birthday party, so I know a thing or two). Victorian tea parties aside, virtually no one can resist the appeal of a good outdoor get-together. Friends, food, booze, and a breeze? Say no more.

That said, your outdoor bday soiree options obviously vary based on the climate. My birthday falls smack dab in the middle of the dog days of summer (Leo SZN, baby) so I can’t in good conscience force my friends to go on a hike in the late August heat. However! There are plenty of other ideas you can run with. Winery hopping! Tarot reading! S'mores boards! Mimosa bars! Sure, some ideas are on the fahncy side, but you can totally DIY many of these party components. If all else fails, plop on the beach with your pals for the day with a cooler of White Claws. See? It's that easy.

Whether you’re a Taurus or Sag, there’s a solid almost half of the year you can comfortably celebrate outside. Here are some fun outdoor birthday party ideas, no matter your age, vibe, or star sign.

1

The Classic Pool Party

A post shared by FUNBOY (@funboy)

Here's the plan: Rent an Airbnb for the night, and make sure the space is equipped with a pool. (Spoiler: This will probably have to be a more chill gathering with close-knit friends, bc many Airbnb hosts notoriously do *not* let you throw ragers these days.) Buy all of the pool floats, including a giant disco ball, and even some lil ones that let your drink float around with you. Sip, splash, repeat.

A Vintage-Inspired Beach Bash

A post shared by Business & Pleasure Co.™️ (@businessandpleasure_co)

First, you need to establish the vintage aesthetic with a beach umbrella, then cross your fingers for a sunny day sans wind. Invite your friends to wear cute vintage-inspired high-waisted suits with you, and there ya have it. Don't forget the necessities either: Pack an old-school picnic basket or cooler with spiked seltzers and snacks, ofc.

Winery Trail

A post shared by Priority Wine Pass (@prioritywinepass)

A wine passport is a real thing, you guys. Find an area where there’s a cluster of wineries so you can hop around to any and all of them. Pick someone to be a DD (Mom?) or, if you’re feelin' fancy, hire a driver for the day. Most vineyards will have sit-down food options or will let you bring along a picnic, in which you must find and bring every block of cheese and tub of hummus that Trader Joe's sells.

Fancy Garden Fete

Dear reader, you are cordially invited to indulge your Bridgerton fantasies with high tea, tiny cakes, a ridiculous amount of flower arrangements, and a soundtrack with only violin covers of pop songs. No, guests aren't required to dress in Victorian petticoats, and yes, this party will def be the talk of the town ;).

Witchy Tarot Party

Scorpio bbs, this one's for you! If you're born anywhere near Halloween, you are obliged to celebrate with a very witchy, celestial party. You don't have to summon any spirits or anything, but at least partition off part of your yard with some gauzy fabric to create a separate area for the tarot reader to work their magic. Decorate with plenty of suns, moons, stars, a sh*t ton of candles, and tarot cards too.

Classic Picnic

Step one: Meet in a park and lay out a chic picnic blanket. Step two: Everyone brings their fave wine and cheese (there needs to be a cake for you, ofc). And voila! A classy picnic for you and your crew.

Vino Flow

A post shared by Vino Vinyasa®️ Yoga (@vinovinyasayoga)

We are not advising you to swindle your friends into a workout with you on your bday, but yoga with wine tasting is a different scenario. You can book vinyasa flow/wine tasting classes or parties through companies like Vino Vinyasa in a variety of cities. Heck, if there are no yoga/wine companies near you, you can all sign up for an outdoor group class and pop open a few bottles once savasana is through.

8

Beer Garden Game Night

A post shared by Central Machine Works (@central. machine.works)

If you're including everyone and their S.O. in your soiree, make it a more casual day at a beer garden and get some games going to break the ice. Many breweries and beer gardens have lawn games and board games for you to borrow, or you can bring some games from your own stash.

9

Pizza Truck Party

A post shared by The Mule House (@themulehousepizza)

Pizza *is* the entire party right here. Prepare for every kind of pizza you could possibly imagine (it's bottomless!) and most pizza trucks have gelato on the menu too (*chef’s kiss*). Truly, what else could you need on your birthday other than copious amounts of carbs and cheese?

10

Birthday Bonfire

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Abundant Tables (@abundanttables)

If your birthday falls during chillier months, may I interest you in a cozy, flannel-clad campfire party? S'mores charcuterie boards are an absolute must (think chocolate, candy, fruit and crackers) and spooky stories are equally as welcome. Oh, and don't you dare forget about the mulled wine.

11

Floral Arranging Fest

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Flowers With Friends (@fwfnola)

How adorable is a flower-arranging party?! This right here is a group activity that doesn't make a mess, and party guests get to head home with a gorgeous bouquet in hand. True, there are actual flower-arranging studios you can book for your backyard bash, but you can just as easily DIY this one with a trip to your local craft store. Provide mojitos or some kind of boozy beverage, especially for those who are ~less crafty~ than your fine self.

Amalfi Coast Adventure

A post shared by Paperless Post (@paperlesspost)

I am fully transported to Italy rn with this coastal celebration idea. Admittedly, lemons are super trendy at the moment, so now is the time to embrace all things citrus. Whip up some delicious lemon pasta from our birthday dinners menu, pair it with a spritz from our selection of party cocktails, and finish your birthday dinner off with some ice cold—you guessed it—limoncello.

Backyard Bottomless Brunch

Okay, so you don't have to splurge on a prosecco truck, but it will provide you with free IG content so you're absolutely getting your money's worth. Boozy brunching on a budget? Pick up a few bottles of champagne and an array of juices to create your very own mimosa bar. Throw in some bagels, a couple of muffins, and you have yourself a bottomless brunch from the comfort of home.

Take your birthday to the high seas this year. You can book a scenic water cruise in most major cities that aren't landlocked—many have apps and booze on deck, but some (er, the best ones) are BYOB. Dress the part with a sailor hat, and you're ready for an unforgettable themed party.

Birthday in nature: ideas, contests, menus

You have decided to celebrate your birthday or name day of someone close or dear in nature. Fresh air, new experiences - all this is great, but you still need to think through a lot of little things so that your holiday is a success.

How to celebrate a birthday in nature?

To begin with, it is necessary to provide everyone with chairs, even if improvised, for example, in the form of logs or stumps, it is not so simple.

What to stock:

Tissues and garbage bags are always needed in the woods or on the beach. Stock up on them so you don't have to save. You need to take plain clean water, five liters. It is useful for washing hands. Take a tray so as not to put kebab skewers on the ground. And of course matches, a knife and coals. nine0003

How to entertain your guests:

At any party, it is very important not to let guests overeat. This will lead to fatigue and a sleepy mood.

There may be problems with making fire. After all, what is a holiday in nature without a barbecue or at least sausages strung on sticks and smoked over a fire? It is often forbidden to make fires in parks and forests. This is understandable. Fires in our forests happen almost every year.

If you decide to celebrate your birthday this way, don't forget to take all the rubbish with you. Especially one that cannot be recycled naturally. The sight of a forest clearing littered with plastic bottles and plastic bags is very upsetting. Remember - "Take care of nature - your mother!"? This slogan has not been canceled! nine0003

The best way to go out into nature to celebrate a birthday is to go to a dacha or a country house. Here and convenience at hand. After all, even at the simplest dacha there is already water, and some furniture, electricity. With the choice of a place for a fire will not be a problem. If you don’t have your own cottage yet, you can rent a house.

For those who don't like to just eat, drink and celebrate something, here are some birthday ideas in nature.

For those who are short of money and not ready to pay for entertainment, you can remember the good old birthday games in nature:

Celebrate your birthday in nature cheerfully and actively, and then this day will become an unforgettable holiday!

Scenario for a birthday in nature

If you decide to spend your birthday in nature, or any other holiday, a couple of tips will come in handy. nine0003

Let's start with congratulations. A gift can be presented in an original way. (an article in the topic - How to give gifts beautifully) It is necessary to wrap all the goodness in a bag or paper and put it in the sand under some kind of umbrella or bench, you can hang it on a Christmas tree. Basically, it would be hard to find. After that, you need to make a cardboard treasure map and cut it into pieces and lay it out at the place of celebration. The task of the birthday boy and his guests is to draw up a map and find gifts on it. Such a fun start will help lift your spirits. nine0003

When the gifts have been handed over, you can cook barbecue and feast . Get water and a tray in advance so that you don’t climb the bags with dirty hands later. Identify the trash can and begin to relax yourself.

When you see that everyone has had a bite to eat, raise the guests from the fifth point and make them do something.

For example, you can play the most cheerful and active guest: Invite him to play the game "sand mountains". Tell him to lie down on his stomach and remember how many sacks of sand you put on his back. Constantly say different numbers to bring him down. When the mountain reaches an impressive size, pull back his swimming trunks and move a pile of sand there. Usually after that, with screams and swimming trunks full of sand, he will chase after his friend who played him. In most cases, this amuses all the guests, including the one played. nine0003

You can sit down at the table again. Come up with some more entertainment and competitions and when possible, give people the opportunity to move around.

We wish you happy holidays. We hope this scenario will help you have a fun birthday.

How not to get bored at a birthday party in nature? Ideas, competitions

Having decided to celebrate a birthday in nature, be sure to think in advance not only of the holiday menu, but also how to diversify such an event so that it does not turn into banal gatherings. Birthday contests in nature will help you with this. nine0003

In our opinion, priority should be given to mobile competitions . Still, the more actively a person moves, being in the fresh air, the better he feels. Here, the main thing is not to overdo it. Especially for those who spend most of their lives in the office. Give the muscles a load - the next day you will move with difficulty. This accumulated lactic acid in the body will remind you of itself.

So let's imagine that it's summer outside. There is no sweltering heat yet, and the air is clean, transparent and filled with lilac aromas. To organize competitions in nature , you should prepare for them in advance. After all, props may be needed for their successful implementation!

The first version of the competition - different types of racing . To do this, you need to split into two teams and choose a leader. The task of the latter is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.

What the leader does:

What mobile birthday contests can be held in nature?

Start your usual sack run . True, for such a run it is worth finding bulky canvas bags, which is currently not too easy. Perhaps only children will be able to compete in the synthetic bags that are familiar to these times. nine0003

If you don't want to look for bags - buy balloons .

For those who consider such a task to be simple, it is possible to allow a collision of opponents on the way back. The probability of maintaining equilibrium in this case is reduced. It is important that the participants have approximately the same weight categories.

Did you find a pair of skipping ropes in the house? nine0022 We jump the planned route through the rope. Here you can come up with many options for jumping - on the right foot, on the left foot, on two legs (like a bunny), back to front.

Don't feel like preparing for competitions at all, but do you really want to take part in them? Use improvised materials. For example, between the legs you can hold the sticks found in the neighboring forest . The task is the same as in previous competitions - to go through the planned route without dropping the stick. If you add a rule to this fun that allows you to pass the wand to another participant without the help of hands, then the fountain of fun is guaranteed! nine0003

The next variant of mobile competitions is scammers.

  • Good for gatherings in the woods where there are a lot of cones.
  • You can split into two teams, or you can arrange individual “shooting” with cones into a tree.
  • For example, everyone gets 10 cones.
  • Whoever scores the most number of times with an accurate hit on the target is declared the winner.
  • If there are several winners, then you can continue the competition between them. nine0008

Did someone accidentally take out a soccer ball to nature? A wonderful occasion to arrange a funny football.

  • Participants are divided into two teams.
  • In each team, pairs are formed that stand sideways to each other, and then they are tied so that the right leg of one will be pressed against the left leg of the other.
  • Now you need to score the ball into the opponents' goal!

It's only a small part of birthday contests in nature . They are not that hard to organize. The main thing is that the company is selected cheerful!

Menu for a birthday in nature

After barbecue in nature, you don’t want anything anymore and it rarely comes to desserts. Although, if children go to nature, then it is unlikely that they will be able to save on sweets.

Drinks suitable for nature

The choice of drinks is determined depending on the season and the composition of the guests.

In the cold season, you want to keep warm. Therefore, the degree of alcohol should be sufficient to compensate for the air temperature. And for a non-alcoholic holiday, you should plan hot tea. nine0003

Naturally, in the heat, completely different priorities. Demand for cold beer and dry wines is on the rise. Chilled juices and lemonades diverge with a bang.

For children, the number of sugary soft drinks should be twice as much as for the same size group of adults.

Salads

You can do without salads in nature. But there is a danger that guests will starve while waiting for the barbecue to cook. Therefore, it is still worth taking a couple of light salads with you. nine0003

Fresh vegetables

Nowadays, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes can be found almost at any time of the year. Yes, these products are tastier in season. In my opinion, cucumbers, even in winter, are quite edible. Therefore, they should be on the menu for a birthday in nature, whenever it takes place.

But it is sometimes wiser to refuse tomatoes. Often, in early spring, they have no taste or aroma at all. Replace them with radishes, you won't regret it!

And don't forget the greens! Especially about green onions. It goes very well with barbecue, and just as a snack in nature it has a special appeal.

Bread

Now many people limit themselves to eating bread. But in the fresh air, appetite increases even for those who eat very little in ordinary life. And if you offer guests fresh pita bread instead of bread, then they will surely not resist your offer.

Lavash comes in many varieties. Pita bread is ideally combined with shish kebab. I don't know what it's called correctly. But I think you can guess what I'm talking about. The main thing is that these cakes are fresh. Then they have a unique flavor. And how cool it is to crunch with a fried crust of pita bread! nine0003

Sauces

When planning a menu for a birthday in nature, do not forget to bring sauces with you. It can be various ketchups and adjikas, both home-made and store-bought. It is important to choose something not too spicy here, because not everyone is a fan of sharp tastes.

There are those who prefer to eat barbecue with mayonnaise. So, take this product with you to nature.

Birthday in nature: a cheat sheet with ideas | Holiday again!

Ideas for celebrating a birthday in nature should be significantly different from all other options for celebrating, that's for sure.

I tried to collect all the most interesting things so that you can choose the right ideas for your holiday.

Solving the most important issue. Which? This is a question of who exactly organizes everything and a birthday in nature will turn out to be really memorable.

OPTION 1:
we do everything ourselves

OPTION 2:
we order a holiday with a field trip

Option 1: We do everything ourselves!

Until the end of the article there will be ideas for those who are ready to arrange a memorable holiday for loved ones. To be honest, it’s not so easy, you need a clear preparation plan and lists of necessary things, otherwise you can forget the essentials in the pre-holiday bustle.

Treat!

1. Take ready-made food so that guests can calmly wait for hot food

This is advice from years of picnic experience. People usually come to nature in the morning, few people have time to have breakfast, and even the road is long... coals flare up, meat is fried too long, etc.

What can be taken as a buffet in the morning:

• ready-made sandwiches
• pasties with savory and sweet fillings
• spring rolls
• pieces of fried meat in breadcrumbs or round flat patties (suitable for making hamburgers)
• fresh and salted vegetables
• washed fruits
• tea, coffee, juices

2.

For the grill menu

Of course, on a birthday in nature, you want to see such treats that do not happen during home feasts.

There are so many marinade recipes that I won't dare to describe them here, I'll just remind you what can be cooked on the grill. nine0003

• meat skewers
• chicken skewers (by the way, there is a charming children's recipe without vinegar, and the semi-finished product can be made at home and heated on a fire right in foil. Children always want everything quickly)
• fish on a grill
• seafood
• baked vegetables (zucchini, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers)
• fish soup or meat sauce with herbs can be cooked in a pot
• pilaf

3. Don't forget:

• drinking water in small bottles
• juices
• bread, rolls, biscuits
• ketchup and mustard
• salt, sugar, spices
• disposable dishes and tablecloths
• good knives, ladle, skimmer
• corkscrew
• wet wipes •
• silicone bags
gloves to wash your hands less often
• a set of skewers and a grate
• a folding grill, charcoal
• a means for quick ignition

• disposable foil trays for ready-made shish kebabs and vegetables
• folding furniture or inflatable chairs
• raincoats
• spare clothes for children
• mosquito repellent
• rolls of foil and cling film to cover products from flies and wasps
• first-aid kit with plaster, peroxide, painkillers
• compact tent (if they do not start playing in it children, you can put all the bags, packages and backpacks in the tent, which always spoil the natural landscape with their appearance and spoil all the photos)

We decorate the cottage (clearing, gazebo)!

There are ready-made paper decorations that can be turned into balloons, stars and pompoms in a couple of seconds. nine0003

Finished paper decorations

Here's the thing. All these decorations are quite LARGE and not much is needed to decorate a room. The price is very cozy, they are sold folded and very easy to fold, in just a couple of seconds. Evaluate my work, I devoted a separate article to each type of decoration:

Here is a selection of articles with examples:

An article on how to hang and combine accordion balls with it (many examples).

I wrote more about ready-made paper pompoms in this article.

Buy pom-poms in different colors HERE.

Examples of solid star decoration.

Multi-colored paper pompoms-tassels are also a great decoration, see pictures

What a beauty, look!

Buy Here.

Do you know what forfeits are? These are fans for decoration. Adore! nine0003

Buy a set of forfeits in different sizes and colors HERE.

Entertaining guests!

Now we are talking about a family holiday, but there may be options here:

  1. adults of different generations from 18 to 90 years old gathered
  2. there are many young families with small children from 1 to 9 years old at the festival
  3. families with children from 1 to 17 years old came to visit you
  4. there are no small children, but there are teenagers aged 12-17 who are bored in an adult company

Agree, in each of these cases the program should be different.

Free scenarios for children and teenagers

  • Here is a list of competitions for children from 1 to 13 years old.
  • Complete scripts for children's quests (especially suitable for the cottage quest "The Cave of Three Parrots")
  • Compilation of prizes for participation in competitions
  • Competitions for 12-14 years old
  • Board games: high-quality cards for the games Crocodile, Mafia, Alias, Svintus, etc. nine0008

Ready-made scenarios with printed task cards

Now on sale are very interesting sets for children and teenagers with quests “in a box”. The bottom line is that you only need to read the instructions and come up with a place where you can hide the gift. Everything else children find in the set. Here is an example of such a quest.

[yw_buy id=662956926 view=1]
