One day, the idea came to mind to congratulate a friend on his birthday in an unusual way. We decided to organize a quest for him — he had to run around the city and complete all sorts of silly, awkward tasks in order to finally receive his gift. A search for "fun tasks for a game of charades" led to websites where everything was pretty much the same, so we had to sift through tons of comments on those articles, looking for original and funny tasks that other readers had come across.
If you want to organize a similar gift for your friends, or if you’ve played cards and your friend lost a bet, and you don't know what to ask them to do, we want to make your task easier and provide below some of the wishes we found online or came up with ourselves. We would be happy if you liked them and left a review or comment below. You can also share your own ideas, as this article will be regularly updated with the best suggestions! =)
So:
Our Favorite Tasks
- Dormitory
- With security guards
- Indoors
- In a crowded place
Our Favorite Tasks
- Take a photo with a homeless person and set it as your profile picture on social media.
- In an elevator, turn to the people and say, "You’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here?"
- At the store, buy a box of matches at the checkout and say to the cashier, "I’m planning to misbehave today."
- At the checkout, buy a small chocolate bar and a large pack of condoms with the words, "I’m feeling optimistic!"
- Call 10 unfamiliar numbers and convincingly offer products from Oriflame or something similar.
- At the movie theater, having already watched the film, stand in front of the audience, loudly tell the entire plot, and leave.
- Clean the floor in a public restroom.
- Perform a striptease in front of a security camera.
In the Dormitory
- Enter an unfamiliar room with a shovel, shirtless, and smeared with some unknown substance, knock on the ceiling, and say, "The sewage pipe burst up there... is everything okay?"
- Loudly burst into someone else's room with another person and start an intense fight between the two of you.
With the Security Guards
- Approach the female security guard wrapped in a blanket with a pot on your head, dramatically open your arms, and say, "Let us rejoice!"
- Call the security desk and ask, "Hello, is this phone sex?"
- Ask the security guard to lend you condoms until tomorrow.
- Bring a basin to the security desk, sit down in the middle of the hall to wash socks, and ask for laundry detergent.
- With a mask on your head, boldly try to carry a TV out from the security desk (or just walk by with a big bag).
Indoors
- Fall to your knees and confess three sins from your past to the guests.
- Subtly lick someone without the participants noticing.
- Pretend to be a tangerine addict trying to quit your addiction.
- Act like a caterpillar, crawling on the floor in a sleeping bag.
In a Crowded Place
- In a full elevator, perform the song "I Believe I Can Fly" just like Jim Carrey in the movie Fun with Dick and Jane.
- At a bus stop, shout to a just-arrived bus, "People, I love you!" Stand there, think for a moment, then add, "Oh no, I'm not going with you..."
- Convince five strangers to jump together while holding hands or dance a circle around you.
- In a café or restaurant, start introducing yourself to neighboring tables by sending over "compote from our table" or suggesting you swap dishes.
- At a bus stop, walk around in a waiter’s uniform, holding a tray, offering champagne to strangers.
- In a store, as a consultant approaches, loudly whisper to a nearby person: "Watch out, watch out!"
- Grab a few plastic bags (the more the better) from one store, go back to that store, and tell the salesperson/administrator that you want to return all the bags. To add to the absurdity, say something like, "I would like to terminate the contract and return all the bags."
- Go to a pharmacy and ask for ridiculous things from a list, such as snake scales or orangutan poison, claiming you need them for a potion.
