Elsa Maxwell, author, singer, songwriter, and professional hostess Elsa Maxwell (May 24, 1883 – November 1, 1963) is credited with the introduction of the scavenger hunt for use as a party game in the modern era.
Teams are compelled to search for a list of odd items by a game's theme. Participants are not allowed to buy the items as part of the legislation. Players may have to beg, barter, or even work for them, depending on where the hunt takes place. Some scathing hunts add to the game by including riddles describing each item. The team with the most items, or the first to complete the list, wins.
