Elsa Maxwell, author, 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 must search for a list of odd items in the game. Participants are not allowed to purchase the items as part of the regulations. Players can be required to beg, barter, or even work for them, depending on where the hunt takes place. Some scavenger hunts add to the game by including riddles describing each item. Wins are distributed among the team with the most items or the first to complete the list.
