Birthdays: Happy Birthday to....
Today is...NATIONAL SCAVENGER HUNT DAY | MAY 24
National Scavenger Hunt Day on May 24th each year sends us off to find random items all in the name of good fun.
#ScavengerHuntDay
American gossip columnist, 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.
The game challenges teams to scavenge for a list of odd items. As part of the rules, participants are not allowed to buy the objects. Depending on where the hunt takes place, players may have to beg, barter, or even work for them, too. Some scavenger hunts add difficulty to the game by adding riddles describing each item. The team with the most items, or the first to complete the list, wins.
