About scavenger Hunts
Scavenge means to take or gather (something usable) from discarded
material or to cleanse of filth, as a street.
A scavenger hunt is a game in which individuals or teams are sent out to
accumulate, without purchasing, a series of common, outlandish, or humorous
objects, the winner being the person or team earning the most points,
usually by returning first with all or the most items. Wealthy and fashionable Americans,
only a small percentage of whom actually played the
game, originated the term in 1930–40 period, after the first shock of the
depression subsided but before the pre-war economic recovery set in.

Electricka's way
Electricka's scavenger hunts are the electronic equivalent of traditional
ones. Be assured, however, that you will not be asked to find a "forgotten
man" (see
My Man
Godfrey). Here's how to play Electricka's way:

the world of arts games and gaming
Interest in games and the world of games has
never been higher. In America, Japan, England, Western Europe, and
elsewhere around the world billions of dollars and millions of man-hours
are being spent by game makers and players on gaming pursuits.
Traditional
kinds of games such as board games and crossword puzzles continue to be
played, as in the past; meanwhile, new automated games are being cranked out at
unprecedented rates. These games employ some of the most sophisticated
technology available to the public. Gross retail sales of mass market
automated games now exceed that for home computers. But strangely, the
muses play almost no role in this massive undertaking.
Wouldn't you like to know more about this fascinating world and its
connection with the arts? Wouldn't you like to see the arts have a greater
presence in this fast-changing yet perennial world? Wouldn't you like to have a role in
steering this world in the direction of the arts?

the arts games information clearinghouse
Electricka believes there should be more art in games. To help bring this
about, she has created The Arts Games Information Clearinghouse and
designated it a focal point for the collection and dissemination of
information about arts-related games and the world of arts games and
gaming. The purpose of the Clearinghouse is to help create change favoring the
arts in the world of arts games
and gamers.
Its goals are to:
- Facilitate information exchange among gamers and gaming institutions
interested in furthering the arts thorough gaming or furthering gaming
through the arts.
- Encourage appropriate agencies and individuals to increase the number
and quality of games about the arts.
- Provide information that will improve the public's access to
arts-related games.
- Stimulate interest in arts-related games
and gaming among those who now follow the muses and among those who do not
follow the muses.
- Change for the better the way gamers and gaming institutions think of
and treat the arts.
Electricka urges everyone interested in playing games and the promoting
the arts to join in.

ETAF Recommends
One of the best examples of scavenger hunts in
Hollywood movies of that era is the delightful 1936 screwball romantic
comedy, My Man Godfrey, starring William Powell as Godfrey, the ex
rich man turned butler, and Carole Lombard as Irene Bullock, his fabulously
wealthy and zany nemesis who eventually turns love mate.
