=== Historical accounts ===

The first game has been documented through interviews with participants and retrospective reporting.

A 2018 WBUR investigation interviewed surviving participants and compared their recollections with earlier published accounts.[2]

The investigation identified discrepancies concerning the origins of the idea, the acquisition of equipment and details of the first game.

These differences demonstrate the importance of distinguishing contemporary evidence from later recollections.
