About
This E! Network series could be described as part game show and part athletic competition, but really it is just an excuse for a lot of silly fun in the sunshine. Filmed at beach resort locations in Florida, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico and Australia, Search Party puts together celebrities and E! viewers in ridiculous team sports, the messier the better, and sends them off among the tourists and locals on scavenger hunts in search of bizarre items and even more bizarre behavior.
