The original name is "Where's Wally". The American version was renamed for the American audience when it was exported there, so you could argue it's "Where's Wally" for the educated.
Apparently it took heavy inspiration from the book Where's Wallace? by Hilary Knight, so we can all be wrong. Wallace was a red headed orangutan so IMO a much better search and find reward than that sneaky fuck Waldo/Wally.
I've had missing children reports at large fantasy events and they would be 40% "Bobby is wearing a black shirt with a knight costume and plastic sword", 40% Anna is wearing a pink dress and scarf, with a magic wand".
Reeeeeally narrows it down!
The other ones would be hyper specific outfits and only the fans know, like "Joey is dressed like Flognip the Enmagicer from Flognip visits the Elves".

Broooo who would actually let their kids dress up as Flognip??? That's super problematic. Did they even watch the show?
