* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: According to Ann Durell's introduction, this is how Raskin wrote all her books: "...I didn't know what it [''The Westing Game''] would be about, because Ellen didn't know herself. She said that if she knew what was going to happen in a book, she would be too bored to write it. The carrot for her was [[IJustWriteTheThing watching the plot unfold]]. And, yes, she invented that incredibly complex plot of clues within clues as she went along. What a mind she had!"

* AuthorUsurpation: Originally [[SheAlsoDid known only as an illustrator]], Raskin went on to write several quite simplistic children's books; however, she blew everyone's minds with this one, to the point that other than ''The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel)'', very few readers [[OneBookAuthor would ever know she had written anything else]]. Sadly, it was also her last book due to her untimely death from a connective tissue disease, so that whether or not any later works might have equaled it in popularity, this novel remains her defining work.

!!The book
* TechnologyMarchesOn: Westing's game simply wouldn't have been workable in the internet era. Most teams' sets of clues would cough up the right connection on page one of a Google search.
!!The TV movie
* TechnologyMarchesOn: Chris' main hobby has changed from birdwatching to computing. He and Turtle have a special program for compiling out the clues they collect, and some of the book's ChessMotifs become incorporated in a virtual chess game between Chris and [[spoiler:Sam Westing]]. Many of these updated details have themselves become dated since the movie was made.
