REGISTRATION ends Sunday, 7/27! <--Register here. GISHWHES stands for the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen will be happening Aug 2 - Aug 9, 2014. When you register, be sure to put my email, "terresa.ling@gmail.com" as the referring email, so we can get extra entries into the contest. If you want to join my team, it is called, "TerresaLing.com" Good luck and have fun! Terresa =)
GISHWHES is a 5-time Guinness World Record breaking scavenger hunt hosted by Misha Collins. Thousands of participants from more than 100 countries are placed on 15-person teams and for one week, through laughter, blood, sweat and tears, they acquire Items on a wild and jaw-dropping scavenger hunt list. The team that scavenges the most items with the highest quality of submissions joins Misha Collins on an all-expenses paid trip to an exotic locale. Prior Winners journeyed to Rome, a haunted castle in Scotland and British Columbia.
Remember Castiel from Supernatural? That's Misha Collins!
The Items are “captured” as videos or images and uploaded to this website to memorialize the annual Gishwhes experience and to supply the judges with something to judge. The more sublime and creative a submission, the more points awarded. Items range from the sweet and touching, “perform a sock puppet show at a children’s hospital” to the weirdly sublime, “a fully dressed storm trooper cleaning a pool next to a sunbather.”
We try to create a list that is challenging, thrilling and absurd. We like to see items that make us tear-up and laugh out loud. We like to have participants break out of their comfort zones, humiliate themselves a bit and do a bit of good in the world. We’re proud to have broken several Guinness World Records including: the most global hugs, 108,121; most pledges to commit charitable Acts of Kindness, 93,376, which we did in partnership with our friends at the non-profit Random Acts (www.therandomact.org); and of course, let’s not forget the prestigious Longest Safety Pin Chain - over a mile long! We’ve also, delivered thousands of items to the homeless, completely furnished every room of a home for a wounded veteran and his family, been reprimanded by NASA, made Christmas trees fly and have been reported on by news organizations around the world, including Al Jazeera.
The winning team last year was VaticanCameos. This year they joined Misha in British Columbia for a chartered sea plane adventure and a Viking seance. The year before that, the winning team - Badwolf - was flown to Scotland with Misha to stay in a Haunted Castle.
This year’s Hunt begins August 2. Registration opens in June. See our Updates Page for more details.
Gishwhes believes that “normalcy” is overrated and that true “living” can be found hidden under the rocks of community artistic creation and in acts of artistic sublime public performances. More importantly, we are all artists and have gifts for society no matter what our capabilities or talents. And most importantly, we at GISHWHES want you to know the most important thing we’ve learned in the past four years: it is almost impossible to make durable clothing from cheese.
Show that dogs can read too! Make a dress out of watermelon!??
Watch at least toward the middle where they start showing the types of hunts during the scavenger
