The GISHWHES List - Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen!

A few weeks back, you might have noticed that I posted about GISHWHES, the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen!  I signed up and took part in it for a week, met some incredible people across the nation and had fun! I hope that for next year, we will have enough time to create a team that will dominate and win the hunt together.  

You must all be very curious what some of the items are on the list, so here they are!
If you attempt any of the items below, I would love to see your masterpieces - tweet or instagram @ terresaling!

Enjoy,
Terresa =)

GISHWHES 2014 LIST

  1. IMAGE. I’m certain the elderly love mud wrestling, but they must do it in private because I never see it! Let’s fix this. Catch your grandparents or great grandparents in a mud-wrestling match.61 POINTSSubmit
  2. VIDEO (20 seconds). You (and a friend if you wish) enlist with a local volunteer organization and have yourself filmed doing one of the following: planting a tree, working at a food bank or soup-kitchen, collecting trash, or helping out at a retirement facility. You must be wearing something that shows you seriously know how to party.51 POINTSSubmit
  3. IMAGE. It’s “me time.” Spoil, pamper and be decadent to yourself like you never have before. Oh, and P.S., you’re dressed as a Stormtrooper.48 POINTSSubmit
  4. VIDEO or IMAGE. Clearly your bicycle is underwhelming you with its current performance. Convert your bicycle into a warp-speed spacecraft. Ride it.41 POINTSSubmit
  5. IMAGE. You and your four friends are a five-headed monster with all of your heads poking out of one collar of a giant shirt. Now do yard work.32 POINTSSubmit
  6. IMAGE or VIDEO. As GISHWHES certainly isn’t all about dog-eat-dog competition, find someone on another GISHWHES team and surprise them with an act of thoughtful generosity. Make us tear up. We must see the team name or Username of the individual you are helping.66 POINTSSubmit
  7. IMAGE. Find an object that you’re holding onto for all the wrong reasons. Destroy it mightily.17 POINTSSubmit

  13. IMAGE. Time flies like a Wooster gone wild. There’s someone in your life - an older family member or an older friend - that will someday be gone.

Get one of these actors to post a photo on Twitter or FB of them holding your team’s painted paper-mache creation of their likeness. (I understand that what I just wrote was grammatically cumbersome. If you have a hard time understanding what I just wrote, don’t be hard on yourself, you’re not the only one. Join a support group. Just to be clear the image with the celebrity is the GISHWHES item here, not the support group. The support group is just for you.)65 POINTSSubmit

  21. VIDEO (20 seconds). Get everyone on a subway, bus or train car to sing “Over the River and Through the Woods.” There must be at least 8 passengers and it must not be staged (i.e. this must be a random collection of commuters, not your friends).77 POINTSSubmit

  58. IMAGE. Register to be a bone marrow donor: you could save a child’s life or someone’s mom’s life. As a sign of solidarity on this item, I (Misha) pledge to register to be a bone-marrow donor myself during the week of the hunt. This item requires you filling out a form, receiving a “cheek swab test” in the mail, and mailing it back in. The registration process cannot be completed in just one week, but if you show us the photo of your online registration confirmation or email, you will qualify for points on this item. ONLY do this item if you’re serious about going through with the whole process. There are certain requirements, which you must meet (for example, if you are too overweight or have certain health or psychological issues, you cannot be a donor). Also, before proceeding, you should know that the process is much more involved than donating blood. So, if you choose to do this item, don’t lie about your weight, health or willingness to follow through. If, in the future, you do get selected as a donor match (a very very very slim chance - on average less than 1/2 of 1%), and you turn it down, you will be incurring terrible karma and may be harming someone and their family. Even though we consider this one of the more valuable items on the list we are assigning a low point value to it. Really this item is not about points, it’s about trying to help a stranger. We need to see a screenshot of your application. Each application will be worth 3 points. If you edit several screenshots into one image of you and your teammate’s applications, we will grant 3 points for each application for up to 10 applications making this item worth between 3 and 30 points.3 POINTSSubmit

(It can be multiple images photoshopped into one submission).52 POINTSSubmit
  62. IMAGE. Office art. The boss is away. Take this treasured time to create a beautiful, museum-worthy sculpture in your cubical comprised entirely of company office supplies. If the artist in you feels it is imperative to use a coworker as a base or as an integral part of the piece of work, go ahead and indulge. The world deserves it.39 POINTSSubmit
  63. VIDEO. A brass band quartet performing “Carry On My Wayward Son” from a median strip, while commuter cars are stuck in terrible traffic.59 POINTSSubmit

The video is of the barrista announcing your drink and your absurd name.40 POINTSSubmit

(Hint: Don’t visit the site before that exact time, as it will give the servers time to take on the load.)65 POINTSSubmit
  124. IMAGE. If Jensen Ackles, Jared Padelecki, Misha Collins, or Mark Sheppard were part man/part animal, what would it look like and what would its name be?

  161. VIDEO (20 seconds).

Get me to buy a timeshare? I avoid them.

Hold a sign on a busy public sidewalk that reads, “Free Hugs.” Enthusiastically attempt to recruit hug-victims.98 POINTSSubmit
  174. IMAGE. Find 19 year-old Alex Wedow and have him make you a “Mega Ice Cream Sundae.” He’ll know what you mean. Then eat the whole thing.

  180. IMAGE. This is an item, the outcome of which, will rear its head later and you may have an opportunity to participate in something very strange and wonderful: complete workable architectural drawings for a beautiful, 9 foot by 9 foot, post and beam, open-air teahouse of redwood construction. The teahouse is to be built on an existing 9’X9’ concrete pad. The structure must be designed to be comfortable and accessible to humans, must require no plumbing or electrical, have no doors (just an open entrance), and instead of windows, just openings. Design must call for no nails or screws, only mortises, tenons and pegs (with steel bolts to tie it to the slab).115 POINTSSubmit
  181. VIDEO (20 seconds). The 1980s were great for break-dancing and neon clothing. Remember the “backspin?” Have a junker car do a “backspin” (upside down) on a piece of cardboard set to 1980s rap. The car must have some neon decoration.167 POINTSSubmit

  183. VIDEO or IMAGE. Last year, NASA used their official twitter account to politely ask us to stop bothering the astronauts on the space station. NASA has undoubtedly spent the past 12 months regretting this hastily-made decision, so we are giving them a second chance to get in on the fun… Get “GISHWHES conquers space” or “GISHWHES [insert other clever phrase]” written on or in something orbiting in space. 400 points if an astronaut poses with the inscription. No photoshopping allowed! A couple of teams cheated last year on the space item and were disqualified.289 POINTSSubmit
  184. IMAGE. Design a sci-fi movie poster with the stars played by Misha Collins and the Queen of England. You may not use existing altered media images. It must be drawn or painted (digitally painted is acceptable). - Jenn Kirschner.62 POINTSSubmit
  185. IMAGE. Get “GISHWHES” spelled out at night by using the effect of lit and unlit office windows in a skyscraper. We must be able to clearly see the word and it must span at least 30 stories.
