Juggle your “responsibilities.”
Category: Hunts
All GISH events, organized by year.
Item 65 – Gingerbread Climate Change
Climate change affects everyone, even the Gingerbread community. The frosting ice-caps are melting and milk storms are wreaking havoc on the cookie lands. Show us how they Gingerbread villagers are coping with (or solving) the issue.
Item 64 – Kitchen Stonehenge
Stonehenge wasn’t a druidic temple, an amphitheater, or a cosmic calendar; it was an unfinished construction project. Create what you think Stonehenge was going to be before funding ran out, using materials found in your kitchen.
Item 62 – GISHCORP Zippable Egg
Nothing’s more annoying than cracking an egg over the campfire and getting shells in the pan. But now with new, patent-pending GISHCORP Zippable Eggs, it’s no longer a problem! The zipper must go around the circumference of a real eggshell and really work to open and close the shell and release real egg yolk and whites.
Item 60 – Bury Your Feelings
They say you shouldn’t bury your feelings, but in this case, we’ll make an exception. Bury your anger or frustration and give it a proper funeral. – Misha’s Mom
Item 55 – Team Sitcom Opening Credits
(Up to 30 Seconds) Don’t touch that dial! Make a cheesy, 80’s-style sit-com “opening credits” video of your team.
Item 54 – Underwater Camping
Anyone can camp in the middle of the forest, but with wildfire season at a high, that’s just too risky, and campgrounds are too crowded. Pitch your tent underwater to be safe! We want to see it all: a tent, cooler, sleeping bags… and, of course, a lone camper, roasting marshmallows over a “campfire.”
Item 52 – VOTE Land Art
(TIMELAPSE) Write the word “VOTE” as land art, at least 100 meters long. The message may be mowed or plowed if it’s land typically used in such a fashion, or you may use found objects or though any other means of land art, but your artwork must not damage the ecosystem or impact protected land. If you want to get creative, your message may be any pro-voting text or image. Take a video filmed from a drone that starts close to the ground and the text only becomes clear when the drone reaches a certain altitude. Post it online tagging @WhenWeAllVote and #GISHOutTheVote, then submit the video and your link to us.
Item 51 – 24-Carrot Ring
Present your significant other with a beautifully hand-cut, dramatic, 24-carrot ring. That is not a typo. – Dave L.
Item 50 – #GISHEpicPoems
Every Gisher has the soul of an epic poet, and we can prove it. Each member of your team should write one line of an epic poem on social media about overcoming hardship so that it flows brilliantly as a cohesive piece.
The Captain of your team should post this as the first line of your poem: “We’ve got work to do… #GISHEpicPoems”
Then, each active member of your team should chime in with a subsequent line (and ONLY one line) of poetry in a threaded post, each tagging #GISHEpicPoems.
At the end, the Captain should post: “But nothing ever really ends… does it? #GISHEpicPoems” and tag another team to continue the thread.
If your team is tagged by another team, continue the thread with Step A.
Your poem may not be about any fandom or feature any pop culture characters. Submit an image of your finished poem and then also submit it HERE in text. (If any of your teammates cannot access your team’s chosen platform due to censorship or restrictions in their country of origin, and you have no other social media platform options that are fully inclusive, the Team Captain may post the line they have authored in their stead and tag it with the author’s username.)
