There’s no reason the stay-at-home order should slow down your medical career pursuits. Create an aspic or Jello-fruit mold, or baked item made to look like an open ‘cadaver’ or part of a ‘cadaver’. We should be able to see ‘organs’ in the carcass.

Item 17 – Renaissance Pandemic Chalk Drawing
SIDE-BY-SIDE. Recreate a famous Renaissance painting on a concrete driveway or the side of a building using chalk. The ‘painting’ must be altered in some way to include something related to the pandemic: a portrait could be wearing a mask.
Item 13 – GISH Virtual Travel Enterprises
Despite our ingenious use of Amazon boxes in our first mini-Hunt, we know your homes are still stuffed with empty, useless boxes. Let’s repurpose them while giving a huge gift to your neighborhood: the gift of virtual travel. Using scissors, tape, coloring, and your ingenuity, create an internationally-recognized building, statue or monument and place it somewhere in your neighborhood (even if it’s simply in your yard or in front of your building) so people can enjoy beautiful tourist architecture without ever leaving the block. Take a picture with you sitting in front of it holding a sign saying ‘GISH VIRTUAL TRAVEL ENTERPRISES’.
Item 12 – Home Adventure Map
Our homes and neighborhoods are our entire world right now, but that shouldn’t stop us from having adventures – and every adventure starts with an epic, Tolkein-style adventure map. Create an adventure map of your home (including your yard, if you have one) – including the light and the dark places. – Monica D.
Item 6 – Tea Leaf Dinosaur
Tea-Rex! Create an image of a T-rex or other dinosaur made entirely of tea leaves. – Amalie T.W.
Item 4 – POC Solidarity Sign
Last quarantine hunt we had people making signs to show appreciation for first responders and medical professionals. This Hunt, we would like to turn our attention to showing support to people of color whose lives are impacted or even lost because of the institutional racism in the American criminal justice system. Make a sign showing your solidarity for Black Lives Matter or in memory of George Floyd or other people of color impacted by racism and post it in your window or in your front yard.
Item 3 – Rice Words
SLO-MO. Mundobax’s Rice Words is a visual treat. Elevate the world: write a word using his methods to uplift others, but because we’re a no-waste hunt, please capture all that rice, cook it and eat it (I recommend trying to make congee, I always do when I’m trying to impress someone).
Item 2 – Racial Inequality Portrait
Create a portrait of one of the far too many black people who have been hurt or killed by racial inequality in America. It must be in black and white — no color and no shades of grey. Post it on social media along with a short description of who this person was and how their life was taken. Tag it #NotOneMore & #BlackLivesMatter. Upload your artwork (not a screenshot of your social media post) to the GISH website.
Item 1 – Foliage Crown
You know those videos where they pass around an object to a few different people and they each demonstrate a different imaginary or real use of that object? No? Well, it’s epic, but we can’t remember the name of it. Let’s “next level” this and do it on Zoom with some or all of your teammates. Virtually “pass” a ‘Foliage Crown or Hat’ around on zoom. Each headpiece must be different and they all must be wearable. The first person to pass something should just be handing off a handful of weeds. Every person thereafter should “receive” a different headpiece, put it on, take it off and ‘pass’ it to the next person in the Zoom.
Item 53 – COVID Hug
Since we can no longer give each other big, warm, cuddly hugs, it’s time we invent the official hug or hug routine of social distancing. Props, noises, physical impossibiliites… they are all welcome. Let’s see two people warmly “embracing” each other with “the new COVID hug” (obviously from a distance of at least 6 feet).
