As I am typing this, GISHWHES 2013 is in it's final moments. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little sad that it is over. I have had such an amazing time this week. Some items took me far out of my comfort zone and some just further showed people how big of a goof I am. There are a few things I am certain of - I am ending this week with more friends and more confidence in myself and humanity as a whole.
Just over a week ago, I received my first e-mail from one of my teammates, Hannah. No time was wasted in creating a team Facebook page for Unicornassbutts. Many of us joined in on Skype team calls as we nervously awaited the revealing of the list. Seven days ago, our little team of 14 strangers began the journey of being involved in the greatest international scavenger hunt the world has ever seen. The United States, Canada and Mexico had to deal with our shenanigans. We enlisted the help of friends, family and strangers to complete list items. In seven days, all participants of GISHWHES collectively broke two more Guinness World Records, bringing the GISHWHES world record count to five. Not bad for something that has only been around for three years.
Just for funsies, here is a list of the records held by Misha Collins & GISHWHES:
1. Largest media scavenger hunt (2011)
2. Broke their own record for the largest media scavenger hunt (2012)
3. Most charitable pledges for random acts of kindness. Nearly 100,000 pledges (2012)
4. Longest safety pin chain.. unofficial (2013)
5. Largest online album of hugs.. unofficial (2013)
Item #28 "Dress up as a robot and go to work"
Our personal team robot, Silkia
I am having a hard time summing GISHWHES up. There is not a proper amount of words to do so. Our team not only did some amazing things, but did them so well that battle wounds were acquired. Allergic reactions, burning eyeballs, possible surgery for an ankle injury. Really, guys. GISHWHES is intense in so many ways.
Item #114 "Create a portrait of Chris Hardwick out of dried fruit"
Made by Cristina
I've gotten permission from my teammates to share about our experience. We had to wait until after the hunt to post any images or videos for the public to see. That was to protect us from other teams being cheater cheater pumpkin eaters and stealing ideas. Some of us had some lows with being told "no" when asking for help or permission to do items, but team UnicornAssbutts takes that with a grain of salt and came back more determined. Out of 155 items, our team completed 90 of them. I thought it would be fun to see what items were favorites among the team.
