GISHWHES kicked off on Saturday night, and there are a little over 600 teams, consisting of 10 people each. For the most part the team members don’t know each other, and they’re spread out all over the world. Which is handy, since scavenger hunt items require pictures or video taken in locations from Barcelona to South Korea, from the Dead Sea to the Yangtze. And the items range from the relatively simple (“an arousing photograph of toe cleavage”) to the probably impossible (“a tent pitched in the middle of the back yard of the White House”). All entries have to be original and unique (nothing found on the Internet) and the organizers swear they can spot a photoshop job a mile away.
You can view the entire list of items here, but here are some of the more geeky/interesting ones, along with point values:
The prize for the winning team is a trip to Rome and dinner with Misha. It’s too late to sign up for the hunt, but if you’re dying to contribute (who doesn’t want to photograph themselves walking around Peru dressed as a penguin?), this [GAS] writer may know someone who’s participating. Or you could just take to Twitter and offer your services, as I imagine there are some teams desperately seeking assistance, particularly if you’re the Duke of Luxemburg, or an actor on a CW show with access to a Justin Bieber tshirt.
