I've wanted to participate in this for a few years now. I want to see if we can get a team of 15 put together to make this happen. If we don't get 15, they'll add people to the team to get us to the number. People anywhere in the world can participate!

What is gishwhes
GISHWHES is a 5-time Guinness World Record breaking scavenger hunt hosted by Misha Collins. Thousands of participants from more than 100 countries are placed on 15-person teams and for one week, through laughter, sweat and tears (of joy of course), they acquire Items on a wild and jaw-dropping scavenger hunt list. The team that scavenges the most items with the highest quality of submissions joins Misha Collins on an all-expenses paid trip to an exotic locale. Prior Winners journeyed to Rome, a haunted castle in Scotland and British Columbia. This year the Winning Team will be joining Misha Collins and his favorite Spider Monkey to Costa Rica for volcanos, rainforests and gishwhes-style discotecking (we’re not sure what this is, but pictures will be posted!).
The Items are “captured” as videos or images and uploaded to this website to memorialize the annual Gishwhes experience and to supply the judges with something to judge. The more sublime and creative a submission, the more points awarded. Items range from the sweet and touching, “perform a sock puppet show at a children’s hospital” to the weirdly sublime, “a fully dressed storm trooper cleaning a pool next to a sunbather.”
We try to create a list that is challenging, thrilling and absurd. We like to see items that make us tear-up and laugh out loud. We like to have participants break out of their comfort zones, humiliate themselves a bit and do a bit of good in the world. We’re proud to have broken several Guinness World Records including: the most global hugs, 108,121; most pledges to commit charitable Acts of Kindness, 93,376, which we did in partnership with our friends at the non-profit Random Acts (www.therandomact.org); and of course, let’s not forget the prestigious Longest Safety Pin Chain – over a mile long! We’ve also: delivered thousands of items to the homeless; raised the money to completely furnish every room of a home for a wounded veteran and his family (we’ll be posting videos for this soon!); had a Mars rock named after us by NASA; made Christmas trees fly; and have been reported on by news organizations around the world, including Al Jazeera.
See our Updates Page for more details – and begin to prep yourselves as the Hunt is nigh!
Gishwhes believes that “normalcy” is overrated and that true “living” can be found hidden under the rocks of community artistic creation, acts of artistic sublime public performances, and random acts of kindness. More importantly, we are all artists and have gifts for society no matter what our capabilities or talents. And most importantly, we at GISHWHES want you to know the most important thing we’ve learned in the past four years: it is almost impossible to make durable clothing from cheese.
I'll do it. I'm registering now. Do you want me to put your e-mail in as having referred me so that you are entered for the drawing?
SWEET! yeah, you can add my email: krissyjo@gmail.com
Thanks
I'm all signed up! My husband might be interested in joining too, but he's not sure yet. Do you know how long the registration is open? I couldn't find a deadline on the site.
It just opened, so I'm sure it'll be a while before it's closed. The hunt is in August so there's time. I've been looking through the site and checking out past lists to start thinking of ideas

I went home and showed this to the kid. She's a huge Supernatural fangirl and has apparently heard about this before. I figured when I mentioned Misha Collins she'd automatically be in. I'll sign both of us up by Saturday.
We still have room on our team if you'd like to join us! They're going to start assigning random people to the team to bring it to 15 soon, so if you want in on my team, sign up this week!!!
