Global International Scavenger Hunt (GISH)

GISH is a worldwide phenomena that many people we know in the trivia world enjoy.  It is essentially a giant, week-long scavenger hunt in which teams compete to complete a long list of strange items (such as make a video singing a duet with a librarian or make a full size model of yourself out of a foodstuff). We've been sort of interested before, but it seems like a big commitment. Last weekend, however, GISH announced a one-day stay-at-home hunt which seemed to be just our speed. I had been starting to gather a team when we were invited by Claire Sattler (reigning teen jeopardy! champion) to join her team. Since you need 15 people and this was our first GISH, we happily agreed. We took on 6 items: knit a replica of a can't-lose household item; let a child cut your hair; have a child feed you with a 6+ foot implement; have the youngest person teach the oldest person a dance and make a side-by-side video of you doing them; create a camouflage hiding place from your child; and deliver a note of friendship by drone. Most of these were submitted by video, but here are a few pictures:
