GISHWHES:

What is GISHWHES you ask?

Why it’s the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen!

"This is the brain child of the mad but often hilarious Misha Collins. Better known for his portrayal as 'Castiel' on the hit series “Supernatural”, Misha Collins started a charity called Random Acts. This scavenger hunt was a way to raise money for the charity since participants had to pay a minimum of $10 to register. The winning team receives a special reward to be shared with Misha." - TV Affairs Entertainment Article, 2011

In January 2011, Misha Collins ran a scavenger hunt known as the Rhino Puzzle for fans around the world. At its conclusion he promised to run another scavenger hunt which is GISHWHES - the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen. Misha tantalised fans about the project with an enigmatic video released in September 2011.

 

Misha had consulted with the Guinness Book of World records, and to win the record for the 'Worlds Biggest Digital Scavenger Hunt' and discovered 500 teams were required to participate. In the end over 6,200 participants from 65 countries signed up to form 621 teams of 10 people. Entry fee was a donation of minimum $10, or an essay to a topic dictated by Misha. The Competition now hold the Guinness Book of Records record for the largest photo scavenger hunt.
