Let’s see you Zoom an acapella concert of you and some or all of your teammates doing perfectly synchronized (meaning you all start at the same moment) ‘gargling’ of milk for exactly 10 seconds of whatever your national anthem might be. – Inspired by Ashtynn A.

Submissions from the GISH 1-Day Play-at-Home Scavenger Hunt, held during the COVID-19 Pandemic in May 2020.
Item 26 – Penny Aphorism
A penny for your thoughts! Coin a phrase. In as beautiful a display as is humanly possible when you’re limited to your home, “write” out the next optimistic aphorism or mantra everyone will be saying after the pandemic. Your message should be spelled out entirely in coins.
Item 25 – Baked Cadaver
There’s no reason the stay-at-home order should slow down your medical career pursuits. Create an aspic or Jello-fruit mold, or baked item made to look like an open ‘cadaver’ or part of a ‘cadaver’. We should be able to see ‘organs’ in the carcass.
Item 24 – Driveway Drive-In Theater
COVID Driveway drive-in theater.- Benjamin
Item 23 – Mundane Amazon Review
Screenshot. You bought something on Amazon that changed your life. You are simply a changed person now that you have this product. Write the review of how nothing will ever be the same. The only catch, the item must be very common, and very mundane. Paper towels, toothbrushes, that sort of thing. You can screenshot your review before submitting, if you must, but we will checking every review individually using advanced artificially intelligent ferns.
Item 22 – Hero vs COVID
Let’s see a picture of your favorite hero (real-life or fictional) destroying the evil COVID. You may use any medium you like – pencils, paints, Photoshop, pet hair…
Item 21 – Book Cover Dress-Up
Dress up like a character on a book cover and set up your environment so it’s a perfect replica of the book cover, except for one catch: the original book you’re replicating is also in your photo where we can clearly see it. – Inspired by Victoria M.
Item 20 – Socially-Distanced Olympic Games
The Summer Olympics got canceled, but that doesn’t keep a focused athlete like you down. Show us your entry in the Socially-Distanced Games in an event like stick-pony equestrian jumping, toilet tissue rhythmic gymnastics, gift-wrap tube fencing, indoor bedsheet ‘skiing’, channel surfing, the long bed-jump, kitchen-table tennis, or other event — you get the idea. Take the gold.
Item 19 – House Travel Ad
Your home is more than your castle. It’s swiftly becoming a sovereign nation, and like every nation, it needs a tourism board. Create a one-page brochure or video advertising travel to your house as a coveted destination.
This submission was featured on the GISH Hall of Fame 2020 May Mini Hunt!
Item 18 – Tsukumogami
STOP-MOTION. In Japanese culture, there is the belief that after 100 years of service, objects receive a soul and become self-aware, a ‘tsukumogami.’ So after all that time, they deserve a vacation. Personify an object in your house and take it on an incredible virtual or real adventure (something like this, but you can’t do THIS exact thing now).
