Another co-conspirator to the GISHWHES phenomena, Miss Jean Louis, spent several years as a backup dancer for John Jacobson (of “Double Dream Hands” fame) but found the job to be unfulfilling. After a few years of working as a banana farmer, she found her true calling and retrained as a dental hygienist. When that didn't work out, Miss Jean Louis again turned to the world of bananas for solace, until meeting Mr. Misha Collins at BananaCon'96. It was this random and brief connection over a deluxe banana split that would catapult her career track into overdrive in the coming years.

GishwhesPicture1-8.png

Gishwhes is a massive global scavenger Hunt that is part silliness, part art, part kindness and 100% fun.

– GISHWHES, Source

G.I.S.H.W.H.E.S (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen) is a scavenger hunt hosted by Misha Collins.


Origins

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. The items to be collected were to be submitted via pictures, videos or websites.

Misha tantalised fans about the project with an enigmatic video released in September 2011 on the original website gishwhes.com.

Another co-conspirator to the GISHWHES phenomena, Miss Jean Louis, spent several years as a backup dancer for John Jacobson (of “Double Dream Hands” fame) but found the job to be unfulfilling. After a few years of working as a banana farmer, she found her true calling and retrained as a dental hygienist. When that didn't work out, Miss Jean Louis again turned to the world of bananas for solace, until meeting Mr. Misha Collins at BananaCon'96. It was this random and brief connection over a deluxe banana split that would catapult her career track into overdrive in the coming years.
