Global Impact of Scav

Actor Misha Collins loved Scav as an undergrad. He enjoyed the whole experience – the ingenuity, the teamwork, the confidence building, and especially the subversive tone of the list. His Scav experiences inspired him to create the Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen (GISHWHES, later shortened to GISH). From 2011 to 2020, he enlisted his sizeable international social media following to participate in GISH. Proceeds supported charitable endeavors, namely the work of Random Acts—the nonprofit Misha founded in 2010.

“GISH challenged hundreds of thousands of people in over 110 countries to create art, positive mayhem, and a lasting difference in the world. Together, GISH participants raised millions of dollars for charities and amassed eight Guinness World Records—all while encouraging people to push their personal boundaries, create bizarre art, and make a game out of doing good.” -- gish.com [110 philanthro-points]
