Hunt Item List

Welcome to Marleen's gish-ish birthday! Everyone is welcome to participate from their own home (as much or as little as they want to).

  • Starts: September 20
  • Ends: November 2, end of day in a time zone of your choosing
In the spirit of gish, there are no prizes other than the intrinsic satisfaction of having done one or several things. But when you complete a task, please help yourself to the meaningless points specified! As is customary, you'll have to keep track of your total points yourself.

1

43 POINTS

Finish at least ONE of these art pieces or craft projects that have been lying around unfinished (or even unbegun) for months or possibly decades.

2

27 POINTS

Go for a walk outside at a time when you usually don't. Like during sunrise or sunset, or at night to look at the stars. Take a photo of a beautiful plant if you find one.

3

19 POINTS

Create a scene with bell pepper faces. Funny, spooky... up to you!

4

21 POINTS

Make a hot beverage of your own creation that befits the season. It’s up to you whether this means using typical fall-appropriate ingredients or Halloween decoration or something else.

5

10 POINTS per country

Virtual High-Fives! Reach out to friends that you haven’t been in touch with for at least a year and send them a no-context high-five. How many different countries can you send high-fives to?

Points are awarded on a per-country basis.

6

52 POINTS

Movie Meal. Have a movie night with one of your favourite movies! Make sure to have a meal or snacks (or both) prepared ahead of time. You must eat the food at the same time as the movie characters! Submit one or several food selfies in front of the TV.

7

19 POINTS

Re-fold all your t-shirts so they look nice. Or if you don’t have t-shirts to fold, organize another thing in your home that needs organizing. Yes, this item is here purely because Marleen’s t-shirts need folding.

(If you end up finding clothes or other items that you no longer need, donate them to a worthy cause for 13 bonus points!)

8

38 POINTS

For the Horde! Celebrate ORCTOBER in whatever way you like best. For example, play orcs in a board game / card game, paint a miniature, make a drawing, dress up, write a poem, create a new RPG character... etc.

9

46 POINTS

Transform a piece of clothing or jewelry that you don’t want to wear into something that you will absolutely wear.

10

34 POINTS

Home-o-ween! Spend ALL of October 31 in costume. It doesn’t matter that you’re not going to a party. Every day can be a party if you want it to. (If you have to work outside of the house on the day, it can be a subtle costume.)

11

50 POINTS

Post-Halloween equals pre-Festivus! Make a plan (the more detailed, the better) for how you're going to decorate your themed Christmas tree this year. It has to include at least one hand-made ornament.

Thank you for coming to my birthday party!
