Item 81: KIDS MENU. Minecraft has gone analog! Make your GISH fortress Minecraft style: at home with blocks or boxes (and if you have it, make a version in the game, too). - Inspired by Arden C.

Team OrangeUndies

Comment: We always have so many cookie boxes this time of year and my kids are super into minecraft. I have a feeling this is going to be shown in the next few school Google meets and I'm not going to be allowed to recycle my boxes for at least a month. Ha!

Item 31: We know it sounds fantastical, but the GISH Seer provided you with this glimpse into the Year 2021 AD: Something called NASA made a "Perseverance Rover," which arrived on a planet called “Mars” and sent back its first image. But YOUR team intercepted the REAL first image. Show us what NASA didn’t want us to see, in a photo Mars deniers will always claim was faked. (Photoshop allowed.)

Team NotThatShrubbery

Comment: Uncovered Classified picture from Perseverance rover proving unequivocally Life on Mars! NASA is currently working out how to use the rover arm to boop the snoot as a form of communication and compassion.
