The Allison Wonderland
The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival every year. While the prize can only go to one winner, The Allison Wonderland is dedicated to the community spirit of treasure hunting. Here, not only will you find out about the Pre-Dig Gig, the Rehash Bash, and various other social events, but we also discuss the clues here in a team effort to decipher them (albeit not always successfully). This is a place to discuss ideas respectfully, report on what's happening "on the ground", and provide each other with useful information. This is a public group so expect that anything posted will be seen by everyone.

Re: I Survived
I'm glad to hear that! If it isn't going to be one of us, I'm glad it was at least some real fans of the hunt and not just clue 12 opportunists. Lori To:
Re: Explanations Are Out
As I said in a post last night, I don't think it was remotely possible to find this medallion until Clue 12. You might have had the city at manitou, and the

I'm pretty sure that to ensure secrecy, they do not do much playtesting.
Re: I Survived
I'm all set for macaroni and cheesy clue explanations for the Rehash Bash (This Sunday at noon at the Wellstone Center, Room 272)
Re: Explanations Are Out
My initial brief summary of the clues: "Yea, we just threw a bunch of stuff in there either to confuse you or to really confuse you."
