Clue #1
Published on Sunday, February 1, 2015
A Worthy man found the puck this year. To Mappy, let's all raise a cheer!
Joe, to you and your daughter, congrats! — Not too bad a door-prize, that.
But now, it's time to start anew, and get yourselves another clue—
A dish you didn't bring today: Home's where the heart is (so they say).
Explanation:
(given to AllisonWondrland inside a "Merci" thank you note that referenced the French theme of his Mock Hunt)


  • "A Worthy man"/"Mappy" is Steve Worthman, who goes by MapGuy, or Mappy, and uncovered the Saint Paul Winter Carnival Medallion this year, and a cool ten grand.

  • "Joe" and his "daughter" were this year's finders of the Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt Medallion, and winners of a $445 "door-prize" 

  • "another clue" is not only meant to suggest the mini-hunt's second clue, but that a whole new hunt lies in the offing—The Great Twin Cities Treasure Hunt—revealed for the first time at the end of this one.

  • "A dish you didn't bring today" references the pot-luck nature of the Rehash Bash, and "Home" "plate" at Newell Park's lone baseball field (the location of the second clue).

Clue #2
Published on Sunday, February 1, 2015
Inside Noodle park you sadly won't find penny one.
It's a fine-looking day for a court of clay — Tennis, anyone?
Explanation:
(found attached to a wiffle ball at home plate of Newell Park's baseball field)


  • "fine-looking" is meant to suggest "Fair-view" Avenue.

  • "court of clay" and "Tennis, anyone" are meant to suggest the tennis courts across Fairview Ave. in Clayland Park (and on Clayland Street).

Clue #3
Published on Sunday, February 1, 2015
A place to park a plane on dirt — May I play seek and hide?
Loch net's monster's to the south, but you gotta let 'er slide.
Explanation:
(found along with a tennis ball and a tiny "Grave Digger" figurine inside a tennis ball can, near the net of one of the tennis courts in Clayland Park)


  • "A place to park a plane on dirt" is meant to suggest Clay land Place.

  • "May I play..." is meant to sugget May Park, and its playground.

  • "Loch net" anagrams to "Chelton," May Park's southern boundary.

  • "monster" is meant to suggest the next clue is attached to a toy "Grave Digger" monster truck.

  • "Loch net's monster's to the south, but you gotta let 'er slide" references a plot point from the Allison Wonderland hunt, and implies that the next clue is hidden in the playground area, underneath the slide.

    Clue #4
    Published on Sunday, February 1, 2015
    Think 2Pac's hood—always up to no good—and an infamous guesthouse tenant.
    Take the same fine-lookin' street south to them—then return to Newell with the pennant!
    Explanation:
    (found attached to a toy "Grave Digger" monster truck, underneath the slide in May Park)


    • "2Pac's hood—always up to no good" (from the song "California Love") is Englewood.

    • "an infamous guesthouse tenant" is meant to suggest Kato Kaelin—and Cato Park, to the South.

    • "that same fine-lookin' street" is Fairview Avenue again.

    • "the pennant" references the shape of the final clue.

    Clue #5
    Published on Sunday, February 1, 2015
    Here's a gift card for the finder; go get yourself something nice.
    But a mystery remains here still, so please, heed my advice:
    If you'd like the Cooler Crew to know just what the plan is,
    Bring this flag straight back to Newell; find me—my name's Johannes.
    Explanation:
    (found attached to a Target gift card and shaped like a triangular flag on a stick in Cato Park)

    • "my name's Johannes" references a small box marked "Hello, my name is Johannes" with a final clue: an invitation to the inaugural Great Twin Cities Treasure Hunt, hidden at the pavilion building at Newell Park.
