Final Clue Thoughts

Re: Clue Explanations
I agree, secretrose. The clues were either brilliant classics or very, very farfetched. I'll give the CW props for the glib ghoul. It was info that was

Yes we were close. However not crazy about explanations on many. The atomic bomb looked like a rock star??? A mushroom is more accurate, not a rock star. Lots

Re: AW Park Pick Pool
No one picked Harriet prior to clue 7, and those who did went all in and stuck with it so yes, there was a multi-way tie. But the tie breaker was whoever posts

Can not get pictures to post. I put them on PP Facebook under Barb. Mostly sunsets with 2 from the parking "found" area. Got there after Rob left.
Re: Good to See Everyone
If the hunt weren't social, I wouldn't bother. It's the best part of the hunt--bumping into your friends in the park, and attending the pre-dig gig and rehash

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.
