Well, I got a couple of clues right. But, 'futsal?! C'mon!
And Clue 11 would have pushed me over the edge.

That worked better than what was posted

Now I do, though I'm not sure if you can read them without a description:

Ok. Usually they are out the next day I thought in the past

I read that the clue explanations will be in Thursday’s paper.

David, do you have a link to the clue explanations? No, I don't believe they have been posted yet.

David, do you have a link to the clue explainations?

The photo was time-stamped 2015. So strange 

Maybe it was the CW's car. They were checking for possible hiding spots near the beach house.

That image is from Summer
No snow on ground

Was the puck hidden in the car?

Was it a Mercury? LOL

Just saw the craziest thing. If you zoom in on Google maps to where the treasure was found south of the beach house, there is a car parked on the grass!

Wow! I never knew that. And I grew up with baseball.
Good noodlin'.

And this! 

I think the Chinese clue was a what's in the park reference clue. I think the true hiding clue is that A can of corn is a lazy fly ball that is easy to catch.

Gold and silver. Silver can gold corn. 

Just read that the medallion was inside an empty can of SunLuck stir fry baby corn. It's a Chinese product, so the clue about taking it on the CHIN and buckling the KNEES is the only remote clue about what the puck was hidden in. Maybe Clue 11 or 12 would have referenced the SunLuck can in some way, unless there is some anagram in one of the other clues that we missed.
It'll be interesting to read the CW's clue explanations.

Part 1 of the video is the reveal of the PP patch and part 2 is a poem about the hunt in which I of course include The Allison Wonderland community. I swear my rhymes are much easier going than the CW's 2023 hunt. Total runtime is just over 2 minutes.

Hey everyone, the Medallion Hunt might be over now, but the Winter Carnival definitely isn't! Take a day to rest up and process what just happened. But then if you start to worry that life is getting back to normal just a little too much, the Winter Carnival Scavenger Hunts are still going on! And with the nice weather coming up this weekend, it will be a great time to get out and explore the city with the North Wind Hunt. Think of it as 30 one clue treasure hunts. Solve the clue, visit that location, do a GPS check in on the Goosechase app, and you won't even have to do any digging! Here is what some people who completed this year's hunt have said:   "I really loved this experience. It definitely got me do some different corners of the city."   "My kids and I all had an awesome time"   "Your clues are great, and it was fun to explore the variety of sites and places St Paul offers. The variety of locations was amazing."   If you're ready to stay indoors for now, we also have the South Wind Hunt which also offers 30 clues to 30 locations. But rather than visit, you'll just need to find the answer to a question once you solve the clue. Or for a harder challenge we have the East Wind hunt which presents you with 12 tricky puzzles to solve to figure out the 12 locations you must visit. Or finally, take the kids and head back to Phalen for our West Wind Hunt. Just give us a couple of days to make sure everything is back in order now that we're done treasure hunting there.   Each hunt costs $20 (which goes 100% to the Winter Carnival, thanks to Priority Courier Experts, our sponsor).
