2005 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

Submitted by THX 1138 on

The Treasure Has Been Found!

Allison Wonderland

It's getting on towards 2pm and it doesn't seem anyone is close to finding it yet. Guess I'll have to get Clue #2 ready to go here in a bit.

Can we get a thread for clues only or else  post them at the top of this one?

I don't have control over either of those things. THX would have to make such a thread I think.

Also, should anyone find the treasure, I forgot to include my phone number with it. So the phone number to call is 651-276-5230.

I believe you. I kind of thought I had missed someone and it didn't seem likely that you wouldn't have paid, but I thought I would ask to be sure.

The "Treasure renowned, one lost another found" is refering to the Phalen PP hunt?  "Ponder if we were the animals as you stroll"  Are there deer trails in any St. Paul parks?

Ah, I remember this part. We get closer to clue time, but instead of everyone gathering around, the place becomes a ghost town as people shift from work to home. One of the downsides of an early release time I suppose. I still think 6pm makes the most sense though so just about a half hour away now we'll have Clue #2.

I think 5:49 makes the most sense actually.

Clue #2

A Bicycle ride will be your guide
To what you are looking for
And in the park a moment of dark
Will hold the way to keep score

And the previous clues:

Clue #1

Come make your bet on the trickiest hunt yet.
As you sometimes take not one step, but two.
You’ll be all set and not have to get wet
If the same, only different is what you do.

A treasure renowned, one lost, another found
Ponder if we were the animals as you stroll
To be treasure bound, search on the ground
And score a payday if you make a field goal

Hmmm, I wonder which one?

And in the first clue he says "trickiest".  Lots of card games use the term trick.   So maybe this is an Alice in Wonderland themed hunt with references to the King and Queen of Hearts and the other cards who are the gardeners?

Bicycle ride= poker game
moment of dark= blind
the way to keep score= poker chips

so the poker game is our guide to what we are looking for possibley? we are looking for a poker chip, I thought we already knew that though.

Is it a poker chip or one of those casino coins?

I believe it's from a casino, some obscure casino that we wouldn't know.

It's a casino coin.
