Last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. I hope you didn't give up treasure hunting for Lent because the Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt will be starting soon. Sticking with the Wednesday theme Clue 1 will come out on Wednesday, March 25th. As usual it will be hidden on public land in the city of St. Paul. We'll rule out all the places that the Pioneer Press ruled out and also specify upfront that it will not be hidden on or in water, on a steep hillside, indoors, on top of a building, on something you would have to climb, inside anything electrical, or anywhere else that seems like it might present a danger.
The prize this year will be $300. There is no entry fee. Anyone can find it and claim the prize. However, because I am promoting the Dracula 1897 game I designed and the Kickstarter campaign for it that begins May 3rd, you will have to consider that a sponsor and thus listen to me go on about that.
Clues will be posted daily at 5pm on this Facebook page and in the Allison Wonderland group (https://groups.io/g/theallisonwonderland) until the medallion is found. If things go off the rails somehow I reserve the right to end the hunt as necessary.
This year marks the 25 year anniversary of the first (actual) Mock Hunt which coincidentally was in Linwood Park. Thanks to all the people who have hunted for it over the years and kept the tradition going!
