6pm clue release

1. The Mock Hunt typically identifies what seemed like a bad aspect of that year's Medallion Hunt and tries to do the opposite.
2. You will almost certainly need a Treasure Hunter's Guide.
3. I believe this year, more so than any previous year, the winner will be the person that figures out the clues first/the best.

I don't know what the prize will be yet. I don't have a sponsor and I don't have much money myself, so it will likely be a far cry from $10,000. However, if anyone wants to contribute money to the prize pot to make it more interesting, that's always appreciated. But I think this year, rather than hoping a few people will chip in big amounts, I think I'm going to recommend everyone just chip in $10. If you can't afford $10, you won't be barred by any means, but I'm going to work on a special prize to give to someone if they win and they contributed (sort of like buying a button).

Clues will be posted online everyday at 6pm. They will be posted in my Yahoo group as well as The People's Forum. The first clue may be an exception as it may have to wait to be posted online until after the kickoff party is wrapped up. The clues will come out once a day with 12 clues in all. I will be hiding a casino coin this year from an out of state casino. So the clues this year might have a sort of gambling theme. It won't be hidden in a tree, underground, on top of a building, on a cliff, next to open water, inside anything electrical, or any other place that would involve destruction or risk risk to get to.

I think that pretty well sums up everything for now. I hope everyone gets a chance to participate!

In light of the fact that a reservation will likely be made, RSVP to allison(nospam)wondrland@yahoo.com

Welcome to the 5th Annual Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt!

The hunt begins On Sunday, February 29th. Clues will be released at 6pm each night, once per day, for a total of up to 12 clues. The Allison Wonderland medallion will be hidden on public property in St. Paul. It will not be hidden underground, in a tree, on top of a building, on a body of water, down a manhole, inside anything electrical, or anywhere that would require you to damage or disturb anything other than perhaps some plants.

The first clue will be released at Fabulous Fern's on Sunday the 29th at 6pm. Clues will also be posted in this thread and on the Allison Wonderland Yahoo group.

The prize is as yet undetermined, but I will be accepting donations at the Rehash bash, the Mock Hunt pre-party at Fern's, or by Paypal at AllisonWondrland@yahoo.com

The point of this hunt, as it has generally been throughout it's history, is that one can find the precise location of the coin if they figure out all the clues right. Some are harder than others, but even if you don't get them all, some time searching may still yield up the treasure.

Stay tuned for more possible updates.

It's finally been determined that the 4th Annual Mock Hunt will start this year on Saturday, March 8th with the release of the first of 12 clues. The clues will be released once per day at 6pm. This year's prize is still being determined, but it's likely to include some as yet undertermined cash amount as well as a special trophy.

The focus of this year's hunt will be on offering clues that will guide a clever person right to the treasure (as opposed to vague, unsolvable clues that only put you in the right park, and not necessarily anywhere near the treasure).

The treasure will be hidden on public property in St. Paul. It will not be underground, in a tree, inside things that use electricity, at the edge of a cliff, on top of buildings, or anywhere else that may give you second thoughts about how wise it is to go there. Depending on the weather, it may be under some snow, but a careful analysis of the clues should guide you right to it with a minimal amount of digging needed.

For the release of the first clue, we'll be having a gathering at Fabulous Fern's in St. Paul on Selby and Western starting around 4pm in the bar area.
