The Allison Wonderland
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.

Clue Explanations
I formatted the clue explanations and attached them here in case anyone wants to see them all together. I need to remember for next year......don't go too deep. The person who found the medallion this year said they kept it simple - wade= beach and hill has to be by the beach. hahahaha.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
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
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
Now I do, though I'm not sure if you can read them without a description:

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
Ok. Usually they are out the next day I thought in the past
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
I read that the clue explanations will be in Thursday’s paper.

The photo was time-stamped 2015. So strange
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
Maybe it was the CW's car. They were checking for possible hiding spots near the beach house.

Was the puck hidden in the car?
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
Wow! I never knew that. And I grew up with baseball.
Good noodlin'.

So odd that we can not watch the interview on ppd without subscription but anyone can see it on cbs
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
And this!
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
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.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
Gold and silver. Silver can gold corn.
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #10
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.

Here's a link to a short video celebrating the hunt
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.
