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.

Re: I know where it's at!
I think it's just that. Everybody is used to looking for double meaning, hidden words, mixed up clues. I think it's straightforward this year just to mess with

Ha! I know one thing... this CW has some serious 'splainin to do. If I slap my forehead and go "well, duh!" then maybe he's the best CW ever. If it's all some

Re: 2016 Clue #9
One thing I think we can all be sure of--the CW/hider is NOT going to put us in a situation that could be potentially dangerous. If you're having a tough time
