2018 Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt

The Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt is coming! This will be the 19th official AW Mock Hunt and it will kick off on Wednesday March 14th. Clues will come out once per day at 5pm until the medallion is found, up to 12 clues total. Clues will appear on the Cooler Crew Facebook group, the PP's Treasure Hunt Discussion board, and of course the Allison Wonderland Yahoo Group. This notice and the clues may be freely copied from there to other sites.

Participants may choose to register for the hunt at a cost of $10. If a registered hunter finds the medallion, they will win the entire pot, estimated to be around $500 this year. If an unregistered hunter finds the treasure, they will get $100 and any remaining registration fees will be rolled over to another mock hunt (to be chosen by me). Registrations must be received by the release of the 4th clue. You may send the money via Paypal to AllisonWondrland@yahoo.com or you may pay in person at the kickoff event. If neither of those work, then let me know and we can make other arrangements.

The kickoff party will take place at Joseph's Grill in St. Paul at 6pm. Wednesday nights they have their pasta bar or you could order off the menu as well.

The treasure will be hidden on public land in St. Paul, ruling out the same places ruled out in the PP's Winter Carnival hunt. It will not be hidden indoors, up a tree, on a frozen surface, on a steep hill, inside something electrical, or anywhere else that would make you wonder if looking there might be a bad idea.

There will be 12 clues, but the hunt will go until the medallion is found or until outside circumstances merit calling an end to the hunt. The medallion must be returned to collect the prize.

The treasure was never officially found. Being inside a pop can, someone doing a good deed picked it up and tossed it in a recycling bin. The hunt was called of when David realized it was no longer in its original hiding place. He informed Matt to check, who confirmed it. Ed Brodie inquired about its disguise. Being told it was in a Coke Zero can, he proceeded 1 block south to the nearest recycling bin where he recovered a piece of Cooler Crew history (the famous Allison puck) that had been deemed as lost. Even though its not an official find, Ed was just proud to have been able to find it and return it
