Gnome seekers in Saint Paul are in for a festive challenge this winter. A city-wide Gnome Scavenger Hunt has kicked off, requiring participants to keep their eyes peeled for the elusive figurines. The gnomes are hidden throughout our parkland so our parks & recreation crew have teamed up to help you hone in on their locations, as reported by the Saint Paul government.
Hunters, gear up to quickly comb through city parks, as these gnomes won't be hunkering down without a playful fight. Sleuths are encouraged to document their finds with a discreet selfie and share it on social media with the hashtag #stpgnometakeover.
Eight distinctive gnomes have taken refuge in various Saint Paul parks, waiting to be found. The parks offer an excellent backdrop for a winter hike and now come with added entertainment for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and gnome aficionados alike. Clues for the gnome locations hint at nearby landmarks and park features, but they're crafted to make you look twice and think creatively, as stated by the Saint Paul government.
The initiative combines outdoor fun with exploratory excitement. Clue breakdown ranges from poetry about a gnome named Hazel near a "magical tree" to Ju-Long hidden by a "dragon's lair." Participants are bound to not only snoop around but also appreciate the parks' hidden gems they might normally overlook, according to Saint Paul government.
