Failure! Or, rather, no one was looking. I hid for three sweet hours at the Mel-O-Glaze Bakery in south east Minneapolis and no one was even searching. Luckily I had some pastries and friends to keep me company.

Let’s go through the clues anyway, shall we?

Nearby you drive on this, but park somewhere ironic.

Mel-O-Glaze is located on Minnehaha Parkway. You drive on the parkway and park on your driveway. Hilarious, I know. You know, I made that up a long time ago and now I hear people saying all the time.

Family owned for over 43 years.

What could that possibly mean?

Somewhere between June 30th and July 14th

Oddly enough, Mel-O-Glaze can be found between my hiding spots on June 30th, Matt’s Bar, and July 14th, the Minnehaha Depot.

Best of 2005 & 2007

City Pages named Mel-O-Glaze as holder of the best donuts in the Twin Cities in 2005 and 2007. And you know something? They might be on to something there.

It is another beautiful day for Least Dangerous Game, and I am armed with enough clues and riddles to choke a horse! New clues pointing your to my hiding location will be going out every 15 to 30 minutes. But how will you recognize me? My stylish clothes, of course.

Who would have guessed that I’m wearing another Threadless t-shirt today? Cast your eyes upon the picture below.

It’s a Rube Goldberg machine that makes toast! Not the shirt, what is on the shirt. Honestly, I don’t get you sometimes.

Clues start at noon, so get your thinking caps on. Also, electronics to receive the clues would be useful, I guess. Like a computer or cell phone. Or a robotic dog that has my sent. Now I am scared!

This beautiful weekend was a perfect example of why Least Dangerous Game exists. The weather was perfect, the players were plentiful, the gift certificate was for Schlotzsky’s Deli, and the setting was one I hadn’t been to in years. Proving, as I had hoped, that there was plenty to do in the Twin Cities to do that I never considered before beginning Least Dangerous Game!

The location this week was the Minnehaha Depot, located a Barry Bonds asterisk filled home run away from Minnehaha Falls.

Hey, why don’t we review the clues? That sounds great!

Least Dangerous Game is on today, with a barrage of clues and riddles. New clues pointing your to my hiding location will be going out every 15 to 30 minutes. But how will you recognize me? My stylish clothes, of course.

Did you surmise that I’d be wearing a Threadless t-shirt today? Congratulations! Your mind is sharp, or can easily recognize a pattern! Cast your eyes upon the picture below.

It’s a rocket bird! Again. That’s a bird who flies with the assistance of rockets.

Clues start at noon, so get your thinking caps on. Also, electronics to receive the clues would be useful, I guess. Like a computer or cell phone. You know. Things from our modern times. Hypercolor t-shirts will do you no good, as they are no longer modern.

June 30th was a great day to be playing Least Dangerous Game. Not only was there a $15 Cheapo gift certificate to be one, but the hiding place was more than perfect for social interaction.

As you can certainly tell be the title of this entry, the hiding spot was Matt’s Bar in south Minneapolis on Cedar Ave.

It was another week of hangman, as players texted in guesses that turned this:

“xxxx xx xxx xxxx xxxx”

Into this:

“HOME OF THE JUCY LUCY”

With a simple internet search, or any knowledge of the Twin Cities, players would be turned instantly to Matt’s Bar. So who won?
