Button Hunt Clues

Clues will start at 12am starting May 2nd.

Stay tuned below for clues as they are revealed every day, starting May 2nd.

Medallion & Virtual Button Clues
Clue 1
The hunting grounds are the same 900 or so square miles as always. If it's private property, the medallion is not there. The home places for Bulldogs, Swedes and Tigers are also no hunting zones.
Medallion Button Clues
Clue 2 Medallion
Your search will take you to open spaces, with shaded places.
Clue 3 Medallion
Deer and antelope don't play here often but people do, at least in the general vicinity.
Clue 4 Medallion
In Kansas, there are many places that don't quite sync up. Where you need to look is not one of them, in two ways.
Clue 5 Medallion
McPherson County business history will be quite helpful in your hunt. Focus on two of them.
Clue 6 Medallion
As you hunt, you may have to move a few leaves. Not many but just a few will do the trick.
Clue 7 Medallion
As you look to the northern galaxy, look for a sign to the past. Beneath that sign is something for your financial future.
Virtual Button Clues
Clue 2 Virtual
The place you are looking for is very big, from all of it you can see galaxies, and from parts of it view possibilities that became realities. Both are somewhat weather dependent though.
Clue 3 Virtual
The Virtual Button has been found! Congrats to Jo Unruh! The number four factors into this place. The parts will add up to the whole.
Clue 4 Virtual
Something very rare came to this place 30 years ago.
Clue 5 Virtual
What you're doing now was once the big attraction. On a much smaller scale it can still be done today.
Clue 6 Virtual
A knife didn't go through it, but once upon a time a hot fork did. Today it's in parts because of it.
Clue 7 Virtual
Once upon a time, it was as important as a place two counties west. Today, work continues to bring some of it back.
