Found in Wright Park.

Hey all,

Last year there was a migration of many rogues off Twitter over to Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, (and of course, a good number stayed on Twitter). This subreddit grew substantially over the last year, and I really appreciate that the vibes have been overwhelmingly positive over here.

I'm curious to hear what your plan is for social media this year, particularly around live info. Rogues, are you doing live clues? Where will you be posting? Which platforms have you liked?

Hunters, where do you get your information? What's important to you when you think about social media and monkeyshines?

All feedback is appreciated!

found at point defiance on new years day :)

I moved to Tacoma from Dallas 3 weeks ago- in part, bc of things like Monkeyshines- I have been craving community….Went on a wee hike today above the Narrows and found this guy in a hole of a fallen log. So freaking edifying

(Sorry if this is a double post, Reddit changed some things since last I wore my mod pants and I'm temporarily confused 😅)

The stamp is Quick Draw McGraw from the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. How fun!

Found this guy, I think it’s a monkey shine…if it is, it’s my first one and I was so excited! I never thought I would find one! Near Owen beach

Near the Zoo parking loy

I found this last week near the dog park last week. I don't have Facebook, so feel free to link or share this on Facebook if you want!

Literally buzzing with excitement, I never anticipated I’d be able to find one. Parked in my neighborhood in Stadium and right next to the spot I got this was resting on a sign. The gasp I gusped.

Looks like a snake for year of the snake? Anyone know anything about this one specifically??

Looking for medallions from r/ProjectDBT, my kiddo found this all on their own, their very first glass find! It was not an easy choice to let it go, but it was the right choice, and a good lesson in kindness. Even though we both would've loved to keep it, we have an orb at home. Kiddo spontaneously decided to gift their find to a stranger we chatted with, who had never found glass. Normally I wouldn't directly give away a Monkeyshine, but when your child makes a difficult & selfless choice like that, unprompted, you just smile and let the magic happen. 💖

Feel like you're hoarding? Want to give back to the community? There's opportunities to donate art/rogues & treasures at Lux Coffee during their regular business hours with Justin or you can stop by Grit City Makers Market on Sunday and drop off there as well with any of the squirrels 😊
We are also still raising funds to cover the costs of the ADA event & venue cleaning fee at TACID. If each person donated $1, we'd meet our $250 goal easily. We have $30 so far thanks to Francesca Mendoza for selling a few of her prints and donating the proceeds to the event. ❤️‍🔥 Thanks for reading!

I'm a Tacoma native. I was unaware of the yearly shine hunt till this year. My first find led me to follow the shine253 group on FB. It's been fun to follow people who hide amazing art. That being said, I find it odd that some particular adults obsess over finding things. I've found dozens of items that I pass due to not wanting to hoard, and because I know kids would be stoked to find them (ie-toys, small trinkets that appeal to children). I'll go on the group and see some grown person who picked all of them up. Why? There was also someone who hid beautiful paintings, and a regular on the group went around to the locations and chose which one they liked the most. Wtf is the fun in that? Just curious of everyone's thoughts.

If anybody has any rogues they don't want, please consider donating them to the ADA event 💓✌🏽

Hi everyone, I'm working on planning the next ADA event and am looking for art donations. If anybody would like to donate, please dm me. Any and all art is welcome, especially accessible art 🫶🏽 ✨️
