The 61st annual Z100 Great Pumpkin has been found! Congratulations to team "All Delaney" on finding the pumpkin. It was a team effort. They began their search Monday morning with the first clue.

For the first time ever we offered an exclusive bonus clue that was sent out in an app alert to the listeners who have the Z100 Classic Rock App. The team of five, who had been communicating via a very long group chat, found the pumpkin.

The Great Pumpkin was hidden in a grove of trees on Clark Street, by McDonald Street. It was right off of South Reserve Street by the bridge. Here are this year's clues and their meanings.

  • Not in the woods- It wasn't hidden in the woods this year.
  • The trees are the key- It was hidden in the grove of trees by the side of the road.
  • No needles this year- The trees aren't pine trees.
  • You don't need to hike- Not in the woods and right by the road.
  • One road ends right by- Clark Street turns into Old Highway 93 right by there.
  • There is a roundabout in the are- Clark Street has a roundabout.
  • This bridge doesn't cross water- Reserve Street Bridge is close by.
  • The answer got them to Europe- From the movie European Vacation, the winning answer was "Clark" on the game show, which is the street where it was hidden.
  • There's a clown involved- McDonald street is close by, Ronald McDonald is the clown.
  • BONUS CLUE: Pray you find me before someone else does- It was very close to the United Pentecostal Church.

The Great Pumpkin will be back next year, good luck next year in your search.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
