I am intrigued. What is this?
It’s an outdoor game like a scavenger hunt. Other people place geocaches (tupperwares or similar containers) somewhere out in nature and mark the spot on an online map. Anyone can find them and sign the log book inside, sometimes there are other items to trade as well. Free to play at geocaching.com.
I’ve done this lots while travelling in Europe and North America, it’s fantastic if you want to get away from typical tourist hotspots for a while. It’s helped me discover so many spots I never would’ve seen advertised anywhere
That looks awesome! Very similar to the game my friends and I used to play with gmaps a long while ago. We created a group, place private POIs shared with the group, then go hunt. The game was that the POI was close enough to the object that you’re not searching a wide area, but far enough that you still had to search. The POI name was a clue, the only clue you get. My friend told me about this game, adapted from her parents, who used print maps. Her dad proposed to her mom through the game. A bit much for this comment, I think, but my friend took the story of their engagement and made it into a gmaps game. It was fun! And this geocaching thing looks fun, too!
That’s so sweet! Sounds very much like geocaching
