Report it? That should get the attention of a mod (assuming no one is looking at this at the moment) I tried to "edit" my original post to see if I could change it but it if it's possible, I can't find it. I have been to a lot of online forums where things can get pretty nasty so I really really appreciate all the responses and tips that you all are giving this "newbie". We will try to come up with exactly what we want and then contact the reviewer to get some tips. The owner buys tons of those like...figurines that you have to keep buying to get a certain one. Like baseball cards I guess where you have to buy 300 to get the 1 that everyone wants. So he has a ton of the more common ones. Our reasoning for putting it in the store was based more on having a always fully stocked cache rather then for promotion. Of course, I'm not being naive...I can totally see how having it in a store regardless is promotion whether it was intentional or not:). I was thinking along the lines of the last clue of a multicache telling where/which game box to look into and then it being filled with a log book and game related trinkets that could be easily restocked. I wont beat this dead horse though, just wanted to update anyone who cares and let you know we will contact the reviewer before getting to that final stage:). Thanks again.

Although I guess a micro ON the building would serve a similar "clever" ending without being boderline commercial or tacky in it's advertising?... (FYI, The friend of my mom wants to do SOMETHING since he loves all games so much that the idea of a puzzle type multi cache appeals whether or not it involves his store)

yes, I am Erika and was in the USAF:). Thanks for the info everyone. I will do a little more brainstorming... To be perfectly honest, my mom and I were talking about this cause her friend owns a game store. Think board games and some of those...WOW type stuff (maybe? I don't know)...he's got games from Europe and a million different variations of like...Uno games. Anyway, my mom and I were talking about those multi-cache ones and how much fun it is to do the longer ones...but I want there to either be some kind of payoff or something clever at the end. Not just go to 1, read these coords that take you to 2...read these coords, go to 3, etc. But if we got her friend to help us, we could make like a "Katniss Everdeen lives in this district, Prim lives in this district, etc" with "Hunger Games type clues maybe. Then at the second spot, some other "game" type clues, etc. Leading you through the town (a very small Dickens type town) to the game store with the actual log book being inside one of the books or board game boxes (with no purchase needed obviously:)). ****I really do genuinly apologize for how this is worded...we are relatively new to this and don't plan on rushing a cache out tomorrow or anything...just since my mom and I were talking and wondering if it was even possible I told her I know where I could ask and feel out people for it...**** Thank you all for your patience and responses:)

I read the guidelines for posting. I have checked through pages here...I think it's not posted cause maybe it is so obviously not allowed? I know caches can't be "commercial"...what exactly does that mean? Like if I own a cominc book store, can I make a comic book related cache? And I see they can't be on military bases on school property...but how about inside my store? Like clues that lead to a specific comic book that is actually blank inside and is actually a log? I can see how it's borderline tacky in that it may be considered blatant advertising...but there are more comic book "geeks" who may find the challenge interesting. ***I don't own a cominc book store or even any comics...I figured this was a neat idea though and can't tell if it's not allowed and/or tacky...even though my intent is not actually for any personal gain ((through advertising...))***I am new to this...sorry for the odd rhetoric... :)

Thank you so much for all the helpful replies and tips. I should've written down the numbers today to see what their "missions" are...or I guess I can look on my phone when I am actually there. Anyway, thank you for being so helpful:).

I am VERY new to this...like day 1. But my daughter and I went and found our first cache already and there were THREE trackers in it! We left them all and didn't log anything but should I grab all three and move them all? Or is it discouraged for all three of them to travel together? Probably doesn't make much of a difference...but I have browsed through the forums here and don't want to make a mistake by moving them all at once...
