New Geogame Idea

[+Zymurdoo]

After finding most of the local caches in my area, I have come up with an idea for a new game.

 

First contact local cachers and define geographic boundries. Then pick a weather-proof object that will act as "the cache". Draw a random name who will then have 24 hours to place the object within the geographic boundry. After the object is placed, the other players have a defined amount of time, say 72 hours, to retrieve the cache and score a point.

 

If the object is not retrieved, the hider may then retrieve it for a point.

 

Other ideas include penalizing the hider if the object is placed outside the defined boundries.

 

Object must be "placed" by the hider. That is to say that the object may not be dropped over a cliff but if the hider repells down a cliff face and physically places the cache that would be permitted.

 

I am looking for feedback and other ideas,

Or..

 

Hot Potato

 

And I know this isn't the only hot potato game (there was one here in Austin a while back), but it was the first one I found with a decent page too.

It wouldn't work on gc.com because it's a moving cache. Maybe if you made it a travelbug and you have to get a certain number of points to receive coordinates for a puzzle cache.

 

You could hide the travelbug like it was a cache, and just have whoever logs it put new coordinates in instead of dropping it in a cache.

I was not going to post on gc.com. The coords would be sent directly to the players via e-mail. I am just looking for ideas for local cachers when you have already found all the caches within an hours drive.

Found all the local ones? Within a fifty mile radius of my home I've found over 400 and still have over 500 more that I haven't found (yet). I must live in cache-heaven.

Maybe after finding most of the local caches, you should make more geocaches

Within 5 miles i've found over 250.

You had me curious so I checked. There were are 71 caches within 5 miles of my house of which I'd only found 69. I got all excited thinking there were a couple I could go snag - until I saw that they were mine
