Geo Puzzles

[+MT CatRancher]

Hi all,

 

I am getting ready to place a multi step cache and have been looking (with no luck) for some geo-related puzzles, codes or cyphers. I don't want any thing to easy but on the other hand I don't want anything you need to be a CIA cryptogrepher to decode/solve ethier. Thank you for any ideas.

From Where Do Your Puzzles Come?, is a topic that may help. I'm really beginning to like puzzles, so I'll watching this topic.

 

(I'll sure be glad when the search feature is restored; I had to look through ten pages of index to locate my own topic!)

thanks

I love to hide puzzle caches I currently have 23 active puzzle caches.

Sudoku puzzles are good but very un-original.

I've been thinking of a puzzl cache that involves an actual jigsaw puzzle

I agree. Which is why I made:

 

Just say NO to Sudoku!

I just placed one that's sort of a jigsaw puzzle:

I've been thinking of a puzzl cache that involves an actual jigsaw puzzle

I did a cache which used jigsaw puzzles as waypoints, but there's two points I'd make, based on that experience:

 

1- Don't overdo it. The cache I did had half a dozen or so jigsaws, and I was getting sick of them!

 

2- In the cache description, make a point that a book or other flat item will be a useful item. A jigsaw puzzle without something to assemble it on is more of a pain that (I assume) you intended it to be.
