Ben Pid Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well I just found out about this thing, a guy has just started where I work and used to work in this area. Something about finding spheres that lead you to cash prizes etc.... All the information is here: http://www.isisadventure.co.uk To be honest this is the first I had heard of it, and I am just wondering if any of you guys here play it.... Says Geocaching.com is involved.... Quote Link to comment
+ryme-intrinseca Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 There was a thread on this a while ago - here. Didn't know gc.com was involved though? Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Oh right.... Never was one for Forum search facilities.... Well they are involved as far as the first step goes, as in there is a link to geocaching website. I think its crazy, and I'm buggered if I am bothering. Quote Link to comment

As they are a commercial enterprise, any cache they submitted would first have to be approved by Groundspeak before publishing. Quote Link to comment
+ryme-intrinseca Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) I used to play a similar game called Perplexcity, but the different thing about that was that you didn't have to buy anything. You could buy puzzle cards if you wanted to, but the actual 'treasure' could be found by picking up clues from various websites, the cards were just an extra.

+Bear and Ragged Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Think the only link to geocaching is the fact some of the clues use/used co-ords... Unlike caching, where if you can't find the cache, you post a DNF. If you can't find the hidden globe, you can buy one for £99 They are rather like puzzle caches, well thought out, and needing a bit of research, local knowledge and so on. THINK I managed to solve where the one in Cheshire was, but was unable to get there to look -now it's been found. In caching, it would still be there for another to find! G Quote Link to comment
+stora Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I went looking for one of the hidden spheres, turns out it had been hidden on private land grrr. Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 About 10 inches into private land from where we were both looking too I went looking for one of the hidden spheres, turns out it had been hidden on private land grrr. Quote Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Do you think it's 'legal' to call them geocaching coordinates? Isn't it a registered trademark, and this use could bring the sport into disrepute? Quote Link to comment
