+JavaDuck Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 The WONKA Geocaper is coming! The 2nd annual Geocaper (geocaching and puzzle event race) is scheduled for Saturday July 21st in downtown Tacoma. Check out the above link for all of the exciting details. Last year teams had a blast finding caches and solving puzzles (and battling the heat, hopefully our request for cooler weather is granted). Gather up your sweetest puzzle solving dream team and compete with other puzzle solvers in a fun and exciting event. Spend an afternoon exploring downtown Tacoma, solving puzzles, satistying your sweet tooth, and finding Wonka's Golden Tickets! We hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment
+Blue Power Ranger Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) This looks really fun - but I am kinda scared of your puzzles! Even ONE has taken me WAY longer than the 5 hrs you have allowed for 8 puzzles!! Mrs. Power Ranger Edited April 29, 2007 by Blue Power Ranger Quote Link to comment
+JavaDuck Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Don't be scared. These puzzles won't be as hard, and I'm proud to say I've not created all of them. We are really working on making the puzzles solving time around 20 minutes. And hey we are going to provide the Sweet Cheat Sheet! (trying saying that fast 5 times). Hope to see you there!

+SatyrBelle Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) I am absolutely stoked! I love puzzles and Wonka and candy and caching. This is totally win-win for me. I will be with nteclpr, but we need some other players to either team up with or to join our team. Please let either one of know if you're looking for a team or some players. Thanks.

+JavaDuck Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 The WONKA team is busy working on creating an event that will satisfy the sweet and puzzling tooths of the area cachers. I'll post any information I hear about teams seeking cachers or cachers seeking teams. See you in July! Quote Link to comment
+Team Noltex Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 And now, a shameless plug, brought to you by Team Noltex. As part of last year's Geocaper winning team, JavaDuck has coerced Team Noltex and GrnXnham into helping plan this year's event. Probably to give the other teams a chance ! Last year's Geocaper was a true marvel of organization and planning and really just nothing short of amazing. Easily the most fun I've had at an event. If you have any interest in puzzles, I can highly recommend putting a team together to do this event. Think of the best puzzle cache solver you know and invite them to join you. Very clever and innovative puzzles, very theme related and a very challenging, competitive and fun day. Quote Link to comment
+JavaDuck Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wonka's Oompa-Loompas have heard that there are cachers looking for a team. Leave messages here and hopefully some cachers can join together to take on the Snozzberries. What does a snozzberry taste like? A snozzbery of course! Quote Link to comment
+JavaDuck Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 The Vermicious Knids have signed up! Now just 10 sweet spots left! Find your dream team and sign up today! Quote Link to comment
+JavaDuck Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 The Geocaper now is only 2 months away! There are 9 team spots left! Plenty of time to gather your Dream Team of Puzzle Solvers and face off against the other amazing Puget Sound puzzle solvers. Can your team squash the Snozzberries? Can they make the Vermicious Knids slither away Quote Link to comment
+Blue Power Ranger Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I haven't done an event like this - generally how many are on a team? Quote Link to comment
+JavaDuck Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi! Teams can be anywhere from 4 to 6 people. We want to include as many people as we can, but have to limit the event to 12 teams due to logistics, planning etc. Again if you are looking for people to fill out your team, post a message here or check the notes on the cache page. There are 8 spots left. I'm waiting for a team name from one group. Once you have at least 4 people sign up! You are free to add the 2 additional people later or change people if needed! Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment
+swjunckie Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hmm. I think I may be able to do this. I need to check with my usual suspects to form a team. If not I'll be back begging for someone to adopt me. Quote Link to comment
