WONKA Geocaper

Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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. :P

And now, a shameless plug, brought to you by Team Noltex. :lol:

 

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 ! :laughing::( 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.

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

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!

**raises hand**

 

I want to come but I am a total newbie (as in three days, seven caches new) so I'll need a team. Mr. Brumbjorn is a crack puzzle solver but will no tbe coming -- he will be at the national puzzler's league (www.puzzlers.org) convention that weekend, but reachable by phone.

 

Any room on a team for a newbie with a shiny-i-havent-dropped-it-yet new GPS?

First Hi Brumbjorn! If I hear of anyone needing a team, I will let them know you are looking!

 

We are now up to seven teams, so just 5 team spots left! The Oompa-Loompa are still busy working on creating a fantastic day for all of you!

 

Looking forward to seeing all of the teams in July!

Only 6 more days! Hope all the teams have been exercing their brains! The puzzle Oompa-Loompas are almost done preparing all the sweet and wonderful surprises. It looks like our request for cooler weather will be honored (no 90 degree sunshine this time).

 

See everyone Saturday!

 

PS We still could use 1 or 2 volunteers the day of the event. If you're interested please contact me!

Just one day left until the Geocaper! Due to some last minute cancellations, there are 2 team spots available. If there is a group of 2 to 6 cachers that would like to take the spot, please email me ASAP. We'll accept teams until 7:00pm tomorrow. Unfortunately, you will not be able to choose your own team name. The two team names available are the Violet Blueberries or Hsawaknow.

 

If you're interested, please email JavaDuck the following information:

Your team captain

Which team name you prefer

 

It will be first come, first serve basis.
