+Ranger Boy Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I'm wondering if a puzzle cache is allowed that would have the seeker use information from a book or movie. The book or movie would be available to borrow at the library. Is this considered solvable from the cache page? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yes, so long as the finder can figure out what book or movie to consult, based on information found on the cache page. That can range from as simple an instruction as "Go to the Library and borrow Attack of the Killer Hamsters" to a puzzle where one needs to figure out a book's Dewey Decimal system call number. Using the library is a good idea. If you ask finders to go to the Theatre to watch a movie that's premiering this weekend, you run into problems under the Commercial Caches guideline (and possibly also the Cache Permanence guideline).

+Chris & Renee Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yes, my cache is based on a movie, in which they must get the answers from the movie to get the co-ords, but most movies you can also lookup on line to get answers. Quote Link to comment
+Arrow42 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm wondering if a puzzle cache is allowed that would have the seeker use information from a book or movie. The book or movie would be available to borrow at the library. Is this considered solvable from the cache page? Yes, but I would stick with classics in either books or movies. I would also try to stay away from movies/books that have a lot of political baggage. Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think that there are far too many of these caches around. Most of those movies are not availabe at my library (which is a rather small library). I need a copy of Yellow Submarine. My library does not have that! Definitely qualifies as a commercial cache.

+geodarts Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 There are quite a few of these in my area. At some point I got tired to watching dvds of kids movies in minute detail, but I am told that there is one not too far away that is based on a film that I always enjoying seeing. Then there was one that used Song of the South. Try to find that one. I heard it might be available under the table at a particular store. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I need a copy of Yellow Submarine. My library does not have that! My library does not have Attack of the Killer Hamsters. I'm so disappointed. It sounds like a good book. I wonder if it's been made into a movie yet? Quote Link to comment
