Resources for Cache Puzzles

[+Carbon Hunter]

I have seen such great puzzles on some caches lately.

 

does anyone have some resources for good ideas in developing caches?

 

Two Examples I have are:

1) Stereograms

 

2) and then this cool Google Earth tool - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...81-e2c81a44cc02

I shall be doing a series of caches that involve puting puzzle parts together to get the coords of the next part of the puzzle that includes a photo hint. There are seven caches to be found and at the end of this there is also a bonus cache that can be found as well.

I would suggest that you use your imagination. I have several based on cryptography and one on text messaging using your phone keypad, one as a riddle that you read as you walk the path to the cache. I have one that uses the first number in each zip code, I am planning one that uses the cost of properties that you find in Monopoly to arrive at the numbers for the coordinate.

If you want to see the actual caches, go to my homepage, paganmen, and look up my caches.

Practical Cryptography is a great site to get started on puzzle building.

 

Check out local cachers for their styles and methods. Oftentimes you'll find the puzzles they are putting out are based on caches they've heard about in other areas. Longtime cachers are a great resource.
