+Deepdiggingmole Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If you have created an Adventure Lab - does the ownership of one get credited anywhere (other than in the Adventure Lab App) I was under the impression these are similar to Lab caches and as such finding them gets you another lab cache smiley, noted in your stats Does ownership get noted in your owned caches list on the GC website as well ?

+rragan Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I added a credit at the bottom of the description to myself for creating it and Geocachers of the Bay Area who own it Quote Link to comment
+rragan Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I believe if you own it, you probably can't get a find credit but never tried this. Quote Link to comment
+dertiu8 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I was recently awarded an Adventure Lab credit and accidentally deleted the email. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to retrieve it. Are Adventure Lab credits listed somewhere on my Geocaching profile and how do I find the Adventure Lab builder at this point? Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Go to labs.geocaching.com and login there with your geocaching account credentials. Then, click the arrow at the top right, next to your account name. Select "My Adventures" and you will see your credit. Click "Create New Adventure" to get started in the builder. 1 Quote Link to comment

I know I am replying to an old post, but someone in my area was testing her AL this spring and accidentally logged it herself. Quote Link to comment
+rangercarol Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I created our third Adventure Lab yesterday, tested it, and activated it. Unlike the previous two ALs that I did, I don't see credit for creating this cache nor credit for finding it. I have no problem if rules have changed and we don't get credit for finding it but I should see credit.for owning it. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't show as your owned lab until the first person completes it if I remember correctly. However as others pointed out on the forum even months later sometimes it doesn't show up. Did you complete it outside of test mode? Then you get credit for completing it and it'll show on your profile as a find. Quote Link to comment

I see that your new Washington Adventure Lab has not been completed by anyone yet. Will you let us know when someone does complete it if it shows on your profile then? It's so strange that for some people just months later it still isn't showing! Quote Link to comment

It is showing on your profile under the geocaches you have hidden/own. Edited October 5, 2021 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment
+hostanut Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I created a Lab...tested it and got credit for finding. I then went in labs.geocaching.com and deleted my finds. Now in the app it shows as completed but labs.geocaching.com shows NO finds on this lab. How can I correct this difference? 1 Quote Link to comment

You cannot delete a completed adventure lab. If you had used the test mode you would not have gotten credit for completing the adventure lab. I highly recommend using the test mode!

+hostanut Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thanks Max. I thought I had created a test but inadvertently had not. How can complete so that labs.geocaching.com and my listing of completed labs in my profile agree? Profile says "0" stages completed while the app shows completed. Quote Link to comment

+hostanut Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 In the Adventure Lab app, my AL is showing as "Completed" On labs.geocaching.com under View Finds my AL is showing "0" stages completed for my lab. (I had previously deleted the finds on the individual Locations.) How do I either: 1. get the AL app to not show my lab as Completed 2. get labs.geocaching.com to show 5 stages completed. I tried to run the AL again (scanned the QR code) but the AL shows Completed and won't let me do again. to try to solve the problem (maybe only made it worse) I changed my AL back to Private, created a Test, then was able to complete the Test AL. Now the app is showing 2 of my AL.....one is Completed and the other is Test-Private-Completed. Quote Link to comment
+hostanut Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I found the answer. At the bottom of the page for https://labs.geocaching.com/logs there's a Show Deleted Logs link ....you can undelete the Locations if you change your mind. Evidently "Deleting" lab locations does not delete them from your finds.....only deletes them from your stats. Quote Link to comment

Correct; "deleting" an Adventure Lab find only removes the +1 Smiley point, not the competition status. See https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=144&pgid=510 > "Deleting a find for an Adventure decreases your find count on Geocaching.com but does not remove the find from the Adventure Lab app." Edited October 29, 2021 by Hügh Quote Link to comment
