+rassidan Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Is it allowed tovuse one of your geocache hides as a location in a mystery cache? So basically can I make it a requirement to find a container and say attach a number or hint to the container that corresponds with my mystery cache. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Yes. Your mystery cache would be a "bonus cache." See the Help Center guidance on bonus caches for further information. 2 Quote Link to comment

What you're describing is what's called a Bonus Cache. See the Help Center article Bonus caches. Quote Link to comment

+coachstahly Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 This is more of a FYI than anything else. Keep in mind that your bonus cache is completely dependent upon finding all the other caches (or single cache) associated with it. Anything happens to them/it then it renders the bonus cache unfindable. It's that little bit of extra maintenance that sometimes gets forgotten. I think I have two caches set up like this. One is dependent upon finding a multi while the other is dependent upon finding 5 traditional caches. Neither of them gets found regularly so most cachers don't opt in. Quote Link to comment
