Request: completion screen for adventure labs

Currently adventure labs have a completion screen after each stage.  It would be nice id there was also a screen after completion of the whole adventure.

 

The reason for this request is twofold.  The first is to allow the story to summarize the entire entire experience on completion.  There is a whole advemture startup screen.  The second is it makes bonus caches easier for both hiders and finders.  The explicit coordinate can be dropped here instead of some convoluted formula or forcing a sequential adventure.

 

Thoughts appreciated.

The are quite a few other options available. For example, putting the bonus cache final coordinates in the completion screen for the adventure lab location closest to it.

This doesn't make some do all stages before getting the information.

When you complete the AL you are directed to rate it and add in your comments, not to mention that you can see how many stages you completed so I don't see what the issue is.

A completion screen for the whole Adventure would allow the bonus cache coordinates to be revealed only once all the stages have been done. Currently this is generally done by revealing the coordinates piecemeal in each of the stage completion screens, which is messy and cumbersome, or the AL is made unnecessarily sequential just so the final stage with the bonus coordinates has to be done last.

 

But since the recommendation in the Help Centre now is not to have bonus caches, I can't see that happening. ALs are part of geocaching except when they're not.

Including a note about the bonus cache in both the description and completion message is helpful and although not encouraged a bonus cache is allowed and my opinion adds some adventure, desirability and excitement to the AL.  Thanks BFJ for the clarification and information.
