+M6216 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I’ve been checking challenge caches recently for all the big events I’ll be attending this year. Since a letterbox can take the form of a traditional, multi, or mystery can it be a challenge cache? I don’t see any technical problems with it. Quote
+Max and 99 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) https://search.app/CD8dZTxa5ztboK8a8 No. Challenge caches must be listed as mystery caches. Edited January 12 by Max and 99 1 2 Quote
+M6216 Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 In Morgantown there is a challenge that is a letterbox. So I can log it without completing the challenge? Quote

Just my opinion: I still think you would need to complete the challenge in order to log a find. It seems a mistake that the challenge cache was accepted as a letterbox, but it was. Good question though! Quote
Moun10Bike Posted January 14 Posted January 14 That cache predates the updated guidelines on challenge caches. Today, challenge caches must be listed in the Mystery category. The current challenge cache guidelines are available here. 1 3 Quote

The majority of finders don't complete this challenge. I will stamp for good letterbox caches. The tiny log is a small sistema in a power trail (throw in a cheap commercial stamp and call it a letterbox) I might not. Good letterbox caches examples, and I've seen better: Edited January 14 by Goldenwattle 1 Quote
+Vooruit! Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Offtopic, but now that we have the Challenge attribute, I wish we could get rid of the requirement to have the English word 'challenge' in the title. It doesn't serve any purpose anymore, besides making for ugly cache titles, especially in non-native English speaking countries, a.k.a. most of the world. 2 1 Quote
