Release Notes (Adventure Lab®: Multiple correct answers for Single Choice question type) - January 30, 2025

 

With this release, the Adventure Lab® team at Geocaching HQ introduces the ability for a Location to be completed by more than one correct answer.

Within the “Edit a Location” screen of the Adventure Lab Builder, creators must select from the Choose question type dropdown either Single Choice or Multiple Choice.

If a creator selects Single Choice, they may list up to 10 correct answers within the Location answer field.

 

 

 

Creators can add additional correct answers by selecting the + Add another option button. Creators can remove additional correct answers by selecting the trash can icon. 

Adam (Captain_Cookie), Adventure Lab® Support Manager, is watching this thread to answer questions whenever possible.

Any posts in this thread should relate to features in this release. Comments unrelated to the release may be removed. Please direct unrelated comments to other appropriate threads. Thanks!

Is this method also applicable to older, published Adventure Labs?

Greetings Hans, yes. Adventure Labs published prior to the creation of this feature can be edited to allow more than one correct answer per Location.

Thank you for adding this functionality! For questions like How many X do you see?, I'm glad that the times of needing to guess if a CO wanted a number or a word are now over .

Only if the CO actually implements the new option. And if they are that savvy about potential ambiguities, they might have phrased their question differently (e.g.  explicutly saying if they want the number or the word) in the first place.

This is actually helpful, good add by the team.

 

I'd love to see an improvement for multiple choice answer lab caches.  Currently one doesn't even have to read the question, instead just tap the answers in succession and get the right one within one second.  I'd love to see a slight delay in following up to a wrong answer so that it'll give the finder an incentive to read the question and get the answer.  Let's say 60 seconds before a follow up guess on a multiple choice, enough to be slightly inconvenient but not overly so.

I saw the news, and already corrected some of my own Adventures. I think with this is more easy to foreigners to understand and answer more correctly. Congratulation Adam for this

Yes, very helpful, especially if you are in a foreign country with letters not easily found on the keyboard like:

 

Honningsvåg ==> Honningsvag

Svolvær  ==> Solver

Bodø  ==> Bodo

C'est une fonctionnalité qui peut être pratique et intéressante. Je vais certainement l'expérimenter. Merci de nous en avoir avisés.

This is a feature that can be practical and interesting. I will definitely experiment with it. Thank you for letting us know.
