Event Cache Games?

[+Brokenwing]

We are holding an event next month and I'd like to hear from those of you that have either participated in, or coordinated caching games at an event. What worked? What didn't?

 

We've got some stuff planned already, but I'd like the lowdown from those of you that have actually done this.

 

Thanks!

what are the chances that we'd both post a thread like this on the same day? sorry that I didn't see yours first -- mine's called "event cache mixers" and it did get a post ... I also have some info I got from cache-u-nuts in Utah that I wll send you via the Web site e-mail -- if I can figure it out

Craig and Georgia (the Cach-U-Nuts) put together some really good games that can be played at event caches. 3 Card Poker was one of the first games they put together. The latest one (to be played this Saturday at a Utah Event Cache) sounds like a lot of fun too. Check some of his ideas out at www.cachunuts.com.

I did notice that! Funny! I'd like to see that info you have, thanks. If you have trouble with emailing me through geocaching.com, you can also find my email address on my website, which is listed below. Once I get that, I'll send you the stuff I've got on some games we've been thinking about. (You too George.)

 

Best of luck with your event!

Shel:

Yep, I got it! I've also been playing with the poker idea. I'll send that along with some other stuff I've been working on. Alternately, I may just post it all here for everyone to use. It will probably be sometime this evening.

 

Thanks!

Seth! hosted a great murder mystery cache event. Here's the link http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=13399

 

We had a great time. The clue's to the murder led us to another cache near by. We also contributed to a new cache that was placed by Seth! after the event.

Pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey???

 

Put a paper donkey on a tree. Enter the coordinates into a GPSr. Give the player the tail, and put a bag over his head. He has to pin the tail using nothing but the GPSr.

Or a varriation of that game...

ie find the coordinate (found by several attempts and averaged or some other qualifyer by Game Placer) hide the official marker (small metal piece so it can be found again perhaps with a detector if needed) that could be hidden in the open short grass part of a park.

then give everyone the coords and a flag or marking piece, then reveal the REAL "Hidden" spot and the closest 1,2,and 3 win places for accuracy on thier first attempt to find or in a timed attempt.

 

FYI we do have at least one active cacher that is a serveyer
