How it works
Geocachers hide containers (“caches”) and post their GPS locations online. You use the official app or website to navigate to them, find the cache, sign the logbook and log your find. A free basic membership gives access to lots of caches.
What’s inside
Usually a logbook and sometimes small trinkets to swap. Some caches hold “trackables” that travel from cache to cache around the world.
Why teens like it too
Harder puzzle caches and multi-stage hunts are proper brain-teasers. It’s a gateway to escape rooms and longer nature adventures.
