FAQ

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity in which participants use a GPS receiver or mobile device to hide and seek containers, called 'geocaches' or 'caches', at specific locations marked by coordinates all over the world.

How do I get started with geocaching?

To start geocaching, you'll need a GPS-enabled device or a smartphone with a geocaching app. Create an account on a geocaching website or app to find caches near you.

What can I find in a geocache?

Geocaches typically contain a logbook where you can sign your name and date of your find. Many also include small trinkets or toys that you can take or trade.

Is Geocaching safe?

Yes, geocaching is generally safe, but it’s important to be aware of your surroundings, respect private property, and follow local laws and regulations. Always cache in and trash out.

Do I have to pay to geocache?

While basic membership is free and allows you to access many caches, there are premium memberships available that offer additional features for a fee.

What is a trackable item in geocaching?

Trackable items are special items that have unique tracking codes on them. When you find one, you can log it online, move it to another cache, and help track its journey.

Can I hide my own geocache?

Yes! Once you feel comfortable with the game, you can create your own cache. Just make sure to follow guidelines and instructions provided by the geocaching platform.

How do I solve geocache puzzles?

Many geocaches involve puzzles that must be solved before finding the location. Depending on the cache description, solutions may involve logic puzzles, riddles, or other forms of clues.

What should I bring while geocaching?

It's advisable to bring essentials such as water, snacks, a pen for signing logbooks, tradeables for caches, and any tools you might need for navigating or retrieving caches.

What if I can't find a cache?

If you can't find a cache after searching thoroughly, it's acceptable to log it as 'did not find' (DNF). You can also check the cache page for hints or ask the cache owner for assistance.
