Welcome to the first puzzle series created by CraigsWorld, I am calling this the "Games Edition Series". I hope you have as much fun playing these games as I did in creating them. This series has been in the planning stages for some time, it is great to finally get it out there for your amusement and mine. Hopefully you will get all the SMILEY'S...

This series consists of nine games that you must win in order to get the coordinates of the hidden cache, watch carefully, along with the coordinates, you will be given a letter when you solved each puzzle and you will find a number when you go for the smiley! The letter and number for each puzzle go together and will be needed to complete the final puzzle.  None of these games are too difficult, I constructed them to be challenging but not impossible. Some of you will go through these puzzles with ease and some of you will struggle a little before getting your smiley. Either way, everyone should be able to complete this series, eventually.  I have given all puzzles a generic difficulty of 3.5,  this is an average rating of all the puzzles, you may find some puzzles easier and some more difficult, the rating will be different for each person. You don't need to do any research on the web, all you need to do is follow instructions and win some games. Some of these games are mathematical, some are timed, some are challenging, some are more time consuming and some you just have to be lucky.

This series also has a 10th cache, which is the puzzle cache final.  You must win all nine games in the series, find all nine caches and retrieve the codes for each.  You will need this when you are trying to solve the final puzzle. Remember, you will find part of the code when you win a game along with the coordinates to the cache and the other part of the code when you find the cache, you will need both parts, they will go together for each cache. You will end up with nine sets of codes! Make sure you record the coordinates and code when you complete a puzzle, if you forget or make a mistake you will have to solve the puzzle over again!


Here is a listing and links of all the puzzles in this series:

CW-Puzzle Series (Games Edition) - The Final "Final Puzzle!" (GC31FW2)

Note: All of these puzzles require JAVA, most computers have java as a standard component these days, so this shouldn't be a problem. If you rely on your cell phone to solve and collect these caches quickly, you may be at a disadvantage as most cell phones do not handle java. If your does... great, you have a head start. If you do not have java on your phone, everything but the actual game will show.

Note: The number in the cache will be written on top of the log and also attached to the inside bottom of the cache! Please do not try to remove the number glued inside the cache. If you find that a number has been removed or damaged, please let me know in your log.

Their will be a prize for the FTF, 2TF and 3TF on the completed series. See the "Final Puzzle" (GC31FW2) for details.


Puzzle #1 - Does It All Add Up

Puzzle Instructions - In this game you must make each line of numbers add up to the CraigsWorld Value shown above the game.  You do this by moving the numbers around until they all turn green. Correct lines will turn green. Click on any number in the outer circle and it will switch with the number in the middle, continue to do this until all numbers have turned green.  When you have completed the game you will be given the coordinates to the cache and the first part of the code for this cache.

Cache Location - As with all the geocaches in this series, you will need your own writing device!  This cache has been placed in a residential area, between two houses... one belonging to a friend of mine and fellow geocacher, the other has been empty for years. The cache should be fairly easy to find. You will have to watch out for muggles across the street, you best chance is to park right in front of GZ to help block your view. Good luck to you and don't forget to wave to anyone looking at you on the cache side of the street from the closest house, I wouldn't wave to muggles on the south side of the street though! I also will ask as this cache is in a residential area that you do not go looking for this cache after 10pm. You should find yourself at the trees on the North side of the street beside the house with the address ending with 35!
