Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are BOGUS!  You must, instead, solve the following puzzle.


Rules for this puzzle: No intentional red herrings, no oddball (fishiness) methods of presenting coordinates (UTM, for example, or also having coordinates read backwards), and no leaving off the N32 and W97 just to make it more difficult. There may be more than one layer on this puzzle. Collaboration is allowed and you may ask me for hints after there has been a FTF.

Now for the puzzle...


This puzzle will be quite the detour from my regular style. I believe, if you don't like the puzzles I usually present, that this one will be much more fun for you. FYI - This game should work on all modern browsers and phones.

The object of the game is to flip tiles over and match them together. When you match all of the tiles (before the timer runs out), you win the game!

There is one twist: When you select two incorrect tiles, they swap with each other! That should complicate things just enough to make it challenging.


Memory

I owe the idea for this puzzle to CacheSleuth in Oklahoma. He has a fantastic series of game puzzles and he has been generous enough to provide me guidance on how to implement them here in Fort Worth.
