How It Works
This is the Ontario BINGO Challenge! This is a Challenge cache which is located at the posted coordinates. However, in order to log this cache as found, you will first need to meet the Challenge as per Groundspeak rules. The BINGO grid is filled with various geocaching related activities. You must have completed at least five of the listed activities in a row, column or diagonal creating a “BINGO”. If you can claim a BINGO line of five completed activities, you may find and log this cache. There are 12 possible BINGO combinations (5 across, 5 down, 2 diagonal).
The activities in the grid are widely varied in hopes that even seasoned cachers may have to try out something new to get a BINGO. You must get a BINGO before logging this cache as found. I hope that cachers will use the honor system and only seek out this cache if they can claim a BINGO.

Logging Your Find
When you log this cache as a find, indicate how may BINGO combinations (levels) you qualified for. Example: If you have only one row or column then that would count as level 1. If you have 8 combinations then your level would be 8. If you filled the entire grid then you reached level 12.
Please write in your found it log which BINGO line(s) you are claiming along with the required activities you have completed; just document the rest of your accomplishments somehow.

Verification
Please provide links or proof of your accomplished BINGOs for verification purposes as per the Groundspeak guidelines for Challenge caches. This can be done directly on your found it log or by emailing me.

Moving Up In Levels
If at some point in the future you are able to get more BINGOs, post a note indicating such on the cache page and your level will be increased.
