Geocache Description:

This is a play-anywhere wherigo with an associated geocache.

You never have to go to the posted coordinates. Instead, follow the description below. That will give you a way to get the coordinate of the geocache associated with this Wherigo.


This Wherigo is a so-called play-anywhere Wherigo. This means you can play it anywhere in the world and if you finish it correctly, you will get the coordinates of this cache.
This is not a traditional Wherigo, and some experience with Wherigo's might be useful.

This Wherigo cartridge is a real life 'Tag' game.




Step 1: Download install the Wherigo cartridge.
The cartridge can be downloaded here
The Wherigo has been tested on the following devices.
  • Garmin Colorado
  • Garmin Oregon
  • iPhone, iPad: Wherigo app by Pi-Soft Consulting
  • Android phones: WhereYouGo app by Asamm Soft
  • GPS-enabled Pocket PCs: Wherigo Player
In my viewpoint, Android works best.

Step 2: Find an open place to play the Wherigo
You need an open field. So any park, football field or empty parking lot is ideal, as long as you can reach all spots. A 150x150 feet square should be enough, 200 feet square is better.


Step 3: Start the Wherigo
This Wherigo is a tag game. Go to the middle of the open area and start the game.

Step 4: Play the Wherigo
Creatures will appear around you. Catch them as fast as you can.


Step 5: Win the game
Every time you catch a creature, you get points. If you get enough points, you will win the game and you get the coordinates for the cache.
After a game, you can go to the 'game information' menu to see your 'completion codes' and to see the creatures you have caught so far.

Step 6: Find the cache
The cache is in a 2 mile radius of the posted coordinates.


Good luck.
