Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates.
High muggle zone, best to limit searching to off-peak hours.

When we first met Sandy Bandy she told us how horrible she was solving puzzles. Flash-forward to today and she not only solves them, but creates some real challenging ones. Some of the puzzles she dreamed up, like GC575EH - Candy Crush were so frustrating they even spawned a few revenge puzzles. Puzzles aside, she's also put out a lot of real dandy caches too. She's a handy PAF to have in your pocket, since she's always willing to help out...
This time, she needs your help solving a puzzle... Do you have what it takes to help Sandy Bandy through a land of sweet candy filled revenge?
After months of planning, coding, testing, and other whatnots, I have finally finished my 9th video game cache. I had to teach myself quite a few new things in order to pull this one off. I hope you like it.

My wife (Lost) and I had several discussions just how this cache should be rated difficulty wise: For a gamer, this shouldn't be anything more difficult than 2.5 stars. For a non-gamer, it might be more tricky. So we decided to rate it at 4 stars. Game play shouldn't take you any more than 30 minutes from start to finish.
