Puzzle makers leave a lot of ideas on the cutting room floor. For every one geocaching mystery we publish, there are 10 other that never see the light of day -- too complex, too simplistic, not entertaining, overdone.
High standards are good, but when I hit a dry spell of creativity, it can be months before a half-decent idea presents itself, and that can be quite frustrating. So for once, I'm going to try letting go of those standards, and satisfy myself with publishing what's probably going to be nominated as the worst puzzle, if not the worst cache of the year.
I guarantee you'll hate the puzzle. It does not have a satisfying solution. Even if you do manage to solve it, which is unlikely because it's so poorly made, you'll want to stick your tongue out and make rude noises at us as you think: what on earth was that corgi thinking putting out such a turd of a mystery?
The final location is unremarkable, a place you'd never go to in not for this cache, but also overrun by muggles, which will ensure that your search for the cache will be utter misery. The container is also nothing to write home about -- I certainly hope that it's waterproof.
Oh yes, this cache is terrible. It's a vastly inferior puzzle to GC6C579, which seems to be entertaining the good people of Scotland.
It's more boring than the very vanilla GC337YK
It's for sure worse than GC5NVWW, a tough but interesting mystery in Berlin, where standards for this kind of thing are pretty high.
It's certainly not as good as GC3EHRT, which features Batman. I love Batman.
It's far worse than GC6H96G, which commemorates an important Australian explorer, unlike this cache which is basically commemorating mediocrity.
It's definitely worse than GC6PM11, where you get to see a castle for your efforts.
Believe it or not, it's not even as good as GC6MAKG, which has 0 favorite points and was described by one logger as being in a "pretty trashy area"
It's not as fun as a single one of these events, and I know because I literally looked at all of them in case one of them seriously sucked.
It's subpar compared to GC3T00D, which brings you on a daring little adventure on the coast of Ontario.
It's even worse than GCP94N, and will similarly not be maintained after it goes missing.
All in all, you're really better off going to look at other puzzles now, but if you insist on doing this one, you can check your answer here:
