Environment Outdoor

Use a free GPS app to hunt for hidden containers (geocaches) in parks, trails, and city streets — a modern, tech-assisted scavenger hunt that turns any neighbourhood into an adventure.

The Essentials

  • Download a geocaching app and create a free account before heading out, then search for caches near your starting point.
  • Bring the essentials: a fully charged phone or GPS device, a pen for the logbook, and small trinkets if you plan to trade items.
  • Read the cache's difficulty and terrain ratings first, since a 1-star cache in a park differs wildly from a 4-star cache requiring climbing gear.
  • Move discreetly near the hiding spot so uninvolved bystanders, called muggles, don't notice and disturb the cache.
  • Always reseal and rehide the container exactly as you found it, so the next finder gets the same experience.
  • Log your find online afterward, since the cache owner and other hunters rely on those logs to know a cache is still active.
