"Walk On" The Park - HAG XI Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

The GO! Team: After great thought, the decision to archive this was difficult to make. Whereigos are far and few between, so letting one go is sad to do.

COVID has made everything difficult for everyone, including our city's most vulnerable homeless community. And I can't say that our city has done right by them at all.
And the erecting of these fences in Topaz Park to ensure they can't go just where they like has made this cache impossible to complete.

Sadly when this is said and done, and the fences come down, I'll have long forgotten about this cache and probably won't every be by to collect the cache itself. So yeaaaay, geotrash 🙁

Geocache Description:

This cache was given a difficulty 3 only because not everyone has a device that plays Wherigo, where one would have the added difficulty of teaming up with someone who does!

The HAG XI theme is Music Music Music. So in honor of my favorite band straight out of Dublin Ireland, I give you "Walk On" The Park - HAG XI. This is our first Wherigo, and we hope you like it!

The cache is not at the above location. To find the cache you will need to navigate through invisible stages in Topaz Park answering questions on the fly to progress using Wherigo.

Estimated Time to Complete: 30 minutes to 1 hour
___________________________
How to play:

Park anywhere near the vicinity of the above coordinates, which is a parking lot.  Be sure not to park where you are not allowed, or the ensuing fines or towage fees are your problem!

Turn on your Wherigo-enabled device and open the cartridge.

Proceed to the First Stage called "Beginnings", and enjoy your walk through Topaz Park.

Upon arriving at the first stage, and all subsequent zones within the Wherigo's programing, a question will be displayed on the screen along with how you are going to answer at the bottom. There are straight forward answers where you will enter the exact answer via your Wherigo-enabled device's on screen keybord,  as well as multiple choice answers where you choose the answers from a set of three.  Please note for multiple choice that the first two are always displayed while the third is below screen, to see the third you must scroll down using the down arrow located at the bottom of the screen (this is depending on the device). When you are navigating to the next stage a little arrow is present in the top right, while the distance to your objective is displayed in the top left.

This isn't a maze so there are no dead ends, and the answers to the questions are very straight forward.  You shouldn't be able to get any of them wrong.

When you reach the last stage, you will be quite literally in the vicinity of the cache.  But the screen will still display the coordinates incase you need to write them down. Also be sure to write down your completion code, and make sure you save your game at the end when the prompt comes up!

Beware of thorns at the final. Mr. GO Team cut his finger hiding the cache. And use stealth, as you are exposed and highly visable!  

We hope you enjoy this simple Wherigo, we hope to do more in the future!



I have learned that Earwigs have decided to take residence in the cache guardian. Just be warned and don't be startled, there is nothing we can do about this. Even if you knock them all out, they just make their way back in on their own. I do encourage you to knock them out if you can do so, it does help for a short time!


Congratulations pracademics for FTF!
