Team-Ducky: Unfortunately, the custom containers we made for this cache have rusted shut. Doh! We are archiving the cache. Perhaps, some time in the future, the floating (Egg) Shell Game will return. Our thanks to everyone who played.

Geocache Description:

Like most Shell Games, the original was shut down. Never fear, though, there is always another Shell Game ready for the next....player. Come on, test your luck, it isn't hard.

Welcome to Another Shell Game
New location, but the game's the same.
Answer the classic riddle;
Right, Left, or in the Middle?
Guessed wrong? Well, then..;
Go ahead, guess again!
Play as much as you desire.
(Usually the stakes are higher.)
Eventually, you'll make the find.
And the log can then be signed.
Trade an item quid pro quo
One more thing before you go...
Hands be quick, hands be deft!
Shuffle ‘em! Middle, Right, and Left!
Keep it secret, please don't tell.
The new secret of the shell.
The game is nimble, the game is wily.
Ready for the next to find the smiley.

(Unlike the original shell game, this one is not located on a dead-end. Please pull of the road and park legally before looking for the cache. While this road is not well-traveled, there is still the potential for traffic, so searchers should maintain awareness and search in a safe manner.)
