Ready for a fun filled afternoon of caching and puzzle solving?
Then shuffle your truffles down to Old Town Park in Tacoma for the
first annual
Goondocks
Geocaper!
Saturday July 22
12:00 Noon
The Geocaper (Geocaching and Puzzling Event Race) is a team
puzzling and caching event based off of the popular movie "The
Goonies". Few locals know that long, long ago, yet another treasure
was hidden somewhere in the midst of Old Town. A plan was made in
order to protect it from the evil Fratelli clan. Since Mama
Fratelli and her two bumbling sons aren't very smart, the key to
the treasure lies in a complex chain of mindbending puzzles. Will
your team be the first to find the treasure?
Details and rules?
We got 'em: the event will start at 12PM on Saturday, July 22 in
Old Town Park. Check-In will be from 12-12:30. The race begins
promptly at 12:30. Teams of 3 to 6 players will have approximately
5 1/2 hours to solve 9 puzzles hidden in the Old Town and the
Ruston waterfront areas of Tacoma. The course will be about 3 1/2
miles long and all travel between cache/puzzle sites must be on
foot. No other transportion is permitted. Team members may have a
GPS, cell phone, writing implement, and paper. No laptops, etc.
will be allowed. "Ye Olde Cheat Sheet" will be provided to help
solve the various puzzles. Teams can expect to spend more time
solving puzzles than traveling. Teams may travel at their own pace,
however, there will be a final cut-off time to complete the course.
Each team must travel as a group at all times. The team with the
highest score wins. Details about scoring will be given prior to
the event. In case of a tie, the fastest team wins. Team tallies
and final results will be given at a post-event potluck at the
final location. If you are interested please send either of us an
e-mail with the following:
1) Team Name
2) Team Captain and e-mail
3) Other Team members
We have space availabe for 12 teams. The deadline for team
reservations is July 8. We hope to see you there!
For those who would like to participate but not compete, we are
looking for 6-8 volunteers to help staff puzzle locations during
the event. If you are interested, drop us a line!
