Looking for even more location-based game opportunities? Well, we’ve got news for you! Snag the Tag has a new game starting on November 19. Launched in 2018 by two avid geocachers, Snag the Tag is an outdoor activity similar to geocaching with a competitive edge. Like geocaching, there are hiders and finders. A hider purchases a hider packet from Shop Geocaching or a participating distribution partner and then hides the tags from their packet. The finders sign up at Snag the Tag to learn the locations of the hides and then it’s a race to find the hidden tags (note: the tags are not placed in geocaches).

The theme of this Snag the Tag game is Geocaching High and Low in celebration of the inter-planetary heights that geocaching reached with a trackable traveling to Mars and the thrilling depths achieved with a geocache placed at the Mariana Trench. Players will be on the hunt for two tags, a “High” tag featuring Signal the Frog® on Mars and a “Low” tag featuring Signal in a submarine.

How to participate:

For hiders

• To hide tags for this Snag the Tag game, players must first purchase a hider packet from Shop Geocaching or a participating distributor partner. Each hider pack includes one geocoin and tag set for the hider to keep and two tags for the hider to hide.
• Once the hider has their hider packet, they can hide the two tags at locations of their choosing.
• Finally, the hider must create an account on Snag the Tag’s website, sign up for the game, and register the hiding locations of their two tags so that finders can start looking for them.

For finders

• To participate in the Snag the Tag game, finders must register for the game by creating an account on Snag the Tag’s website.
• The locations of hidden tags will start being published on November 19, 2021 and the game will last through January 24, 2022.
• A map on the Snag the Tag website will show the coordinate locations of hidden tags around the world. Players can also receive email notifications when the location of a newly hidden tag is published.
• Once a player finds a tag, they must claim it (using the code on the back) as soon as possible to remove it from the map.
• Players who find a tag can redeem it to earn a unique trackable High/Low geocoin that matches the tag. Rules for redeeming will vary by country.
