Introducing 2025 Cache Hiding Themes

In 2025, we’re celebrating a major milestone—25 years of geocaching! To mark this special anniversary, we’re introducing a new hiding theme per quarter to celebrate geocaches published in 2025.

We aim to inspire geocachers to hide (and find!) caches that showcase the creativity, innovation, and sense of adventure that make geocaching special.

The 2025 themes:

  • Frogs 🐸
    January 28 – March 5, 2025
  • Back to Nature 🌲🍃
    March 26 – June 5, 2025
  • Hidden Gems 🗺️ 💎
    June 25 – September 5, 2025
  • Blast from the Past 📚📺 (25 Years of Geocaching) 🗓️
    October 1 – December 5, 2025

How it works:

Themes are open to interpretation, so let your creativity shine! Be sure to follow the geocache hiding guidelines. Every three months, we’ll feature geocaches from that quarter’s theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.

The first theme: Frogs 🐸
