Geocaches are more than just containers; they’re about outdoor adventure, exploration, and community. Sometimes they’re even the gift that keeps on giving.
Attached to a fence in New York is a creative gadget geocache published by MoDaRiMa as a thank you to another geocacher. If you’re on the fence about which cache to try next, may we suggest Joey’s Cache (GC8Z57B)?
We’ve officially signed, sealed, and delivered World Postcard Day!
This year, over 20,000 geocachers attended Events around the world to celebrate their shared love of postcards and adventure. We looked through every Event Cache gallery and were awestruck by the creative postcards, log sheets, and group photos.
We’re still seeing attended logs and postcards arrive, but here are some standout moments so far.
Passion, creativity, and community spirit—these are the qualities that define Micha and Karolin, the geocaching power couple from Hamburg, Germany, better known as Rucksackabenteuer.

In 2025, we’re celebrating a major milestone—25 years of geocaching! To mark this special anniversary, we introduced a new hiding theme per quarter to celebrate geocaches published in 2025. Every three months, we feature geocaches from the previous quarter’s theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.
Our third theme, hidden gems, was a shining success! We loved seeing all the ways you, the community, interpreted the theme. All nominations were polished to perfection, and we are excited to keep the spirit going by sharing some inspiration for the last hiding theme.
The fourth theme: Blast from the past ⏳⏪🎉 (25 Years of Geocaching)
Geocaching is celebrating 25 years this year! Over the last two and a half decades, we’ve made some great memories. Now, we’re asking you to get sentimental and hide some nostalgic geocaches that celebrate the past.
