Geocaching is often described as a treasure hunt, but sometimes the real treasure isn’t what’s inside the container—it’s the heartfelt messages geocachers leave in their logs.

Geocaching is delightful because of the people who play it — adventure-seekers, makers, parents, astronauts and (sometimes) celebrities. Read their stories.
Geocaching events went big in 2025!
When HQ announced that the 25th anniversary of geocaching would include Block Parties around the world, we expected a big response. The community surpassed our expectations: geocachers hosted 122 Block Parties in 2025!
We asked you: what are your geocaching goals for 2026?
A new year is a natural moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead. In geocaching, that can mean setting a clear goal—or simply staying open to wherever the game leads next.
Some geocachers start the year with a plan, like completing a challenge, exploring new places, or focusing on a favorite cache type or difficulty. Others take a more flexible approach, fitting geocaching into everyday life and using it as a way to get outside and connect with their community.
We asked geocachers to share what they’ve set out to accomplish in 2026.
A recap of our fourth 2025 hiding theme: Blast from the past! ⏳
In 2025, we celebrated 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 featured geocaches from that quarter’s theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.
For our fourth and final hiding theme of the year, each nomination helped us revisit memorable moments in geocaching. We struck retro gold with your ‘blast’tastic nominations and discovered caches that could make a highlight reel titled “geocaching’s greatest hits.”

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)?
