Geocaching is delightful because of the people who play it — adventure-seekers, makers, parents, astronauts and (sometimes) celebrities. Read their stories.
The joy of finally finding a well-hidden container. The surprise and delight at encountering a clever gadget cache. The twinkle in a cacher’s eye when signing a logbook. It’s all magic.
We’re bringing back that magical feeling with Maker Magic, a moment of celebration and inspiration for creative cache hides. Will you host a DIY cache building workshop or lead a discussion on crafting the perfect puzzle? The magic is in your hands!
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.
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!
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.
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.”
