Geocaching is delightful because of the people who play it — adventure-seekers, makers, parents, astronauts and (sometimes) celebrities. Read their stories.
We asked you: what makes a quality geocache?
When you find a cache, what makes it stand out as a quality cache? For some, it’s about creativity. For others, it’s about location, storytelling, or thoughtful placement.
While it’s easy to point out what doesn’t work—like damaged containers or soggy logs—defining what makes a cache great is much more subjective.
We asked geocachers to share what quality means to them.
Maker Magic is back!
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!
Spreading the love, one log at a time
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 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!
