Video: A geocacher approaches a metal signpost with an open top and pulls on a metal wire. A petling attached to a tape measure emerges from the post, with a plastic spider hanging beneath it. Startled by the surprise, the geocacher quickly lowers the cache back into the post while someone walks by in the background.

This geocache comes with its own prisoner! 🚨

At Gevangen ( IN ) 2019 (GC7ZNA1), a miniature prisoner is waiting for help, but reaching the logbook takes a little investigation. Would you know how to set him free? 🔐 

Video by @gc_jnetje.

Video: The video opens on a large wooden jail-themed geocache. The doors open to reveal a miniature prisoner sitting behind metal bars with tally marks, a red warning light, and a “HELP” sign on the wall. The geocacher examines the jail and interacts with the cache.

⚰️ Rest in peace? More like in GC. We’re ‘coffin’ ⚰️ Rest in peace? More like in GC. We’re ‘coffin’ up one seriously good geocache. ⚰️

🎃 Send this to someone brave enough to open it.

Video by @geheimpunkt.de. 

Video: A geocacher approaches a wooden fence and pulls aside a section. Behind the fence is a locked coffin with an ‘Official Geocache’ placard and a handle on one end. The geocacher pulls the coffin closer, examines the lock, and finds a plastic meat cleaver with the words “When is Halloween” written in German. The geocacher opens the coffin to reveal a fake skeleton swathed in fabric. The skeleton’s eyes light up and audio of the skeleton shouting, “Help me… Let me out!” begins playing. The geocacher grabs the logbook, which sits at the foot of the coffin along with some SWAG.
