We kicked off the 2026 hiding themes with a challenge to look twice at their surroundings. Hidden in plain sight—urban edition covered clever, camouflaged geocaches that blend into everyday urban surroundings.
From February 1 through March 31, geocachers around the world nominated caches they hid or found in 2026, turning inconspicuous objects and placements into extraordinary adventures.
The first hiding theme of 2026 is hidden in plain sight: urban edition. This theme covers clever, camouflaged geocaches that blend into everyday urban surroundings.
Each quarter, we will introduce a new hiding theme to celebrate geocaches published in 2026. We will also feature geocaches from each theme on the Geocaching Blog and social media.
