Video: A geocacher approaches a mounted wooden box in a snowy forest setting. They hold a flashlight to the underside of the box and focus the camera through a small peephole on the front door, where the number “888” is visible. They then enter the numbers into a padlock and remove it, swinging open the door of the geocache.

Video: Two geocachers are standing on the side of a road; behind them are several traffic signs. One geocacher holds their hands together and bends down. The other geocacher uses their hands as a step and climbs up to reach the top of one of the traffic signs. They reattach a small geocache container to the edge of the sign before stepping back down to the ground. Both geocachers turn to face the camera, smiling.

Image: A geocacher holds a large wooden box. The visible sides of the box are covered with metal bottle caps that have been screwed in. The geocacher’s right hand lifts one bottle cap from the top; another bottle cap from the camera-facing side is pulled out to reveal a bison tube.

❄️Geocaching HQ wishes you Happy Holidays ❄️

🍰 What geocaching ingredients go into your cake? Let us know in the comments! 🍰

Video: The opening shot shows frog hands opening an oven to reveal a cake. The next sequence of shots shows different geocaching containers being placed into a mixing bowl. These ingredients include bison tubes, a mushroom, snails, a micro microwave, a logbook, a gem, steel bolts, and a geocaching travel bug®. The frog’s hands proceed to mix all ingredients and pour them into a baking mold. The mold goes into the oven and transitions to the next shot, where a fully baked cake comes out, reading “Happy Holidays from Geocaching HQ.”

Video by scottevangeocaching.

Video: The video opens to a wooden structure with two locked compartments. 
A geocacher opens the upper compartment to reveal a large Plinko-inspired pegboard. They slide a small coin up a vertical track on the right side of the board and let it fall down the face of the Plinko board. The coin bounces between pegs, eventually falling into one of several holes at the bottom of the board. They open the bottom compartment to reveal a large geocache full of trackables, SWAG, and a log sheet. A sign reads “Winner, winner, chicken dinner!”
