Geocaching Adventure Lab\u00ae<\/a> is a new app from Geocaching HQ that allows you to create, play, and share unique outdoor scavenger hunts, experiences, and games. The Adventure Lab\u00ae app guides players through the process of finding clues, solving puzzles, and completing Adventures one Location at a time. Simply sign in with your Geocaching username to answer clues at each Location and add to your find count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adventure Lab pins are only visible to Geocaching Premium members on the Geocaching\u00ae app<\/a>. Basic members can still play Adventures from the Adventure Lab\u00ae app but they will not see starting location pins on their app geocaching map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cache_icon_type_adventure_40@4x.png\"){kind=icon}
