Geocache Description:

Having noticed that the movie theatre here in Dartmouth Crossing had no movie related puzzle associated with it, we just couldn’t help ourselves. This puzzle, if you hadn’t already guessed, is based on the movie “The Matrix”. It’s one of my favourite movies and also the inspiration for the name “Neo2199” so making this puzzle was both appropriate and an entirely enjoyable endeavour.

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. They would likely have you in the lineup waiting to buy some popcorn. All you need to do to find the actual coordinates is to solve the word search puzzle below. Simply pluck the list of Matrix related words out of the puzzle and you will have the final cache location.

Just to make it interesting, the word “one” appears three times: once in the puzzle, once in the solution and once just by chance. It wasn’t intentional but now it’s officially part of the puzzle. Good luck with that!

The cache is a small sized container about the size of a vitamin bottle. It should be an easy park and grab once the puzzle is solved.

It also might be a good idea to combine finding this cache with dinner and a movie as there are many nearby options. Good luck and happy hunting.

Congrats to 4frenchfrys for FTF


Thanks to K-romers for noticing that the word NEO apears twice. I checked it out myself and found it three times. I guess it's also now officially part of the puzzle :)
