About This Cache: 

Road to the Super Bowl - Playbook

 

What a season it has been! There has been some creative ones, quick grabs, long hikes, puzzles, multi-stages, letterboxes, Ammo boxes, micros, good camos, and a little bit of everything in-between! After a long and fun season, the road is almost over! Now is the time where it all comes together. However, it will not be an easy task. Playbooks are the heart of football teams, and preventing others from getting their hands on it is very important.

The difficulty of this cache does not come from the need to gather all the other caches, but from the tricks that it will take to keep this playbook out of enemy’s hands. Special tools will be required but sharing which secret tools will be needed will give away the secret!    ** NOTE** I’ll give one hint, a hammer is not needed!!! **

Although this cache could be brute forced or disassembled, but please do not go this route. It will take the fun away from you to solve this puzzle, and could affect future cacher’s journey. It might take you a few visits to figure out the secret, but remember to replace the cache how you found it after each attempt.

Once you open the cache, you will be presented with the secret playbook for the final cache of this series! The playbook is for your eyes only!


Good luck and enjoy!

About The Series:

"ROAD TO THE SUPER BOWL"

Welcome to the NFL football season. What would the NFL season be like without a new football cache series to find? Throughout the football weeks, bluepant and mob1971, will be hiding a series of different style NFL team caches. These caches hope to excite the football fanatics and also teach the not so football savvy some things about each team. These caches will provide clues and information to our Super Bowl cache finale called "Road to the Super Bowl"

PRESEASON GAMES (Teaser caches, does not include the needed hints for the series finale cache):
DALLAS TEXANS and CANTON BULLDOGS

 


Series Finale:
Stage 1 – Playbook
Stage 2 – Super Bowl

Each cache will contain a trivia question about that team that could be critical to finding the final cache "Road to the Super Bowl". Please make sure you take time to read your playbook and keep up with the questions and answers in preparation for the FINAL exam. Please DO NOT POST any of the answers or questions in your logs. If you have any questions regarding the trivia questions, feel free to email bluepant or mob1971. The FINAL playbook will contain a variety of questions from the above caches in order to obtain the "Road to the Super Bowl" coordinates (HINT: Answers to FINAL playbook will come from a number of caches you found during the season, so I would hate for you to try to skip one or two of the caches and miss a question). Have fun and enjoy this series.
