Geocache Description:

"Candy Land"
Candy Castle

This is a puzzle cache the coordinates listed will not take you to the cache.


Once upon a time, King Kandy, the Imperial Head Bonbon and Grand Jujube of Candy Land, disappeared. It was a bright, sunny morning and to everyone's surprise, the King and his fabulous Candy Castle simply were no longer where they should be...

HISTORY -- The game was designed in 1945 by Eleanor Abbott when she was recovering from Polio. The game was bought by Milton Bradley (now owned by Hasbro) and first published in 1949.
Hasbro produces several versions of the game and treats it as a brand. For example, they market Candy Land puzzles, a travel version, a PC game, and a handheld electronic version. A December, 2005 article in Forbes magazine analyzed the most popular American toys by decade, with help from the Toy Industry Association. Candy Land led the list for the 1940-1949 decade.
GAME PLAY -- The race is woven around a storyline about finding the lost king of Candy Land. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet. The remaining pink spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters such as Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt.
This cache is part of a series of caches place during a event.
