ZAP!!!!! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ProcrastinatingWoman: The tree decided to be a conductor so the new "Zapper" wouldn't work. Too bad. We had a lot of fun with this one. Maybe we can figure it out another time. :(

Geocache Description:

Another FUN gadget cache.


Upon arriving at this geocache you will find a bird house! This is no normal bird house though. This bird house has metal objects protruding from it. What do I do you ask? Well first let us look at a few FACTS:

FACT: This cache uses electricity.

FACT: Electricity WILL flow through your body in order to complete the circuit.

FACT: You have to make the choice of which two bolts to grab and squeeze! Being afraid to squeeze will result in no smiley!

FACT: DC voltage can be felt at as little as 5mA! How much will this cache produce?

Before attempting this cache, ask yourself this! Is there enough electricity (voltage) in this cache to cause me pain! After completing the circuit, the cache will provide you with the necessary combination to the lock, as long as you are looking at the cache correctly! To complete the circuit, you will need to select two of the protruding metal objects and squeeze one with each hand. Continue to choose combinations of metal objects until the cache reveals the hidden code. The combination lock can be opened by entering the first 3 letters of the bottom color the cache revealed when you completed the circuit.

To enter the combination, turn the dial 3 times to the left to clear it, then turn the dial to the right and stop at the first letter, turn left 1 FULL turn, passing the first letter, and stopping at the second letter, turn the dial to the right and stop at the third letter. This is a new lock and it has been finicky at times, if it does not open, repeat the above process.

Please put everything back as you found it and reset the lock. Please do not give away anything about this cache in your logs!

It is your job to interact with the container to retrieve the log. If you enjoy this type of cache, let us know by your logs.

A Special Thanks to the gadget cache developer for sharing his ideas on how to create gadget caches.
