Geocache Description:


Another Wherigo adventure brought to you by bflentje. The final cache is hidden somewhere within two miles of the listed coordinates and you may or may not need to get wet in order to score the goods, depending on your approach.

This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box", which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.

The concept of the Reverse Wherigo is based on the same principal as the Reverse CacheBox that you can see here and you can start it from any location in the world. It will send you to the final by way of only the amount of feet away from the cache that you are. A bit harder than getting the coordinates first I would say :) You have to move in a direction to see if you are closer to the cache...Give it a try....Once you actually find the spot it will give you a code and you can use that code to build your own reverse wherigo.

The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister- and is available to download from the wherigo.com website. -Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family. Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.

To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:

904377

857840

965182

It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.

Optional:

When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.

At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so. -Waldmeister- would like you to inform him of your new edition of his handiwork. Please do not include hints in your log about where and how you found the cache.

What is Wherigo?

For those of you who don't know, Wherigo was created as a means to introduce the adventure game concept into geocaching by making it easy for anyone to create and play location-based adventures in the real world. Using Wherigo, the physical world becomes the background for engaging story lines and location-specific virtual entertainment.

Wherigo is a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world. Rather than searching for puzzle clues on a screen, you look for them in the field. Using Wherigo, you can create interactive tours, adventure games and puzzles... the possibilities are endless.
