To unlock the cache's coordinates, score at least 500 points on the Cacher level of the Whack-A-Cacher Townsville Cartridge
The Cartridge: Has been tested on an iphone with only very occasional problems. However I have been told by another tester that it was unstable on the Android platform. Apologies if this is the case for you. It should also be compatible with some Garmin devices.
The cartridge can be played anywhere however I would suggest going to the listed coordinates at Peggy Banfield Park to begin as you need an area the size of a rugby field to play.
The Game: If you have played whack-a-mole as a kid in an arcade, you're already familiar with the concept. If not, that's okay. In this game, local cachers will randomly appear on the field for varying lengths of time. To whack the cachers and score points, you must reach them before they move somewhere else. You have five minutes to whack as many as you can.
To warm up (or if the kids want a go) you may select the difficulty level (game field size) and who to whack: Muggles, Forum Moderators, or Cachers.
The Power-Ups: Power-ups will occasionally pop up in the game. Each power-up is covered in detail in the Instructions section of the cartridge. In short: the Atomic Hammer whacks everything, Gold Hammer everything within 50' for 45 seconds, Black Hole shrinks the field, Extender expands the field, Angry Muggle takes a bite out of your score, Bomb clears the field, and Acceleratron makes time go faster. Learn which to get for a higher score and which to leave alone!
Logging A Find: To log a find, you need to score at least 500 points on the Cacher level. When you achieve this the coordinates will be revealed at the end of the game. If you want to compete for the high score post it with your log.
This cache is the Australian import of Ranger Fox's Whack-a-Lackey GC1CE5Z. Many thanks to him for making this great game open source so that others can enjoy it.
Congratulations to Karicka for being the FTF.
