Geocache Description:


The Magic of Music

Music Quotes

These coordinates are bogus, if you follow them they will take you to another place that is often filled with music, but unfortunately, not to the cache. You must solve this puzzle to obtain the correct coordinates.

This is a modified Sudoku puzzle using music symbols instead of the numbers 1-9. I first saw a music Sudoku puzzle at the 16th Annual Texas Geocache Challenge and Festival at Denton, Texas in March, 2018 and immediately knew it would make a great puzzle cache. Sudoku and Geocaching are two of my favorite pastimes and now I have combined them for your enjoyment too.

This puzzle will definitely test your Sudoku skills, require a little knowledge of music notation and electronic spreadsheets and maybe just a pinch of good old fashioned luck to solve and find the cache.

FTF PRIZE: Silver Treble Clef bookmark. Other musical themed trade items are in the cache, if you take one please leave one of equal or higher value.

Print out the Sudoku puzzle so you can fill in the blanks using the example music notations already given in the puzzle, then convert the notes to numbers to calculate the final coordinates. Good luck and have fun with it. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Music Sudoku Puzzle

The four stars below the puzzle indicate the level of difficulty of this puzzle on a 1-5 scale if it were a regular Sudoku puzzle using the numbers 1-9.
