This is a different kind of Mystery Geocache - It uses Augmented Reality technology.
George and Izzy love to geocache together, so we decided to use this AR technology to encourage you to go geocaching with more than one person! Yes, teamwork is REQUIRED to find this cache. You MUST have more than one person to find this cache. You will use the same smartphone, but there MUST be two or more in your team!
This geocache requires an Apple iOS or Android smart phone/tablet. You will need to have or download Metaverse, an app that will let you find this geocache. Click these links to get the app for Apple iOS or Android.
You must be within 30 meters of the published coordinates to start the adventure. To start, open the app and scan this QR code:
You can also use this link.
Once open, click on the AR_Geocache button, then follow the on screen directions.
When you first login to the free Metaverse app you may be asked to specify a username when signing up (your caching name would be good) or else Metaverse will assign you a random goofy one! You can do this at anytime before doing the cache.
Your team will want to have a traditional GPS or second phone to enter the final coordinates, or you can just switch apps.
Congrats to Nerd & Jock for the FTF!
Great teamwork, guys!
