AR_A trip to the movies Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

thebruce0: Sad to see this one go, I really loved the concept and creating this AR. But without an official first-party support for the software, the sequence was prone to breaking, and one of the platforms has decided to move on. Maybe in the future, Geocacher Cinemas will reopen for public service!
Thanks to everyone who visited and played along with the experiment!

Geocache Description:


Augmented Reality Geocache


This cache is an Augmented Reality geocache. It requires two apps: Recommend downloading both apps before heading to the posted coordinates.

To begin the experience, run Metaverse and scan this launcher, or tap it and load the link in your mobile browser (it should launch the app, don't worry if it says Experience Not Found):

n/a

And you'll be off to the races! Follow the instructions, complete the task, find the cache!

Some AR Tips!

  • These AR experiences save as you go. If at any point the AR app seems to hang, you can end the experience or kill the app and reload to continue.
  • In this experience you'll be switching between the apps. Just follow the instructions.
In Metaverse:
  • At a waypoint, if the camera view opens, look up and look around until you find the character! If you want to lock them in place, on iOS and Android tap the icon in the top corner and you'll be prompted to "Pin" them to a surface - move the camera around slowly until the dot on a surface turns green, then hit Pin (you can also resize the character by pinching them).
  • If you receive a "Network Error", you can cancel and restart. In this experience that won't lose any progress.
  • If you receive a popup after ending it saying the experience is complete there may still be more to to come; you can 'Skip' without 'Sharing' your experience, and return to it later.
  • Note: If at any time you want to start the experience over from the beginning, "Visit the dump" to clear your inventory, then head back to the posted coordinates.
HP Reveal:
  • For this experience you will need to follow a link that will prompt to be opened in the HP Reveal app. You might need to enter the link manually in an external mobile browser window for it to work.
  • You need to "follow" an account or campaign in order for the app to recognize the image to be scanned. Once followed, return to the top level list of "auras" in the app and look for the button with the square reticle (should be bottom center) that will open the camera.
  • You don't need an HP Reveal account to use the "aura". If coming from a link, you can tap "follow" and then tap "open in app to follow" for the aura to work.
  • Look for the square bracket icon ("[ ]") likely at the bottom of the window and tap to open the camera view.
  • Make sure the target image is clear and visible in the camera for it to be recognized.
