AR_Sparklebritt's Fishing Adventure Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin: From June 06, 2018 until March 06, 2019, Geocaching HQ conducted an Augmented Reality (AR) experiment. During that time, cache owners were allowed to submit Mystery Caches that required the finder to download and use an AR app to find the cache. The goal of the experiment was to see how the geocaching community would use AR technology. Cache owners placed more than 600 AR caches around the world!

Unfortunately, the AR apps which met HQ’s requirements for the experiment have been or are currently in the process of being discontinued. As a result, it is currently not possible for finders to have the AR experience that was originally intended. Therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active AR caches placed during the experiment period. We are respectfully requesting that all AR cache owners please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

As technology evolves, we look forward to seeing how Augmented Reality might have future applications for geocaching. Thank you to all cache owners who participated in the experiment!

Geocache Description:


NOTE: The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Welcome to AR_Sparklebritt's Fishing Adventure!  This AR cache is location locked.  You will need to go to the posted coordinates in order to play it.  In this AR, you will meet sparklebritt and partake in a Fishing adventure to find 5 rainbow fish.  Once at the posted coordinates, either scan the barcode or use the link under it to start the AR. 

Sparklebritt is a Kentucky cacher who was in the area and tried out several of my AR caches.  She requested that I put one in Auburn so that she can find it when she comes back to Michigan in a couple months.  Also noteworthy, sparklebritt created the first AR cache in Kentucky.   Please let me know how you liked this experience.

On June 6, 2018 Geocaching HQ announced a new Augmented Reality (AR) geocaching experience. This is a simple Augmented Reality cache that I created. You will need to use an android/iOS phone, tablet or other compatible mobile device to experience it. This Augmented Reality experience can be played using the Metaverse app which you can find here:


Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gometa.metaverse
iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/metaverse-ar-browser/id1159155137?mt=8

“This cache is part of an experiment that allows the use of Augmented Reality (AR) apps to find the cache. At the end of this experiment, Geocaching HQ will decide if this cache will be grandfathered or archived. Geocaching HQ reserves the right to archive this cache at any time if conditions change. If you have found this cache and would like to give feedback on your experience, please fill out this survey.”
Geocaching and Augmented Reality (AR) Survey
