AR_Escape - Canoe Trip 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This cache has been archived.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_Escape - Canoe Trip!  This is a play anywhere AR.  In fact, I recommend playing it at home as it may take you a little time.  In this AR, you are almost back to the landing from a long day of canoeing - when something happens.  Once you figure out how to escape and get back to your canoe, you will get the final coordinates.  If you like this AR and have suggestions for another Escape AR, I am open to suggestions for new Escapes as well as puzzles that can go into it.  Please let me know how you liked this experience.

This is not meant to be easy.  If you are looking for a quick AR, this is not it.  Also, don't worry, there is no math involved.

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:

“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.”
