AR_80's Music Trivia 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This cache has been archived.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:


THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES

This is part of an experiment with Groundspeak and integration of Augmented Reality into geocaching.

This cache requires the use of either an Android or an Iphone with the Metaverse app installed. Links to the apps are below. After installing Metaverse on your smartphone, you can start with the experience but I would recommend clicking on the profile button on the bottom right of the main Metaverse screen to set up your profile. Otherwise, Metaverse will give you a random profile name like "victorious_wobbegongshark", no joke! Go ahead and set up your profile so that your chosen nickname will show up on the Metaverse wall (if you choose to upload a selfie).

I programmed this trivia without a location-based trigger, meaning that you do not have to be in the proximity of certain coords in order to start the experience. You can solve this right now on your smartphone and then use your GPS to navigate to the final coords when you successfully complete the trivia. I only ask that you give me feedback after your Metaverse experience.
