1. The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
   You'll need to finish all the experiences to get the final coordinates.
    
2. There are 13 experiences (stages) in this cache. Each stage can only be played within 30m of defined waypoint, you can check the map inside metaverse. (Check the image below to learn how to open the map inside metaverse.)
   
   
   
    
3. There's no specific sequence to complete the experiences. However, you must finish the tutorial stage first to continue the experiences. And you don't have to play all the experiences in once, you could play the experiences separately in diffierent time. 
    
4. The turtorial stage will needed to take photos (no selfie required), the low light area might cause some detection issues. If you have this kind of problems, please try again in daytime. 
    
5. AR cache is an experimental cache type so far, if you have any questions or difficulty of playing the experience, please feel free to contact CO.
    
6. If you are not familiar with the AR cache, you could try AR_Stone Soup (GC7VMMH) first. This is another AR cache of mine which could be played at anywhere.
    
7. Different AR cache may use different AR app, this cache is using "metaverse". Active internet connection is required. If you started the experience and nothing pop up, be patient, most likely, it is network issue.
    
8. For the better game experience, use the earphones would be recommended, because some of the experiences may have the sound effect. And I'll also recommend you to bring a power bank with you, in case your phone will run out of the battery while you're playing the experiences.
    
9. Please DON'T post the answers of the experiences, and any hints or spoiler photos of final GZ in your log, or the log will be deleted without inform.
    
10. Please be careful while you're playing the experiences, CO has no responsibility for your own safety. Please DON'T play the experiences while you're walking.
     
11. Please note that this cache may take about two hours to finish the game experience.
