AR_Cleveland, USA 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This cache has been archived.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:




augmented reality - step 1:
Download the Metaverse app:

augmented reality - step 2:
Travel to the posted coordinates


This AR adventure works similar to a Wherigo in that being in close proximity of the established "zone" is required for the adventure to begin. Note, this cache only requires visiting one place, however the possibilities are endless on how AR caches can be created.

augmented reality - step 3:
Open the AR_Cleveland, USA (GC82TNH) AR experience.


From the Metaverse homescreen, search SuperNate, and then choose this cache from the list. As of January 2019, this cache is the only one I have created. Also, this is only the THIRD published AR cache in Tennessee.
NOTE: Take a paper and pen along to take notes.

augmented reality - step 4:
Find the cache.


Did you get the coordinates for the cache? Great! The container is roughly 1,000 feet away (give or take). The terrain rating is a 2.5, mainly due to the last 100 feet or so. Otherwise, walking there is along a flat, paved sidewalk. (Pro-tip: Check your map, you *might* be walking past another cache along the way.)

augmented reality - step 5:
Rate your experience.


Did you enjoy this AR experience? Our friends at Geocaching HQ want to hear from you. In fact, here's a special message from them they asked to include on this cache:

“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 intends to grandfather published AR caches. 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.”
