AR_ Firstfield @ Sebastiani # room rental 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This cache has been archived.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:


I moved to Gaithersburg MD from Tucson AZ in October 2017. As I exited Washington Union Station on Oct 26 after enjoying an epic 4-day Amtrak train journey, I felt lost immediately because this is no longer Tucson, the toasty city that I know and love. I spent two days searching for housing, but could not find an affordable apartment with availability. At this difficult time, a homeowner allowed me to rent a room in his house and live with his family. The condition wasn't ideal, so I moved out as soon as a better apartment became available, but I remain thankful to this landlord.

This geocache takes you to the neighborhood where I rented a room and the post office where I rented a PO box for three months. To tour my next apartment, try GC81E6A.

Cache is not at posted coordinates. It is a short walk away. To find out where the cache is, you'll need the Metaverse app:

  1. Download for Android or download for iOS.

  3. Follow in-app prompts.

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.
