Whereigo Information

What is a Wherigo Geocache?
Wherigo is a way of utilizing GPS technology to play games, take tours, and yes geocache.


Do I need special equipment?
Yes! To find this cache the proper way and to truly experience the hunt the way it was meant to be experienced, you will need two things:


  1. The Wherigo Player
  2. The "Dot and the Kangaroo" cartridge

GARMIN GPSr

The Wherigo Player comes pre installed on the Garmin Colorado & Oregon series GPSr units. If you have one of those, all you have to do is download the game cartridge below, connect up your GPSr to your computer, then copy the cartridge file into the whereigo folder on your GPSr.


ANDROID DEVICES

If you have an Android Smartphone, you will need an App such as Geooh Go geocaching app (see HERE),> or C:Geo (see HERE),> which have a whereigo player built into them.



iPHONE/iPAD

If you have an iPhone, you can use the free App - Whereigo previously called (PiGo) .

I know nothing about iPhones so have no idea where you put the cartridge.







Big hints now for playing a whereigo.

When you play a whereigo, you will be presented with a main window with Locations, What Your See, Inventory etc. You will be required to carry out some action such as go to a Location, look at something you see, do something with an item in your inventory.
If you get stuck in the game and nothing is being presented to you, PRESS THE BACK BUTTON ON YOUR DEVICE until you are back to the main window. You may now see a location or item or task that wasn't there before, check them out.
