What is the Adventure Lab app?

The Geocaching Adventure Lab app is a new way for geocachers to find and log Lab Caches. 

Lab Caches are an experimental geocache type often played at Mega-Events. These caches count towards your geocaching statistics and total finds. In contrast to other cache types, Lab Caches are not required to have a container and can also be located indoors. This allows Lab Cache owners to innovate and test new ideas to make geocaching even more fun!

We are soft launching the Adventure Lab app to the geocaching community, as Geocaching HQ continues to experiment with new technologies for Adventures.

What advantages does the Adventure app offer?

Media-rich storytelling — We are just getting started with this. Currently, the app allows creators to embed videos, imagery, and text for each location. We expect more opportunities in the future.

Public directory — View all publicly available Adventures. No need for a QR code or link, if it’s a public Adventure.

Location validation — Lab Caches can only be logged by finders within a distance determined by the creator. This is an often requested feature from creators who wish to limit cheating by people who do not actively visit the Adventure locations.

Linear gameplay — Adventure creators may choose for their Lab Caches to be played in a specific order, allowing for more creative storytelling.

Who is experimenting with Adventure app?

In 2019, Geocaching HQ extended the Adventure Lab experiment globally. A select number of geocaching organizations and 250 qualified geocachers received the chance to create Adventures. Each person who creates an Adventure must follow the Adventure Lab guidelines. These Adventures will remain active for at least six months, or potentially longer, for the community to enjoy.

Task:

Take a part in Adventure Lab called "Signal Receiver is visiting Druskininkai" to reveal 6 words (1st word = A, 2nd = B, ... , 6th = F) The word (or letter) value, also known as digital root, is a well known geocaching method to turn words or characters into numbers. A value is assigned to each character and those values are summed and sometimes summed again to end up with only one digit, the latter is sometime called the row sum method or digital root. There are multiple ways to assign values to characters, the default assignment is A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26.

Example:

DONKEY: D=4, O=15, N=14, K=11, E=5, Y=25

4+15+14+11+5+25=74

7+4=11

1+1=2

Word DONKEY=2

Formula:

54 00.[F-E][A+B][D-B]

23 59.[A+C][E+F][D-A]

GOOD LUCK!!!

P.S. due to many reasons (not perfectly working GPS, weather and the trees) final coordinates can be a bit off. Feel free to attach your version.
