My 6-year-old daughter has been going geocaching with me for the past couple of years and she is now hooked, especially when SWAG is involved. As it is only a short leap from playing treasure hunters to playing spies, I recently taught her a number of simple ciphers which she absolutely loves doing. I also gave her a trackable - her first and a pink unicorn at that - which we have just sent on a trip to every country around the world. In short, logic, mathematics and geography are covered.
Lately, she has been asking about having her own geocache so we decided we should hide one near our home so she can perform the maintenance herself. Sadly, this one is not big enough to contain trackables or much SWAG, but she is looking forward to keeping an eye on it as we walk home from school every day.
Please post a few lines and share a photo when you log it, so she can read it when she gets home from school. It will make her day.
As I mentioned at the start, she is now a cipher expert, so it was only to be expected that she'd want this geocache to be of the Mystery kind. Brace yourselves as we have applied multiple ciphers but, as we don't want anyone to get stuck, there are very obvious clues. The difficulty rating reflects the number of ciphers used and the work it takes to decode them by hand rather than using online tools. You will need to resolve cipher 1 in order to decode cipher 2. Best of luck!
