Geocache Description:


** THE CACHE NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES **

It is definitely not located at the play ground. Don't search there.

This is Wherigo adventure for your geocaching pleasure. In order to find the geocache, you must play the Wherigo cartridge, which will provide you with everything you need to know to find the cache.

When playing the cartridge, listen to Santa's story about the dreadful night his sleigh crashed. After the story he will assign you the task of clean-up. Use his story and all of the information you have available to you to complete the task.

Santa's task involves a puzzle. For some of you this may be a pretty quick experience. But for the rest of you it may take some thought and could be a struggle. If you need a hint feel free to reach out using the Message Center.

What is Wherigo?

For those of you who don't know, Wherigo was created as a means to introduce the adventure game concept into geocaching by making it easy for anyone to create and play location-based adventures in the real world. Using Wherigo, the physical world becomes the background for engaging story lines and location-specific virtual entertainment.. the possibilities are endless.

How can I play this Cartridge?

You'll need the appropriate Wherigo player for your device (Android smartphone, iPhone, Pocket PC, Garmin Oregon or Colorado etc). If you do not have an app already installed on your device, search for "Wherigo player" in your device's associated App Store, download it and install it. Once you have a player, you'll need to download the Wherigo "cartridge", which is fancy term for the computer file that stores the Wherigo game. When downloading the cartridge using the link below, be sure to select the cartridge type that is compatible with your device (almost all smart-phones should use the "Pocket PC" cartridge type).

Download the Ho-Ho-Whoahh Wherigo Cartridge..

This Wherigo cartridge has been tested using both an online Wherigo player and the most popular Wherigo app for Android smartphone.

The final geocache container is hidden in an area that could have a muggle or two wandering by on occasions but you should have enough privacy. Regardless, please use discretion when looking for the cache.

While this cartridge was design to play on all devices, if you use a Garmin device some of the audio elements may be lost.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
