Geocache Description:


Well, it's that time once again... prepare yourself for yet another My Odd Hobby puzzle. I can already hear you groaning... LOL.

This puzzle involves a specific interest for me, one that took up *a lot* of my time starting roughly two years ago, for somewhat obvious reasons. I know I already have a puzzle about Pokemon, but this one is a little bit different - for a couple of reasons.

The Puzzle:

I wanted to make a puzzle that paid tribute to some of my favorite video games, but I had too many good ideas for just one puzzle. I thought about creating a puzzle-multi similar to what I did with G.O.B., but that one had issues with both maintaining all the stages and just not being found all that much. So, I came up with a different idea of how to incorporate multiple puzzles into one.

Below are multiple different puzzles involving many different video games. But there's a twist here: only one of the puzzles gives the correct solution. You could get lucky and get the right solution on the first try OR you could be unlucky and have to solve them all. The puzzles shouldn't be too difficult by themselves, the difficulty is more for the time invested. If you have any micros who are into this kind of stuff, you can bribe them with the FTF prize - a $10 gift card to Gamestop. ;) I won't put this off any longer, so here are your puzzles:

Parterre Way, Avance Trail, Mamoswine Road, Menhir Trail, Palais Lane, Winding Woods
Muraille Coast, Versant Road, Ouvert Way, Mélancolie Path, Brun Way, Vallée Étroite Way, Rivière Walk

The Cache:

That's it for the puzzles! The coords are able to be checked down below in the built-in checker. Once you have them, you're good to go find this regular-sized cache. I started it off with some gaming-related swag, please don't take anything unless you have something related to leave. And please hide it back well, a muggle might take off with it if they see it. That's it, good luck and don't forget to play the game within the game!

Congrats to MIKEY MAC on the FTF!
