This cache was published in conjunction with the Puzzle Caching 101 event hosted by calikura.
The cache is not at the published coordinates. You will need to complete the Adventure Lab cache titled Cryptography 101 to get the final coordinates.
This listing is for the physical bonus cache for the Geocaching Adventure Lab cache. To learn more about how Adventure Lab caches work and how to find this new type of cache, you can read about it here.
How to Find This Adventure Lab Cache
To play any Adventure Lab Cache, download the Official Adventure Lab app from your App store (either Apple App Store or Google Play). Once installed on your phone, you can search for the Adventure Lab to begin.
Once you are close to the starting location (the published coordinates of this cache), you will be given the first question to answer, and getting each correct answer will unlock the next location. This Adventure will take you to 5 locations - each location will require a question to be answered before you can move to the next location.
When playing an Adventure Lab Cache, you will get ONE Cache Find for each of the location when you get the correct answer! So, if you complete this Adventure you will receive five Lab Cache finds, and of course, once you sign the log for this bonus cache you will have a Mystery find as well!
About This Adventure Lab Cache
Welcome to an Adventure Lab which will bring you on a short tour of a revitalised heritage district while teaching you a thing or two about Cryptography. This AL is centred around the South Beach Precinct which was once the Headquarters of the Straits Settlement Volunteer Force. These colonial buildings remain, and they will be the subjects of our tour. However, there’s more!
This is also an AL about cryptography: the science of concealing messages. Many puzzle caches employ such techniques to add a layer of complexity to their solutions. Hence, if you are new to puzzle-solving, you may want an intro to the types of ciphers that exist. Each waypoint introduces you to a category of ciphers. While most of the ciphers can be solved using online tools, if you like a challenge, you can still do them by pen and paper.
You will need to read the descriptions to find the keywords on site and decode the cipher. Once you solve all 5 ciphers, you will have all you need to find the bonus cache.
The Final Cache
The coordinates for this AL Bonus cache, along with other relevant information to retrieve the cache can be found in the 5 Journal Entries you will gain when you visit and solve all 5 puzzles in the Adventure Lab.
Please be gentle with the final cache, and be careful when retrieving and replacing the container. Do be stealthy as there may be muggles watching you from afar, and make sure the cache is secure in its hide before leaving the GZ.
Happy hunting and good luck!
