Esplanade Roof Terrace (Level 4 of Esplanade Mall)
Been caching for a while and are now thinking about hiding your first geocache?
Placed a few geocaches, but want to take your cache ownership game to the next level?
Want to meet some experienced local Cache Owners (COs) and bombard them with questions about what makes a great geocache?
Maker Magic: Cache Ownership in Singapore!
Join us at the Esplanade Rooftop on Saturday morning for a casual meet with experienced and budding COs. I, and a number of other far more experienced and well-regarded COs, will be happy to sort out any curiosities or uncertainties you might have about designing, hiding and maintaining geocaches in Singapore, a place where geocaches generally lead a hard life of trying to evade detection and removal by our extremely hardworking janitorial and public maintenance workers... or simply trying to stay dry while exposed to the harshest of tropical elements.
Who's this for?
- Aspiring or budding COs who need guidance on the technicalities of preparing a cache hide and/or a cache listing on the Geocaching website.
- Experienced or veteran COs who need a little inspiration to elevate their cache hiding game, or who'd like to share their experience and expertise with the community.
- Everyone else who'd like to soak up conversations about cache ownership and Geocaching in general!
What's on the Programme?

Meet and Greet
Get to know the experienced COs who will be taking us through the day's activities, as well as the aspiring and budding COs who have recently, or are about to, make their mark in the local scene!
Exchange stories about your favourite caches you've found in Singapore! Inspire fellow aspiring and budding COs through success stories of audacious urban hides or unexpectedly enormous containers in our urban jungle.

AMAA and Cache Clinic
Have an idea to bounce off fellow COs? Hit a snag with your latest cache idea? Ask us anything! We'll also be happy to help with troubleshooting any issues that you have about cache hiding or listing preparation, or clarifying any doubts you have about guidelines and local regulations.
Feel free to bring along anything you need help with, such as:
- a laptop or tablet if you'd like some practical help with preparing an online cache listing, or
- a cache container you need some advice about.
