Geocache Description:


***THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES***

Welcome to Horror/Sci-Fi Cache Volume 1: Se7en

This cache is heavily inspired by the Classic Horror-Thriller starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

To solve this mystery, you will assume the role of Detectives David Mills and William Somerset as they follow clues to try and solve the John Doe Serial Killings based upon the 7 Deadly Sins.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Well, we are not done yet.

This cache is 100% designed for Maximum Fun as a NIGHT CACHE but may be played in the daylight by those without the Nerves or ablilty to do so after dark. Please post a photo of yourself or your username with the CLOSED cache container if you do actually go after dark. Those who post night photos will certainly earn bonus respect and also, hopefully, inspire others to play in the dark. Do not forget to take your pen and sign the log found inside.

 We will recognize 2 FTF posts for this cache: 1 from the day time, and 1 from after dark with a photo of the closed cache!

Please do NOT post pictures of the contents of the Cache.

There is what I would consider to be very minor bushwacking involved but exactly how much will partially be decided by the time of year and your chosen path. I would NOT consider this cache to be typically Winter-Friendly but I would likely still give it a try (I am sure most of us have found worse. We are in Canada, after all).

***You will need a pen and flashlight (if you go at night, obviously). I would highly recommend you wear appropriate clothing, footwear, and take gloves (you don't want to leave your fingerprints at the scene of the crime)***

This Cache is launching with some interesting items for horror movie fans. Feel free to take something if you wish. Of course, we respectfully ask that any person only take 1 item please. There is 1 trackable in the cache at this time. If you wish to leave something that is great but we ask that you please try to only include other horror or sci-fi themed items to preserve the vibe.

Now, on to deciphering those coordinates...

Please note: This cache is NOT for the faint of heart.

John Doe left only a cryptic note with equations made out of the names of the 7 Deadly Sins. You must solve this puzzle to try and stop him before he commits his next crime.

It reads as follows:

 

 

 

Did you get there in time?!?!?!
