Geocache Description:


Just down the street from New England’s largest apple, geocachers are gathering at The Gate Escape in Leominster for a night of puzzle-solving and teamwork. But don’t be fooled by the name—this event isn’t about New York. “Escape from The Big Apple” is a playful nod to the enormous apple sculpture nearby, and the mental challenge that awaits you inside.

Hosted inside the creative atmosphere of The Gate Escape, this event invites geocachers to take on a series of collaborative puzzles, designed specifically for this gathering. These challenges aren’t full escape rooms, but rather compact, clever scenarios built to engage teams of all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned puzzle solver or just in it for the fun, this is a great opportunity to challenge your brain and enjoy the company of fellow geocachers.

Bring your wits, bring your curiosity, and get ready to escape—not from a city, but from a series of devious riddles and logic puzzles just waiting to be cracked. You’ll have the chance to meet new people, share some laughs, and maybe even walk away a little sharper for your next puzzle cache.
