The Wherigo
The first Wherigo cache was published on January 8, 2008. It is a location based adventure game that allows users to interact with virtual objects and characters while navigating through real-world locations. Each Wherigo MUST have a final location with a cache container and a log book.
More than Just a Game...
Location-based cartridges are not just for those who love adventure games. The Wherigo toolset is designed to be open-ended so cartridge builders can create any number of interesting experiences for a player. Here are a few general examples: Walking tour of city sights, Neighborhood scavenger hunt, Innovative marketing proposal, Pub crawl for your friends, Interactive fictional adventure, Alternate reality game…and more.
Currently there are only 4 active Wherigo caches within a 100 mile radius of Mission, TX. Originally DrHayJude had some Reverse Wherigo caches, but they begame archived when the cache containers kept going missing.
Pros and Cons – they are fun IF and that’s ONLY IF the cartridge is working correctly AND you’re able to download it onto your phone. Unfortunately, they work better on iPhones than Androids.
We are a friendly group that enjoy sharing stories of our Geocache experiences. We help each other if we’re having difficulty finding a cache, solving a puzzle or creating and publishing a cache.
