Five Geo-Nuts live next door to each other. They have houses of different colors, have different dogs, drive different vehicles and use different devices to geocache. Your task is to figure out this puzzle, paint the houses the right color and move the right cachers, their dogs, the cars and the caching devices into the correct houses. You do this with a help of clues that you find in the Task section of your Wherigo player.
Here are just a couple of suggestions on how to proceed in this game:
- This cartridge might not work correctly on Wherigo player equipped Garmin GPSrs.
- The cartridge will take you about 1 - 1.5 hours to play (if you don't make any mistakes), so make sure that you have enough juice to run your device continuously for 2 hours. It's always good idea to have a power bank on you just in case you run out of juice.
- Another good idea is to play any Wherigo cartridge on several devices (with several people) in case one of these devices crashes. The twist here is that there are several versions of this puzzle in this cartridge. All the characters and items are the same, but the clues varies; therefore, the solutions are different. The version is assigned by random at the beginning of the game. This game automatically saves after completing each task, but sometimes the saved game gets corrupted.
- Read all the texts, don’t just click through it. It will give your device more time to process all the script and there is important information in the text that will help you successfully finish the game and find the bonus cache as well.
- You can find the clues and the checker in "Tasks" section of the player. You will save yourself a headache to work the solution on the paper before you start moving characters and items around. However, make sure you don't accidentally erase your saved game, as when you start a new one, the clues might be different and so is the solution.
- Once you start moving the characters and items from one zone to another, make sure you are picking them up and dropping them off while you're standing in the zone. This way all the scripts and calculations gets processed in the right zone.
- If you drop off a character or item in wrong zone, you will be able to pick it up again.
- To check your solution when you think you finished your task, go to "Tasks" section of Wherigo Player and click on "Checker". If you finished your task successfully you'll get directions to the geocache.
- If you are certain that your solution is correct and yet you got incorrect solution message, go into "Tasks" section of your Wherigo player and click on "Troubleshooting". Take a screenshot of that screen and send it to me via Message Center.
This is a Wherigo geocache so the above coords are for the starting location of this game. Upon successful completion of the game, you will get direction to the geocache. The cache is a black bison tube and doesn't contain a pen, so bring your own writing instrument.
Unlocking the cartridge on Whereigo.com is not required, but it would be greatly appreciated. After you've completed the cartridge by finding the cache, you should see a "CachingBuddies.gws" file on your device. You can upload this file to Wherigo.com and it will "Unlock" it, giving you credit for completing the cartridge (on the Wherigo site). It will also help track the number of completions for this cartridge. Again not required, but I would really appreciate it if you did. You may also complete the cartridge by visiting the cartridge page and entering in the completion code you received after completing the cartridge. You may also review the cartridge by Write a Log.
