Geocache Description:

The first stage of this 2 part puzzle is located in Union Township Recreation Park. The entrance to the park is off of Brownsville Road Extension. It is open from dawn to dusk. Please allow yourself enough time to complete the cache. Beware of quad riding muggles.

In a far off land, in a time not so long ago, was a young man with a disturbing past. He was not always the fastest or brightest in his class so the kids made fun of him. He vowed to one day get even, or maybe even one up on everyone. For years he plotted his plan. Then one day it came to him. He would create something that would cause as much mental anguish on them as they caused to him. It would be a sweet revenge, The Riddler's Revenge. He chose his spot carefully as to allow other to make simple mistakes and put them elsewhere. He gathered some of the most devious puzzles he could find, and melted them into one larger puzzle. Then the hard part came. He worked for days and even some nights in his secret lab, building his Pandora's Box of Puzzles. Once opened he knew these people would never be the same. He tried to make it as simple as possible, yet challenging at the same time. Once he was completed he placed it in the woods in anticipation of the arrival of his guests. Oh and come they will. They could not stay away from the Box of Thoughts. They would learn quickly though, this cache was meant to be done with their friends. With more brain power working together, they stood a better chance of completing this challenge and escaping before he had total control over them. Hopefully they pay attention to the most important of instructions "TURN THE SWITCH OFF BEFORE LEAVING". So come one and come all and test your wits against those of The Riddler.

The first stage of this cache is not kid friendly since it may require well over and hour or 2 to solve. That all depends on you of course. The final is very kid friendly if you so choose to make this a 2 trip cache. PLEASE REHIDE EXTREMELY WELL. As always Trade up, Trade even, or Don't trade.
