AR_Richard Cranium Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin: From June 06, 2018 until March 06, 2019, Geocaching HQ conducted an Augmented Reality (AR) experiment. During that time, cache owners were allowed to submit Mystery Caches that required the finder to download and use an AR app to find the cache. The goal of the experiment was to see how the geocaching community would use AR technology. Cache owners placed more than 600 AR caches around the world!

Unfortunately, the AR apps which met HQ’s requirements for the experiment have been or are currently in the process of being discontinued. As a result, it is currently not possible for finders to have the AR experience that was originally intended. Therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active AR caches placed during the experiment period. We are respectfully requesting that all AR cache owners please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

As technology evolves, we look forward to seeing how Augmented Reality might have future applications for geocaching. Thank you to all cache owners who participated in the experiment!

Geocache Description:


This cache is part of an experiment that allows the use of Augmented Reality (AR) apps to find the cache. At the end of this experiment, Geocaching HQ will decide if this cache will be grandfathered or archived. Geocaching HQ reserves the right to archive this cache at any time if conditions change. If you have found this cache and would like to give feedback on your experience, please fill out this survey.

This AR experience is location based. You will need to go to the published coordinates to run and complete the AR "experience" It will only allow you to start the AR within +/- 100ft of these coordinates.

Go to the posted coords. It is in Laurel Memorial Cemetery so please be respectful. To find the cache you will need to use  Metaverse (for iOS and Android) it's a free app that I found to be really user friendly and can be downloaded for free on your smartphone. Once the app is installed and opened, type in the search box @ExitStage_Left and select that name. Next, select the Geocaching skull icon, then click on the cache name skull icon. Remember, if you are not at the published coordinates you will not be able to start the AR. As required by Groundspeak, you will still need a GPS capable device (GPS, Phone) to find the cache and sign the log!
