Geocache Description:


Oslo Minifig Game

Some of the citizens of the above little town are out traveling. To find this cache you will need to track and find all of them, and then solve a little puzzle. A LEGO miniature figure is commonly known as a minifig.

Note! There is no cache at the given coordinates.
The coordinates just refer to a place downtown Oslo.


RULES
To collect clues you must move a minifig from one cache to another in a timely manner. Do not hold the minifig for weeks! Others may want to play. When you move a minifig you must log it. All 10 minifigs are trackable items. You must keep the minifigs inside the boarders of Oslo. Two or more of the minifigs should never stay together in the same cache. You must move all 10 minifigs to be eligible to claim the final cache, even if you may solve the puzzle without finding all.
Each geocaching profile that plans on logging the final cache must move all 10 minifigs. If you are out caching with a partner, and each have your own geocaching profile, then each person must move all 10 minifigs, separately and independently. A team sharing a profile only need one move per minifig for that profile.

HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED
To get the coordinates for the final cache, you must solve a little puzzle. To get clues for the puzzle, you need to find the minifigs which should be found in other caches in Oslo. From the clues you must determine:

  • Which building is asscosiated with each minifig.
  • The color of the minifig's pants.
  • The total cost of the accesories the minifig carries.
Subtract the cost of the accesories from the number assigned for the color of the pants, arrange the number per house and you will have the coordinates to the final cache.

The final cache is a yellow plastic box (25x20x19 cm) with a red lid. It is hidden in a steep and rocky area where GPSr reception conditions might be a bit weak. The theme of this cache is LEGO, so it should only contain LEGO. Though, TBs and GCs are accepted. The minifigs that are parts of this game, must of course not be placed in this cache, as it will be impossible for others to solve the puzzle!

STARTING POINTS
The minifigs are starting out in the following caches. The minifigs will not remain in these caches! Check the logs!!!

CREDITS AND DISCLAIMERS
Thanks to Matija who has helped building the town.
This cache is inspired by "Let the Games Begin!", but is hopefully made easier by registering all the minifigs as trackable items.
