Cosmic Quest Update

Image
Updates on the Cosmic Quest summer souvenir campaign have been released! Between July 22 and September 1, the geocaching community will be trying to help our intergalactic friends by generating enough fuel for them to continue their stellar journey. Fuel is earned by completing the following tasks, with each task earning a certain number of units of fuel: Activate a trackable - 1 unit Attend an event - 3 units Receive a favorite point on an owned geocache - 2 units Find an EarthCache - 5 units Find any other cache type, excluding Webcams - 1 unit There will be three souvenirs available: Super Fuel - earn 20 units of fuel individually Ultra Fuel - earn 100 units of fuel individually Lift Off - earn 15 million units of fuel globally So, even though rewarding a cache a favorite point doesn't help you out as an individual in the short term, it helps someone else individually, and adds to the global units earned in the long run.

Geocaching just announced something, maybe a new souvenir campaign. The blog post had an image of message that we were supposed to decipher. After taking a little bit of time to decypher it, I came up with: Hello Earthlings. We have come across a reference to geocaching.com on a metal creature roving the planet of Mars. It seems this geocaching is an activity meant to further exploration and community. We would like to better understand this interesting human activity and we are traveling to Earth to learn more. We only hope we will have enough fuel in our spaceship to keep exploring I'm excited to see what they're coming up with.

GeoGuessr Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge? Geocaching has teamed up with GeoGuessr for a limited time souvenir challenge. From March 26 through April 12, play the location guessing game on GeoGuessr. It's my understanding from reading the official blog post , that after guessing at least one out of ten locations correctly, you will be rewarded with a tracking code, which, when logged, will earn you a souvenir. The locations are shown using Google Street Maps, and are centered on actual geocaching locations. This is a limited time challenge, so don't forget to log your tracking code by April 12!

In addition to the Summer and Winter Solstices that we'll be celebrating this year, it appears that the Equinox will also be honored. For the March Equinox, logging three geocaches, Adventure Lab locations or events from March 17-23 will earn a souvenir. Learn more on the official blog post .
