Geocaching – Adventure Lab
A couple recently came into Holy Trinity Church looking for a “hogback”. This turned out to be one of the ancient stones that we have at the back of church. They were from Hull. I asked them what brought them to Holy Trinity. They said they were using an app on their phone called “Adventure Lab”. They used it wherever they were to explore the local area.
What is “Adventure Lab”?
Adventure Lab is a new app and platform in development from the team at Geocaching HQ that allows you to create, play and share unique outdoor scavenger hunts, experiences, and games. There are currently over 50,000 public Adventures available worldwide. The Adventure Lab® app guides players through the process of finding clues, solving puzzles, and completing Adventures one Location at a time. If you’re already a Geocaching member, these stages count as caches towards your Geocaching account’s statistics and total finds.
What’s the difference between Adventure Lab and geocaching?
Unlike traditional geocaching, Adventures do not require a physical container and can be located indoors. The Adventure Lab® app expands the boundaries of traditional geocaching into new spaces and experiences while introducing innovative and fresh ideas that make exploring even more fun!
The Adventure Lab® app is just getting started and for now we are only making the creation tools available to a limited number of experienced geocachers. They have the opportunity to share their Adventures with whatever audience they chose. The Adventure Lab® app makes it possible to create both public and private experiences.
You can download the app from the following website:
