Geopuzzel, What is a reverse geocache?
First, what is a normal geocache. A geocache is an hidden container. You need to find
the location of the container through a puzzle-tour. You type the result of the
puzzle (the results should be latitude and longitude geographic coördinates)
in a GPS device, or a mobile phone by running an app so it behavious as
a GPS device.
The container is in fact a treasury. It contains some "goodies". The rules of
the game are: You may take a goodie out (as a souvenir), but replace with an
object of the same value, you brought by yourselfs.
And of course, log your visit in the logbook.
Geopuzzel, Now the reverse geocache.
The reverse geocache is a container you have already in your possession.
A good fairy tale could be: it was stolen from a tomb and has a spell on it.
The spell: when it is not on the location where it belongs, there is no way to open the box. First it need to brought back to the tomb...
On the display of the reverse geocache you will find a clue where this location is.
The clue could be the distance to the correct location, or a bearing.
When you approach the location, you are essentially passing a geofence
- a circle of about 15 metres around the target destination location -
the box opens and play a triumph melody, (or whatever mp3 you programmed)
Well let your fantasy run to build a great game-format around the reverse geocache,
And let me know!
