Finding obscure trails
What do you guys use to find those lesser-known or “hidden” trails that make good cache locations? I’m specifically looking for trails that aren’t inside parks and are preferably accessible 24/7. I’ve been using Overpass Turbo, but I feel like I’ve exhausted most of what I can find with it. Curious what tools or resources other cache hiders use to discover places like this.
Favorite flashlight under $20
Could be a one trick pony, just fun to pull out and use from time to time, or has a weird feature other flashlights don’t normally have.
What is everyone’s favorite Halloween, Christmas, and overall custom track?
If the track creators are here in this sub I’d love for them to comment as well and show some love to their tracks.
[TOMT][Video Game][2000s?]
I’m looking for examples of video games that use a specific fighting mechanic. There’s a horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen with a vertical line that travels back and forth across it, and you have to time your button press to land as close to the center as possible. The closer you get, the more damage you deal.
Does anyone know of games that use something like this?
Modal Design Possible?
Hello everyone. I run a family photography business and while my main website pages have been professionally designed by someone, I'm in the process of creating a new page myself to help future families get inspiration/help them prepare for their session.
I'm trying to design a series of photo cards where when you click on a card it brings up a popup with more information. Same photo on the left with information on the right. I originally wanted to have the background blurred behind the popup card but I don't think Showit can create a true modal. I've provided the preview link so you can see what I've created so far. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I don't have much experience with Showit, and the main part of my website wasn't designed by me. I'm so used to the old school drag and drop builders where you couldn't customize really anything other than font and size. As you can see when you click on the bottom left card, it scrolls up to the hidden canvas.
This page will be filled with many more images for all of the seasons so I'm trying to find the easiest way for a parent to navigate this page without headaches.
Is browser-based karaoke scoring feasible today without requiring software installation?
For example:
A user opens a website on their phone, selects a song, sings along to a backing track, and receives a score from 0–100% similar to the old school Rock Band games or YARG. The score is then automatically submitted to a leaderboard where people compete to see who can claim or stay at the top.
If this is possible, would it be legal to create this with actual songs, and how much would a project like this cost?
Rhythm Game Geocache Idea Help/Suggestions
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some feedback on an idea of mine that I feel could be a really cool and fun way to get a community of people together in my city.
For those of you who don't know what Geocaching is, it's an app you can download to your phone which will show you the coordinates of a container hidden somewhere near you. They range in difficulty from super easy to having to solve complex puzzles and riddles to find out it's location, or even hopping on a kayak to go to an island in the middle of a river to then climb a tree to find it. Once you find it you then sign a piece of paper called the logbook and mark your finding in the app.
As a huge fan of Rock Band/Guitar Hero and having put countless late night hours trying not to disturb my parents when I was younger, I wanted to built something that would combine my two hobbies together. Obviously putting an entire YARG setup in the middle of the woods for people to play is out of the question for various reasons but I have come up with what I think is a really cool idea.
In order for people to go find and log my geocache they will have to sing and score at least 85% on 3 or more songs from a setlist of about 50 songs that I will create. After they sing each song they will screenshot and upload said screenshot to a Google Form which in turn will populate a local leaderboard to see who is the best singer in town. My plan is to curate a setlist of about 50 songs but I want each song to only contain Vocals of a selected difficulty like "My Heart Will Go On on Expert." Do I need to look into the RAW files themselves or use a program? My hope is that people who have already found the geocache will keep coming back to secure their top spot on the leaderboards.
I've gone ahead and created the leaderboard here: Leaderboard
I would love you all's feedback on this idea and how I can turn it into the greatest local singing competition ever made.
GeoArt Updating coords
Has anyone ever used GSAK or another program/app to mass update coordinates for a mystery GeoArt series?
I have a GeoArt near me containing 50 mystery caches and I have the correct coordinates for every single cache but I was wondering if there was a way to mass update them all at once. I could make a GPX file but I don’t think it would be attached to the actual cache pages. I spent way too much time trying to see if I could python script automate the process of pulling the questions from the caches descriptions and then having AI provide me with the correct coordinates based on the two answer choices provided. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What is everyone’s favorite exploration/resource management game?
For some reason I don’t have Catan in my collection yet and was eyeing the Explorers and Pirates expansion. Any other games worth buying that fit the exploration category really well and are fun and replayable.
What’s the craziest contraption or structure you’ve seen built for a cache? Like a memorable D5 that you wish there were more of, but it’s probably out of the question due to how crazy of a cache it is.
Something like INFERNAL DEVICE 2.0 - GC6XJQA
Looking for a business owner interested in hosting a trinket box/geocache outside their building
Any business owners in the North Chesterfield, Midlothian, or Bon Air area interested in hosting a trinket box/geocache outside their building? It’s a unique way to encourage foot traffic, engage the community, and help promote your business.
Puzzle Box buying recommendations
For those of you who have put combo locked containers inside of an ammo can as a puzzle cache, what containers are you buying to fit inside? I’m seeing a lot of 3 digit combos like cash boxes but not really any 4 digit combos. I made a cache about a month ago with a 4 digit combo locked box on the inside but I built the inside box to fit perfectly.
Hello everyone, my two friends and I are taking a trip up to Cedar Point in July from Virginia and are looking for an escape room to do either on the way up or while we are there.
We are most curious about the Saw themed room at Escape Room - Cleveland but with the Morty app not having many reviews we didn’t want to commit to doing it if it wasn’t going to be fun. There appears to be a lot of rooms based off of IPs but no telling which ones are worth it, and have a good mix of physical puzzles and my favorite electronic puzzles.
Thanks for the recommendations. We’ve done 23 rooms in total so this won’t be our first rodeo.
