The GPS treasure hunt game Geochache is one of those really geeky, really clever global user participation real life games made possible by new technologies. A user prepares a box with a log book and a few items, hides it somewhere not too far from where they live so they can maintain it and the publish the Latitude and Longitude on the Geocaching website. Anyone can look for hidden treasure in their area on the Geocaching website and set out with their GPS to find it. Once found you write your name in the log book, swap an item and eventually log your find on the website. I have now located two caches in Reykjavík. From one I took a bookmarker and the other a fridge magnet and put in their place a coffeeshop discount card and a pen. Now I have also made my own cache and placed it in Reykjavík. It´s location is close to the path I cycle to work every day so it will be easy for me to keep an eye on it. Here you can see the webpage for my cache and if you have a GPS you can set out to find it. This game is quite fun and a plesant thing to spend a lazy afternoon doing.
