Monthly Licking Area Meet & Greets resume

by  •  • 0 Comments

Following last year’s successful experimentation with holding monthly meet & greets in the Licking County area, the tradition is continuing!

The first event of 2013 will be held Thursday, March 28th from 6:30-9:00pm at the East West Restaurant in Heath, Ohio:

Licking Area Meet-n-Greet Year 2:Electric Boogaloo
GC4784J

Same cachers / same great taste… come gather for some conversation, caterwauling, and crab rangoon! We’re trying out the last Thursday of each month for a while.

Nothing fancy, just a chance to get together and have fun, share stories, trade trackables, give hints (?), or maybe group-attack a puzzle or two!

ALL are welcome – young and old, caching newbies and seasoned veterans alike.

This restaurant offers both a Chinese and American menu, with many choices of both (and a buffet).

HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!

Caching Conundrum

Caching Conundrum November 2012 Results

by  •  • 0 Comments

A massive, room-filling crowd gathered for the final Caching Conundrum event before the 2012 Playoffs.  The points multiplier was a 2.0 for the night, so players had the potential to improve their positions heading into December’s Championship event.  The task this month was a comprehensive exam.  Players were tasked with solving a huge amount of puzzle, including a crossword, sudoku, a logic puzzle, kakuro, trivia, a cipher, IQ test questions, and cryptograms.  Even with extended time, the test was designed to be a giant task to finish.  In the end, the players proved they have a wide array of knowledge and puzzling skill.  Below are the standings:
