A world-wide community of creative hiders and outdoor enthusiasts awaits you on the official Geocaching app. Join an active community of outdoor explorers who create, share, and play the game of geocaching all around the world with over 3 million cleverly hidden geocache containers. Geocaching is created and shared by people like you, those who enjoy hiding treasure, seeking adventure, and sharing meaningful and creative hiding spots around the world.
Whether you're traveling to a new city, going on a neighborhood walk with family, or a group of friends who enjoy good scavenger hunts, geocaching is a simple way to get started. Find hidden caches nearby using our map — no matter where you are located in the world. Start by following GPS-enabled directions to the cache within 30 feet — then you can start looking. Geocaches are hidden out of sight, often disguised, so they can only be found by those who are looking for them.
You can find geocaches in all shapes, sizes, and types — and some may be more deceptive than you think. Cache owners will always include a log book for you to sign when you find a cache. A larger container might also contain some treasures that can be traded or moved from cache location to cache location - such as trackable tags, personal keepsakes, or geocoins that will be passed on to the next adventurer. When you're done with the container, simply place it back exactly as you found it for the next explorer to discover.
You can participate in geocaching in a number of different ways due to the ever-growing geocacher community. You can play as a family in your neighborhood and parks, add some cache seeking to your jogging or fitness routine, or challenge yourself with some all-terrain caches on a hike near your favorite trails. Find local events around the world where you can learn how to find caches and what this global game means to the community. Depending on your luck, they may even share some TOTT (tools of the trade!) with you to make sure no treasure is left behind.
