Letterboxing
|
|
Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming "treasure hunt" style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels. It's pretty much the same as geocaching, except you have to come equipped with a journal, a rubber stamp and a stamp pad!
Geodashing
Every month, Geodashing randomly generates coordinates from all
over the planet, gives them an alpha-numeric designator and plots them
on a map. These are called “dash points”. You then go the web site,
search a target area, find a dash point and go for it. The dash point in
effect becomes a “stash” or hide. Points are awarded for getting to the
dash point and submitting a detailed report on it describing the hunt
and the location
Waymarking
|
"Waymarking is a way to mark unique locations on the planet and give them a voice.
While GPS technology allows us to pinpoint any location on the planet, mark the
location, and share it with others, Waymarking is the toolset for categorizing and
adding unique information for that location. Groundspeak's slogan is "The Language
of Location" and our goal is to give people the tools to help others share and discover
unique and interesting locations on the planet. We invite you to share your part
of the world with us."

Munzee
|
Munzee is a real world scavenger hunt game where QR codes are found in the real world and captured using your smartphone. You then level up and gain rank based on your score. Points are obtained by capturing other people's munzees or when your deployed munzees are captured by someone else. Munzee is based off of the fundamentals of geocaching and adds another layer of fun to the hunt.
