r/geocaching
New hobby!
Why have I not discovered this sooner? My friend visited me this week and she plays, so I figured I would also make an account. SO MUCH FUN! Thank you everyone that keeps this community alive 😍
This brought us places I normaly would not have thought to visit, and even in gloomy days like today it was beautiful.
Budapest I need your help!
Hi Geocaching community!
I’m new the geocaching world, so I hope this isn’t too much to ask — but from what I’ve noticed this is a pretty amazing and fun community, so I thought I’d give it a shot.
I’m planning my sister’s bachelorette weekend in Budapest (May 15–17), and I had this idea to incorporate geocaching into the experience to make it more personal and memorable for her.
The rough idea is to create a series of “mini caches” or stops where she’ll find little surprises along the way — for example:
- QR codes linking to video messages from friends who couldn’t attend
- Small challenges or clues
- Maybe even hints about nearby bars or locations we should head to next
I’m still figuring out the exact concept, but here’s where I could really use your help:
Would any kind souls in Budapest be willing to help me place a few small QR codes (discreetly and respectfully, of course- not interfering with existing caches or rules) shortly before our arrival?
I’m also very open to suggestions, I haven’t been to Budapest before, so if you know great geocaching spots or central locations that would fit something like this, I’d love your recommendations.
If this is completely against geocaching etiquette, please let me know, I truly don’t want to step on any toes!!
