This cache is not at the listed coordinates.
This cache is great for husbands, perfect for when the wife is taking forever at the shops.
You will be inside with the comfort of air conditioning for most of the time and then you will wander outside to retrieve the final cache, which is a black magnetic nano on a piece of art.
To obtain the final coordinates, you will need to wander Garden City using the map provided (although less adventurous methods are available). Find the shop name that corresponds to the matching shop number. Using the given letter number, convert said letter to a number. For example, if the clue is 'Shop 1805 Letter 5' and the name was Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, then required letter is Y, which is converted to 25. Follow any additional equation instructions following this.
I have tried to choose a mix of shops from different sectors such as jewellery, services, food, electronics and so on, just to keep it interesting. The map below is vital, if you forget to print it, it is available for free at the information desk or on information boards at most entrances of the complex. It has all the shop numbers on it. Good luck!
