Geocache Description:



Wherigo is a GPS based activity that can be played outdoor, which was created by Groundspeak A simple description is a mix between an adventure game and a geocache search.


People can develop self-enclosed story files (called "cartridges") that are installed on a GPS enabled unit along with a player program. The player and story take advantage of the location information provided by the GPS to trigger in-game events, such as reaching a virtual object or interacting with characters. Completing an adventure can require reaching different locations and solving puzzles.


The Birkenhead Park - Wherigo is a walk led by your guide, a “Virtual” Ranger around some of the main features of the park. At the end you will be lead to the geocache that is a normal small snap’n’lock box.


In order to play this Wherigo you will need to download the cartridge from HERE into a suitable GPS enabled device. These include PDAs, various GPSr’s and some smart phones. It has been tested successfully on my PDA (Mio Digiwalker P550) & GPS (Garmin Colorado 300). Please do not look at this in the ‘emulator’ as that will detract from your experience on the day of your visit.


Finally, remember to save the state of play on a regular basis, just in case you hit any problems, otherwise you'll have to go right back to the start (of both the game, and walk back to the start area to begin playing again!)
