Description
Hide it, list it on your favourite geocaching website as usual, and the lid adds a whole new layer. Finders tap it with their phone to log their find with their first name, the date and a short message, and to see who found it last. They can also solve the riddle or puzzle left by the previous finder, then leave one of their own. You set the cache location by standing at the hiding place and tapping Place it here. Every message is checked to keep it family friendly.

How a find works
- The finder taps the piece with their phone. A web page opens: no app, no account.
- They see the cache details, when it was last discovered and the visitor log.
- They can solve the riddle or puzzle the last finder left, then log their find: first name, date of discovery and location.
- They leave a short message and, if they like, a new puzzle for the next finder. A GPS check adds a ✓, and their position is never saved.
Family friendly, always
Every name, message and puzzle is checked before it shows. Swearing, insults, slurs and hateful phrases (English and Afrikaans, including look-alike spellings) are blocked, along with links, email addresses and phone numbers. Finders can report a message, and you can hide or delete any log.
Use it with your favourite geocaching website
GeoTrail runs on its own. List your cache wherever you normally do. Keep the paper log inside and present the NFC log as an optional bonus, since most listing sites need a physical log and don't let you require another website. Always get the landowner's permission. GeoTrail is not affiliated with any geocaching listing service.
