Free, just a username and passphrase, no email. Caches you build show up in My Caches so you can reopen and edit them without hunting for the edit link, and watch plays and wins. The same account syncs My Puzzle Texts across devices and manages your short links.

My Caches
Do not put sensitive, personal, or inappropriate content in a cache. Anything you create here is public to anyone with the link, and you are responsible for what you publish. Keep a copy of your edit key, it is the only way to change or delete your cache later.

Play your own cache before you publish it

Settings that look fair in this form can be brutal, or trivial, in the field. Finish the game yourself, start to end, on the kind of device your finders will use, and check that the difficulty, timers, hints, wording, and the final reveal all behave the way you intended. Every cache you create here comes with a play link and an edit link, so you can test it, tune it, and test it again before anyone else sees it.

2048 is the slide-and-merge tile game. Players swipe to combine matching geocaching symbol tiles, doubling them up toward a goal tile you choose. A player who actually reaches it has the cache revealed. The game is checked on the server by replaying the exact moves, so the final coordinates or keyword never sit in the page for a player to peek at, and a faked win will not pass.

Your puzzle

Shown to players as a link to your cache page.

Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.

The tile a player must build to win. 2048 is the classic, full challenge. 1024 or lower is friendlier and faster, so more finders will reach it.

Tile faces

What players merge: the geocaching symbol tiles, or the plain 2048 numbers.

On win, reveal

Shown only after a player reaches your goal tile. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.

Where can I host an image for free?

Paste a direct https:// link to an image. Free image hosts that give a direct link include ImgBB, postimages.org, and Cloudinary. A geocaching.com image link works too. The link must start with https://.

Keep your cache in play to keep it live. Share the play link so people visit it; unused caches are cleaned up over time.
