Don't Click The Circle Cache Builder

Build a reaction-speed geocache. Tap the squares, never the circles, and score enough to unlock the reveal.

Sign in to save this cache to your account

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

Don't Click The Circle is a reaction-speed cache. Squares appear across the playfield and score a point when tapped in time, circles cost a point and freeze scoring for a moment, so tapping everything is not a winning strategy. Reaching your target score before the round ends reveals the final coordinates or keyword. The server replays every run before releasing anything, so nothing can be faked from the browser.

The board itself is always generated the same way, only the target score and round length are yours to set. Coordinates are released only when the server replays the finder's run and confirms they genuinely reached the target within the round.
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.

Your cache

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.

Run settings

A shorter round shows fewer shapes, so it also caps how high a target score can be set below.

How many points a player must reach before the round ends to claim the reveal. Squares are worth a point, circles cost points and freeze scoring for a moment.

The board itself is always generated the same way, only the target score and round length change the run. There is no level authoring, reaching the target before time runs out is the win.

On solve, reveal

Shown only after a player reaches the target score. 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.
