UPDATED: Our first hunt was last week and was won by Baroli from Twitter. Our second hunt is now underway – good luck!
It seems like everyone these days has a GPS-enabled device of some kind and I am always looking for ways to incorporate modern technology into my scare toolkit.
My minions and I have cooked up a trick-AND-treat game for you using GPS. It isn’t an easy game but it is an adventure and adventures are not meant to be easy.
If you should be brave and smart enough to meet my challenge, here is what you need to do:
- Use a Firefox or Flock Browser, or Internet Explorer browser
- Install the Add-On ClickableNow, this is a great little application that makes Twitter backgrounds clickable, it will even work for your background
- Head to my Twitter page and find the hidden link
- Click on the link to find my hidden page
- Enter the password: jackreturns
- Use a GPS-enabled device to find the coordinates given. If you don’t have a stand-alone, GPS-enabled device, you might try Blackstar for GPS-enabled Blackberry phones or Geocaching 2.0 for iPhone 3G
- When you find the treasure, Tweet me @jackreturns or go to our Facebook page and leave a wall post or leave a comment on this blog post so that I know you found it.
- Bring the secret ticket to SeaWorld Guest Relations to claim your prize. Guest relations is at the front of the park.
Rules:
- Don’t destroy any property searching for my stash, it will be in plain view and not buried.
- If you can’t find it, get a new set of glasses.
- You cannot be an employee or immediate relative of a SeaWorld San Antonio employee.
- No pumpkins allowed.
- You can only win once outside the park and once inside the park, give someone else a chance.
If you want to learn more about Geocaching and its rules and regulations, check out the San Antonio Geocaching Association. Jack’s Treasure Hunt affiliated in any way with SAGA or www.geochaching.com, nor do they have any information or knowledge about my trasure hunt. We were heavily inspired by this fun and entertaining activity, so if you have fun with it, check it out. I might even consider becoming a geocacher during my time in the pumpkin patch.

I really need to get GPS now.
It’s all the rage,
Depending on your phone, you may have the ability to see current coords in your map software. It may not ‘direct’ you, but it would tell you where you currently are. So you can do some online sleuthing and then use the phone when you get to the right area…
Or just buy a gps!
My phones internet, etc. isnt that great, I’ve been wanting to get a gps for a while. Thanks for the info.
