Caches that existed at the announcement have been tagged, that's how the game is running.

New caches will not be assigned a tag, so if you're looking for a tag to be assigned to any new caches created after the game started, sorry, they won't be tagged.

Thanks for another fun game. I really got into it in December. I even made spreadsheets for all locationless colours. It was fun. I just kept getting the "hide any" tile and found myself hiding caches that I wasn't happy with so got stuck. I would have liked to play the whole time but couldn't get past that tile. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of dice-rolling only cachers rolled a hide only tile first go and couldn't move on. Haha.

I hope to see the pathtags up for sale soon as I wasn't among the many that won one.

Thanks for your work and the clever idea. =D>

Thanks for another fun game over summer caughtatwork, MattyRx and all the helpers. We had very limited time and despite spending a lot of playing time landing on DNF and missing the 25 points for going passed the start we managed to play to the end. Plotting our way through summer kept our brains going.
Thanks again everyone. =D> =D> =D> =D>

A fun unpredictable game, thanks to the organisers. =D> Well played 2y'stassies! The bonus points got in the way of my plotting into your spot in the end. :lol: Looking forward to receiving the virtual icon.

Thanks to everyone for playing. Got pipped at the post for 10th place at the last minute, but I'm cool with that.

Reward emails will be out around midday AEDT.

There were 34 prize winners and I need to ensure that the majority of those receive their reward and doesn't get lost in the mail before we decide if we're going to sell the "leftovers". The remaining tags will be up in the shop in a week or two or three :-)

Please provide your constructive feedback to this thread and the game developers will continue to use your feedback to improve future games. A decent lift in the number of caches found and hidden at GCA in December and January.

Hopefully more hides will allow more people to find at GCA as well\, so thanks go to those who were able to make some hides during the game. The developers will be reviewing the hides to see whether they have any longevity or whether they quickly fall into disrepair and get archived. That will help inform future games as well.

Unpredictable is definitely the right word for this game. For quite a while I was sitting in a prize spot 25 I think then got bumped out. Decided to let fate take it course and was pleasantly surprised to share spot 40 at the end of the month.
