Emoji Charades Cache Builder
Make your own emoji-decoding geocache with a sharable play link.
Emoji Charades is a guessing game. Each puzzle is a little string of emojis that spells out a common saying ("piece of cake", "break the ice"), and the player types what they think it means. Get enough right and the cache is revealed. The sayings are drawn from a built-in bank and the answers stay on the server, dealt one at a time, so nothing is hidden in the page for someone to peek at.
Save this link now. Without the key you cannot edit or delete this puzzle (only the site admin can reset it).
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.
How many emoji puzzles the player must decode correctly to reveal the cache. Wrong guesses just move on to the next puzzle, so it is forgiving, like the original game.
On solve, reveal
Shown only after a player reaches the winning number of correct guesses. 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.
