Text Adventure Cache Builder

Turn a pick-a-path text adventure into your own sharable geocache.

Make a text adventure into your own cache. Players explore a story one room at a time, moving by compass directions, picking up items, and using them to unlock the way forward. Reaching the end of the story reveals your final coordinates or keyword. Pick a ready-made adventure below, set what the ending reveals, and share one play link. The whole story and your reveal live on the server, so there is nothing in the page for a player to peek at.

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 at the top of the play page, so keep it short (up to 48 characters).

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.

Choose an adventure

Pick the story players will explore. Reaching its ending reveals your cache. More adventures will be added over time.

Loading adventures...

Your own welcome, shown above the adventure. The story has its own opening too.

On reaching the end, reveal

Shown only after a player reaches the end of the adventure. 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.
