Triples Cache Builder

Make your own geocaching one-step slider puzzle with a sharable play link.

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

Triples is a one-step slider. Each swipe shifts every tile on the board one cell in that direction, not a full slide. A 1 and a 2 sitting next to each other join into a 3. Two matching tiles of 3 or higher join into the next one up: 3+3 makes 6, 6+6 makes 12, 12+12 makes 24, and so on. Two 1s or two 2s never join. A player who actually reaches the goal tile has the cache revealed. The game is checked on the server by replaying the exact moves, so the final coordinates or keyword never sit in the page for a player to peek at, and a faked win will not pass.

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 puzzle later.

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.

The tile a player must build to win. Tiles run 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and up. 384 is the full challenge. 96 or lower is friendlier and faster, so more finders will reach it.

On win, reveal

Shown only after a player reaches your goal tile. 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.
