Current Uses

Built from the game that taught the world to explore.

Geocaching^® has always been powered by curiosity and community trust. Lodestone adds a new tool: verified presence, captured with a simple tap.

Not to change the heart of the game. To expand what’s possible around it.

What Lodestone enables in Geocaching

Verified finds (when it makes sense)

A Lodestone can confirm a visit at the cache, turning “I was there” into a trusted moment.

New gameplay layers

When presence is verified, you can safely introduce experiences that depend on real visits:

return-visit challenges
location-based collections
limited-run rewards for specific places or events

Cache care becomes easier to encourage

Verified visits can support systems that recognize helpful behaviors, like checking on caches during repeat visits.

Adventure Lab^®: authentic visits, lighter friction

Adventure Lab already creates real-world storytelling. Lodestone can add another validation option that is fast, intuitive, and less dependent on questions and answers.

It’s especially strong for:

iconic locations where the story matters
high-traffic places where answers get shared
experiences that need a physical anchor

Events: effortless participation

At Mega-Events and partner gatherings, Lodestone can confirm attendance without lines, paperwork, or complicated flows.

One tap can unlock:

event collectibles
limited-time experiences
guided routes and partner activities

Community-first posture

Lodestone is designed to reward exploration, not police it.

optional where appropriate
transparent about what it does
respectful of privacy
shaped through pilots and community feedback
