A Cleaner Look

Adventure Cache 94.0 redraws every screen and fixes a long list of bugs.

  • A fresh design in Adventure Cache green and gold, with a new typeface, new icons, and a new app icon.
  • On iPhone and iPad with iOS 26, the app takes on the new system look, with glass bars and tabs.
  • A new More tab holds your tools, Profile, and Settings, in place of the side menu.
  • The Welcome screen now says Continue Without an Account, so it's clear you can look around first.
  • Deleting from an editor now closes the page, Scan's camera comes back after you allow it, and players you've blocked stay out of stop counts.

What You Can Do

Find, Hide, and Keep Track

A cache is a container you hide for others to find. A find is anything worth remembering: a view, a monument, an old tree. An adventure groups caches and finds into one outing, in your order or the shortest route.

Finding Caches

Let the Arrow Walk You There

See caches, adventures, and finds around you on the map, or search for one by name. Open a cache and tap Start Finding: an arrow points at the cache and counts down the distance as you walk.

  • Check the Cache of the Day and the caches closest to you on Explore.
  • Every cache has a difficulty and terrain rating, and you can filter the map by both.
  • Get directions or check the weather before you head out.

Hiding and Building

Hide a Cache in a Few Steps

Hide a cache with its location, a few photos, a description, hints, and questions. Lock it behind a Color Clache puzzle if you want people to work for it.

  • Print a QR tag for a cache or collectable, then scan it in the app to jump straight to its page.
  • Make collectables that players can take, move to another cache, or hand to a friend, and see where each one has traveled.
  • You'll get a heads-up if you try to hide a cache right next to another one.
