Steiracaching

Dear Geocacher,

In our effort to inspire outdoor play through Geocaching, we are often faced with decisions about what to focus on next, and what to focus on less. It is through these decisions that we explore opportunities to grow the global game of Geocaching.

Occasionally, during this process, we are faced with the reality that certain ideas don't catch on as we had hoped. In these situations we owe it to ourselves and to you to make tough decisions about the future of every project and the resources to be applied to each. Sometimes, as a result, cool features must become casualties.

In this spirit, we have decided to retire Geocaching Challenges.

This means that, effective today, we have disabled the ability to create new Challenges. We have also removed the Challenges application from all mobile application stores. In approxim ately 7 days, we will be removing all traces of the Challenges functionality and related content from Geocaching.com.

On an office wall here at HQ is a sign that reads, "Let's make better mistakes tomorrow." By accepting that we will sometimes get it wrong, we can allow ourselves to learn from and imagine new opportunities in the world of Geocaching. Our hope is we can take the lessons from Challenges and create better tools to guide you on your next adventure.

Sincerely,
Geocaching.com

Ziemlich krasse Entscheidung irgendwie...
Auch wenn mich persönlich das Thema Challenges nie wirklich interessiert hat.

Ob sie das mit den Souvenirs irgendwann auch so machen?

LG

Und ich hab niiiiiiiie eine Challenge gemacht und werde es auch niiiiiiiiie bereuen

Jetzt ist der Weg für Virtuals wieder frei?

Das wäre fein aber mir wäre es noch lieber wenn Logbedingungen wieder erlaubt wären. Da gab es ein paar wunderbare Sache wie Kneipduschen oder sich zu verkleiden!

oh ja, das wär fein!!

Hallo

Die Frage ist ob die challenge Caches nicht sowieso schon wieder erlaubt sind. Ich denke da an Caches wie Challenge-Cache "81er Matrix" oder auch andere.

Martin

Die waren sowieso immer erlaubt, und ausdrücklich vom Logbedingungs-Verbot ausgenommen.
