It is a high tech scavenger hunt that uses GPS devices. The person gives GPS coordinates for the contestants to go to and find additional clues.

Relatively new phenomenon, starting only after the spread of handheld GPS devices.
Essentially a high tech treasure hunt. Someone places a cache somewhere, typically on public land but in a concealed area off the beaten path so it is unlikely for people to just stumble across it. Most often, they then post the location of the cache or a clue to it's location on a geocaching site on the Internet. Caches can include all sorts of cool things or just a logbook to record that you found it. There are a number of variations of the sport. For more info try this website:
