What exactly IS Wherigo?
Wherigo is a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world. Rather than clicking the mouse and selecting a location to move your character, you actually walk from one location to the next to advance the story.
What is a Wherigo cartridge?
A Wherigo cartridge is a file that contains all the information and media necessary to play a Wherigo experience. We call them cartridges as an homage to the original console-based games, but you don’t have to actually purchase a physical cartridge or console to play. You just need a whereigo-enable GPS device or a smartphone and the whereigo app.
Why should we develop a Wherigo cartridge?
Wherigo allows cache owners to add virtual characters, puzzles, and other interactions to their hides. It’s simply another way to enhance the geocaching experience.
