Re: Challenge Checker Request GC9AB7C

Hello,

I would like a Challenge Checker for Adventurelab caches.

Challenge:
Find at least 1 Adventure lab cache on every day in any given month
Find at least 1 Adventure lab cache in every month, at any given year.

Thank you
Dunaghiri

I'm sorry but since the introduction in 2016 of the challenge guidelines this type of challenge is no longer allowed.

Please read https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206#criteria

Not acceptable

Trackable, Benchmarking, Waymarking logs, or specifying Lab Cache finds.

But thats because of the "old" LAB Caches.
This is about Adventure Lab caches.... New ones since 2019. Perhaps i could contact groundspeak if they can update the guidelines since this is a new type of geocache.

This is the guidence I got this month

Quote
Our understanding is that where Lab caches are ‘automatically’ compiled in geocaching statistics, such as Total Finds and Finds Calendar then, by default they will be included in any Challenge cache that uses one of those designators.
 
What we believe is not approved is any Challenge that specifically includes or requires Lab Caches.
 
From a Project-GC perspective, we would think that if you have to deliberately add ‘Lab Cache’ as a category to be included in some script, then it would not/should not be approved

So, if it would be a combined, Virtual and Adventure Lab cache it would be allowed.

I can change the listing and requirements into these two cache types

As since the introduction Virtual rewards, there are many more virtuals and with the Adventure labcaches there are many labs.

So in the same idea can you make a Challenge checker for:

Find at least ONE Virtual or Adventurelab cache at EVERY day of the month regardless the year,
AND at least 10 Virtuals OR Labcaches in every month of the year at any given year.

You still have the problem "Challenge that specifically includes or requires Lab Caches"

Please ask your local reviewer if he would allow the challenge

OK. As the chances of accepting are small, i realized i also qualify this cache on Virtuals alone. When Groundspeak will allow Labs's i can always make a new one. So new Request:

Can you make a Checker for:

Find at least 1 Virtual cache on every day in any given month
Find at least 1 Virtual cache in every month, at any given year.

Capture shows i qualify

Please test and reply

Works perfectly! Thank you
