Feature request: BadgeGen: Challenges

Question

Challenges have become a part of Geocaching, and although they are a unknown cache type they are a very particular unknown cache type. I would like to see a BadgeGen badge for them (Perhaps a question mark superimposed on a pile of traditionals?)

I appreciate we should get Kyle's permission/approval, or even get him to add it to his GSAK macro. Also it does require another piece of work that is already in the PGC pipeline to be completed first - a way of seperating out caches that have "challenge" in their name but are not actually challenge caches.

I think this is a great idea - do you?

This has challenge in the name but is not a challenge cache.

Answer 1

All innovation with BadgeGen is provided from Kyle, we have the permission to use it and re-implement as well as we can. We are not allowed to modify or add content. Removing those badges where we had technical difficulties is ok though.

I then doubt that BadgeGen will implement such badge, since they will have an issue determining what a challenge cache is. Besides this, I wouldn't mind such badge. Though I  think it's hard to design, the amount of challenges are increasing rapidly.

Answer 2

The best (and only ?) way to separate real from false challenge caches would be at geocaching.com level, so I fear that is not possible.

But I agreee with you that would be a nice badge, I like these challenges too.

Answer 3

How about creating a series of challenge caches based on the BadgeGen?  Maybe they already exist and I'm just not aware of it.  This might just have given me an idea!

Well, that is a side issue, not related to my topic. Incidentally - I have done a well rounded cacher challenge, Qualify if you have 25 badges, at least 5 of which are gems.
