This idea and device is really amazing and open up all types of doors for MilSim scenarios. Not sure if I have the time or skills to do this, but it might be a back burner project. Where is Clutch when I need him!?!
First, this is inspired by the original Reverse Geocache Puzzle which is an incredibly clever piece of work!
This device is a locked Pelican-brand case that is stuffed with electronics. It can only be opened when it is within a pre-determined geographical area; otherwise it remains shut and gives simple hints about where it needs to go in order to be opened. This is in contrast to what happens in Geocaching, where the physical location of a container is known and the container itself must be found. Instead, the container itself is held and the physical location must be found. Hence the name “reverse geocache”.
A user has a limited number of attempts (default 50) to solve the puzzle. After 50 attempts the user is limited to one additional attempt per hour. If the box is at the proper location, it can be opened! If it is not, the box tells the user how far they are from the target location, how far they moved since the last activation, and how far they have to be from the target location in order for the puzzle to count as solved (example: “You must be within 1.0km of the target location”).
