Issaquah Team Launches 'Geocaching Adventure Lab' Game

ISSAQUAH, WA — A group Issaquah residents have teamed up with the Woodland Park Zoo and Geocaching to launch a new wildlife-based family adventure game.

The Adventure Lab is a new Geocaching app that lets people create and share their own location-based games, placing clues and puzzles at various locations. In Issaquah, the Carnivore Coexistatance Action Team joined forces with the Woodland Park Zoo to craft a 10 adventure stops across downtown Issaquah.

The game takes between an hour and 90 minutes, and each stop will reveal lessons about local wildlife, including bears, bobcats and cougars.

Here's how to play:

1. If you don’t already have a geocaching account, register for a free Basic membership at https://www.geocaching.com/play/search
2. Download the free Adventure Lab app on your mobile phone
3. Head to downtown Issaquah. Best parking options to start your adventure include the Issaquah Community Center, Confluence Park, or E. Sunset Way trailhead. Once there, you can find this Adventure on the map or list in the app.
4. Read the descriptions and answer questions at each stop to reveal more information about our local carnivores and to discover how we can coexist!
