My muggle wife loves the adventure labs. We like how they are digital tour guides. However while doing an AL this weekend we found one of the stages out of order and we were not able to complete it. The stages were locked for chronicle order thus we could not go on. Just by chance I knew someone vaguely associated to the AL. I was able to call them directly to let them know of the problem. Please consider making a way to message the CO so you can report problems. Since we couldn’t complete the AL we could not leave a review thus no way to notify anyone. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work!
Could be great
Needs an up date
So much of the Adventure Lab experience depends on the community creating and putting effort into the adventures. Unfortunately you will often find people putting out adventures with no real purpose of taking you to the location you need to be to complete the adventure. The very first one I ever did took me all around my town and had me looking at things I never thought to look at before. Signs I never noticed, details in statues, etc. However I have noticed that the more that people make new adventures the more soulless the adventures become. Often times taking you out on a trail for the sake of doing it without actually having a reason to be standing there. I love community driven content but unfortunately it feels like without more moderation of quality there isn’t a reason to do these. I’m also not a fan of my adventure lab “finds” being counted towards my actual geocache finds. I would be happier if it was its own separate stat counter. P.S. the GEOregon map art experience is the main cause for this negative review. That map art is the culmination of all my gripes with the app from previous labs brought into one awful experience of just wanting to get the labs done and over with.
Infuriating at times

As the only option to do lab caches these days, had no choice but to deal with this app. At its best, the graphics were good (much nicer than the Wherigo app.) But had lots of difficulties on an iPhone X. Sometimes the app wouldn’t start (just showing a blank orange screen) and had to re-install the app several times. Once it is working, several annoying issues. 1) when you are at a location (blue dot and orange dot are on top of each other), I could not click on orange dot. 2) after correctly answering a lab cache question, a pop up asks if you want to review the journal-this is a wasted question since you have no other option. I have zero interest in reviewing the journal and rather it default to the map to avoid needless clicks. 3) I tend to turn off location services unless absolutely necessary. When I started the app the next day, it assumes I am at coords N 0 W 0 off the coast of Africa and the list is way too long to find the series of interest. Instead, the app should remember where I was last at or at least give me list of the series that are in-progress or completed.

What a great little town. I am teaching my Dad about geocaching and he is enjoying it. He isn’t very mobile so I park where he can watch me search if needed and then take pictures to show him. We enjoyed this cache but it was a bit challenging when trying to enter the answers. 1. The Legend of HA HA Pizza - I tried to enter the business name but it kept saying incorrect answers . I began to think that maybe the original business had closed but was persistent. The first name of the business on the sign ends in “ ‘s “ but I had to enter it as “ es “ in the app and then it worked!2. Meditation - This hint showed a picture of a mural that the mural with the answer was supposed to be next to. Unfortunately, the mural that was given as a hint is now gone but again with persistence and help from a person who works nearby we found the mural with the fairies and was able to answer the question. I tried to enter the numeric number but it wanted it spelled out. 3. The Epic Book Shop - We easily found the mural but it appears that the Book Shop is now closed and now may be a vegan eatery? To answer you need to spell out the number alphabetically and then good to go. 4. A Mother’s Love - Love this mural and the answer with the next door business name was not an issue. Thanks for showing us these little gems of the town. We enjoyed it very much.
