Revision as of 02:49, 27 February 2007
Themed caches are caches that have an unusual requirement or request beyond finding the cache and signing the log.
In 2007, Geocaching.com published revised Cache Listing Requirements/Guidelines that clarified how themed caches should be listed. Themed caches with mandatory requirements should be listed as mystery/puzzle caches. Themed caches with optional requests can be listed as traditional caches, assuming they otherwise meet the guidelines for traditional caches.
