Submit this form with the results from running the Project-GC checker using your cacher name. - Finds:
- Find caches containing any of the properties, tokens, or random words listed on the "Home" tab in the title.
- Finds must be made between May 15, 2025, and June 30, 2025.
- Hides:
- Hide caches containing any of the properties, tokens, or random words listed on the "Home" tab in the title.
- Hides must be published between May 15, 2025, and June 30, 2025.
- Eligible Caches:
- Any cache with a GC code is eligible.
- Each individual cache can only be used once.
- At least 2 and no more than 6 caches containing properties, tokens, or random words in the title can be connected to form a chain. (There is an exception to the upper limit for bonus chains; see the "Scoring" tab for additional information.) Below is an example of a six-word chain:

- Words can be repeated within a chain, as long as they come from distinct caches. For example, the above chain contains two different caches with "park" in the title.
- Words can be part of another word in the cache title, but must be continuous. To be continuous, all letters of the word being searched for must be in the same order and not separated by anything else (e.g. "school" in "schoolcraft").
- If the name of a property or token contains multiple words, any of the individual words in the name can be used. As an example, for "Park Place," either "park" or "place" will count.
- A maximum of one word will count for each cache. If multiple words appear in the title of a cache, then only the word that appears first counts. In the above chain, for instance, only "park" is counted for "Laurel Park Place Shopping Mall," not "place."
- Words can be used in their singular or plural form. For example, either "state" or "states" will count.
- Aside from plurals, each word must appear exactly as indicated on the "Home" tab. An exception is that "St." can be used in place of "Saint."
- Points:
- Chains are awarded points as follows. There is no limit to the number of chains that can be completed.
- Six-word chain = 7 points
- Five-word chain = 6 points
- Four-word chain = 4 points
- Three-word chain = 2 points
- Two-word chain = 1 point
- A bonus of 10 points is awarded if one is able to chain together enough caches to complete the names of all properties of a single color. Below is a list of same colored properties:
- Blue: Boardwalk, Park Place
- Green: Pennsylvania Avenue, North Carolina Avenue, Pacific Avenue
- Yellow: Marvin Gardens, Atlantic Avenue, Ventnor Avenue
- Red: Illinois Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Kentucky Avenue
- Orange: New York Avenue, Tennessee Avenue, Saint James Place
- Light Purple: Virginia Avenue, States Avenue, Saint Charles Place
- Light Blue: Connecticut Avenue, Oriental Avenue, Vermont Avenue
- Dark Purple: Mediterranean Avenue, Baltic Avenue
- As an example, finding 3 caches with "boardwalk," "park," and "place" in the title, respectively, would complete the blue property chain and earn 10 points.
- If a property chain contains the same word multiple times, a separate cache is needed for each instance of the word. For example, the orange property chain requires 2 different caches with "avenue" in the title.
- If a cache is used as part of a bonus chain, it cannot also be used as part of a regular chain.
- Winners:
- Winners will be chosen by a random drawing of entrants. The more points you have, the greater your chances of winning.
- The number of winners will depend on the number of entrants:
- 1-15 entrants = 1 winner
- 16-30 entrants = 2 winners
- 31+ entrants = 3 winners
- Prizes:
- Lake Superior and Lake Huron members are playing for a collectible geocoin.
- Lake St. Clair and Trial members are playing for a membership upgrade coupon.
- Membership is measured at the end of the challenge. Anyone who upgrades their membership during the challenge period will be competing at the upgraded level.
