Thanks to everyone who has found my puzzle caches, I have enjoyed the journey and watching the struggle but I have not cached now for so long i think i will retire all of these caches because to be honest i'm not going to look after them any more.

Cheers Folks

We’ve had this puzzle solved for forever it seems, but for one reason or another we seem to run out of time whenever we were in the area.
Today was going to be the day .. rain, hail or shine .. so after pulling up nearby, the kids were quick to amuse themselves with what 8 & 10 year old brothers do when they are sick of caching for the day Razz
I had a pretty good idea of what i was looking for and where, but it still took me AGES to lay my hands on it! I was very happy to finally spot the container, and quite annoyed with myself for not checking that area more thoroughly [:o)]
I added our name and replaced the cache as found ... TFTC and the neat puzzle Murrkin.

*Such a shame that you felt the need to archive all your caches Murrkin Sad ... after a little snooping, i can see you had some beauties!

Too early in morning but atlas one that I have been wanting to complete for some time

Was excited to get to the end of the game and grab these coords, but unfortunately no luck at GZ. It's a shocking day so might just be a bad read, I'll be back to have another scout another day.

Find 5 of 15 on a mountain bike tour of Ellenbrook on a wet and sunny day!

Cache radar on the blink. Took a minute to re-calibrate it then Mrs. O. did the spotting and Mr.O the retrieving. Puzzle was solved in an unconventional (lazy) way.

After several failed attempts to replace this cache - popular area with teenage muggles - I have tonight managed to get the mint tin in place. The CO can enable.
 
18-Jul-16
Thanks for your effort GHFB I look forward to logging the find when next in Perth, it sounds like its a bit of a challenge to retrieve Smile
 
18-Jul-16
You legend! Good to go
 
07-Jul-16
Have passed the game and have the final coordinates just waiting for the replacement cache Smile
 
07-Jul-16
New cache container is being sourced, and coloured to suit the environment. shouldn't be too long now, well done on passing the game.
 
23-Jun-16
After a geo family attempt and many frustrating hours geo son finally beat the boss and with elation had the coordinates in hand, a visit and hunt around GZ before we found the remnants of the cache spread around the park, sadly destroyed, will message CO but we are logging this as a find as we found the "bits"
 
23-Jun-16
Will get it looked into thanks GHFB
 
23-Jun-16
I maintain this cache on behalf of the CO, I will replace on my next days off.
 
Frustration of the game but led to elation of the find, great idea for a cache, wasn't easy to achieve with t he laptop, am struggling with pacman even more
 
09-Oct-15
Woohoo, finally found this one after missing it some time back. Didn't take too long to spot it. Nice puzzle and cache. TFTC
 
15-Aug-15
We had planned a day out in the Valley and I wanted to do some caches on the way. I spotted this one late last night and sent the link to my husband to give it a go as well. I'm happy to say I made it to the boss but he beat me to finishing it first :/ Took the cords down and popped them in my phone. Once at GZ it didn't take us long to have the cache in hand. TFTC

Loved the game Very Happy

Finally. Found by Ari, mum and dad. Thanks for the help outbackwizard.
 
09-Apr-15
Logging as a find to clear from searches (because I don't own the cache it keeps coming up)
 
My girlfriend and I took turns until we got this. Signed the log today. TFTC
 
09-Jan-15
No joy today. Searched all along the shrubs under the pergola but couldn't unearth a cache.
 
13-Sep-14
Found it. Only took two years!
 
10-Sep-14
Cache and Puzzle both check - safe to say all is fine with this placement.
 
22-Mar-14
Apologies for edit in logging - had pre typed our mission for Hafgood but forgot to merge with our log after finding cache
Continuing on our mission for Hafgood and Yay 2 for 2 - geoboyfriend found this one while I was still celebrating finding $10 in a tobacco packet!!
Took Pathtag and left one of mine
Thanks murrkin & ghfb

#1010,

Happy Hafgood,

two new MM smilies Smile

Lots of goes at this one to get the co-ords but get them I did, PacMan is more my game than this one but got there in the end.

TFTC Murrkin & thanks Hiddo. Fave? Of course, I know how much you crave them...

clearing the Needs main request

Will investigate asap
 
20-Feb-14
Cache is fine and dandy. Not sure what you found or where you were searching
 
20-Feb-14
Found the cache but without giving too much away it could do with a look from the CO. Nothing in the cache and the way to access it has been broken. Although a cool idea and would have been great for the little one if it was up and running.
 
30-Oct-13
The mission today was to track down as many solved puzzles as possible while in the northern suburbs area. I was a bit better with this one compared with murrkin's similar puzzle. I actually thought I was getting there at one stage, but the opposition was just too good! However after farming this game out as well to friends and family one of them finally came up with the answer. Phew !!
So today I was able to track it down quickly and sign my name. Left my pathtag and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache murrkin.

In my never ending quest to solve all of Murrkin's puzzles it was inevitable that eventually I would need to travel over 8000 miles Big Grin

I had solved the UK version of this some time ago and now to do it all over again...

This time I had experience on my side and after altering a few parameters I began my journey...

I took a long time to get the co-ords although not as long as the UK one Big Grin

Time after time I died, time after time I tried again Smile

Eventually there they were...those magic numbers!

They have sat corrected on the page for ages...would I ever get my name on the log? Big Grin

Finally today was the day!

Thank you once again for a superb puzzle Mr Murrkin!

Gotta be a foxy favourite!!!!! [^]

Great idea for a cache, although we had to enlist some family help to complete it.
Made the find after a short search. Thanks for the cache Murrkin & Ghfb.

My name is K.B. and I have a problem. I'm addicted to this game. I play between 20 and 50 games a week. The link is saved on my toolbar. I have my laptop screen set permanently on 94% since that way I can see the entire game zone. I try to not shoot as long as possible, I try to get a high score, I try to kill the worm in the correct order from tail back to head, I try to get the lowest possible score, I try to complete the game without using the 3 way shooter, I try to finish the game with the 3 way shooter still in tact. As I said, I am addicted. Finally this afternoon, on a drive back into Perth after spending the weekend up north, I stopped to log the find. Mickeydv spotted the hide and we both signed the log. Thanks for the ongoing entertainment murrkin.

Try as I could I could not get to the end, although I was close....KB on the other hand mastered it quickly....great concept...cheers murrkin

Found with J&E of "3 Hoard"

Thanks for the cache, TNLN.

Great game.
E from 3 beat R from PaidTheUmp to get coords. A small hunt at gz to find the cache.
Thanks!

Found on Australia day!

Was on to this one like seagull to a sick prawn when it was first published. Had fun trying to get through to the end and finally got there.

Another surprising way to get the finals. Cachers never cease to amaze me.

TFTC and game.

My reactions are way too slow for this stuff. I recruited the 16-year old and he cracked it quick smart. That was just after it was published. I eventually had the opportunity to grab the cache today after the orienteering event in Ellen Brook this afternoon. SL TFTC

Mr Felix out on a maintenance run and trying to bowl over a few caches aswell.

OMG. What a saga this is. First of all it has taken how long..... to get the game to reveal its secret [8)]

Think Mrs Felix recent sick leave must be RSI of the neck/wrists from being soooo addicted.

Anyhow co-ords finally located then to find time to get out to find the cache. Luckily Mr Felix was in the area
today so it was added to the list.

Parked in a conveniently located parking bay only to find the Geo cruiser being continuously circled by muggles on razr scooters!

Eventually they bug......ed off and he was able to make the find.

Very very different puzzle that certainly brought back some long forgotten memories.

A fave from us.

Loved this cache from start to finish, very innovative idea, had a lot of fun playing.... If a little frustrating!!!

Final Cache location in a lovely spot as well.

Well worth a FAV point.

Had to call in one of the nephews to do the work on this one - they didn't mind one bit! Nice hide.

Thanx for the puzzle - the muggle son-in-law loved it.Red Face
 
08-Oct-12
Yahoo!! I have no idea how many hours I spent trying to win this game, but it was MANY! I was soooo pleased once I cottoned on to how to beat that blasted caterpillar, and stuck at it until I did it. Phew!

It didn't take me too long to find the cache at GZ. Thanks for the game and the cache murrkin!
 
07-Oct-12
Took a lot less time to find the cache than to find the co-ords to it

My Grandson play the game for me.... Accompanied with blingg, nice park area - had to wait until muggles leave the park, we signed the log. Thanks murrkin...

Talk about out of practice! OMG.

Spent almost an hour playing that game, solved now to find time for a trip to ellenbrook. great puzzle
 
28-Sep-12
I've never been good at this and it was a bit frustrating as a result but persisted until I got the coordinates. After Gwiber got home we went for a drive to find it.

Thanks murrkin for the cache.
