Community Insight:
Great tour of historic churches.
We enjoyed walking in this area and reading the signs.
Quick adventure during a layover.
What a great way to explore! Weve used this app to enjoy adventure labs all summer. Its been a perfect way to safely get outside and play during COVID. Thanks to the builders and creators who make this fun possible.
Easy and fun finds on a sunny spring day.
This was more difficult than we expected, party because of typos and hints not being clear.
The lab is nice however we like a lil bit more history- thanks for the effort and time.
Enjoyable way to increase your step count.
Questions and answers, games, like we spy; educational; History and more subject that we can think of. Fun and yes geocaching points too.
We have had the most fun exploring with Adventure Lab.
After over 14 years of geocaching with over 31000 finds we finally found an adventure application we can wrap our head around. We especially appreciate those adventures that have puzzles incorporated into the answers. Keep up the good work Groundspeak, you never fail to amaze us.
Easy to use even for a technology challenged old lady.
Great times and fun information.
All scream for ice cream! Thanks for the fun.
We love adventure lab it rocks and its fun.
Thank you. Learned things about the area we didnt know.
We have not done an adventure lab that gets you all out in town, but this one brought us to some pretty cool places. Blue Ridge is a beautiful place thanks for getting us out in it.
This app is hard to use and when we search the area it will tell us to adjust the filter and we will and it still wont give us anything. P.S to the developers if you see this please add a feature that marks geocaches in the area.
Loved this self-guided tour of public art pieces and the in-depth descriptions of the pieces.
A fun way to see different parts of one of our favorite parks and faster to complete than we expected.
Uses a lot of battery. Difficult to know where locations are when they overlap with other adventures.
Adventure Lab is super fun. Its a rad addition to the Geocaching app.
We have been to Julian for 58 years and learned so much today.
We like this much better than Geocaching. Its just a way to help you explore places without feeling totally stupid searching for something that nobody knows what youre doing.
This is a great way to get out and explore the areas and learn a little history as well. The adventures open you up to areas that you may have overlooked in the past. We pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it.
Thanks for helping pass the time.
Great information and a good way to pass the time.
Excellent activity to play with visitors to Baton Rouge. It is easy to walk to the locations too.
We love the way these adventures take you to places you may not stop to check out. Learn a lot about many of the towns we have done the adventure labs. Love these, keep them coming.
These are so fun. They are educational and gets us out and about.
Offers great tours of areas really enjoying this.
Interesting concept but very immature. There doesnt seem to be any map available when navigating – just a compass. Sometimes a map works better. Tried to do our first adventure today only to find access to stage 4 was closed for construction and theres no way leave a review midway through the adventure. We both prefer /multicaches.
We loved the parks that it took us to and especially loved the cemetery. Made a pitstop at the winery down the street. Great history, we loved it.
Great way to explore and learn about the googolplex.
The"small visual changes" made adventure labs more difficult for us to use. We have had issues where it is hard to identify where a lab is because of the change in icon size and color. Also the AL keeps reverting to a lab we had recently been working on instead of the one we choose based on our location. This is especially frustrating when we are in an area with multiple adventure labs with multiple stops that cross over. When we switch, it switches back. This also happens with the individual stages at times. We will click on one to highlight and open and it will take us back to the next suggested stage or a previously completed stage. We definitely do NOT like the small visual changes.
Very pretty flowers on a nice walk.
So sad that the app opens and crashes immediately now. We hope a fix is in the works. We love this app.
Im really enjoying this new take on geocaching. The app could use some tweaks but overall its great fun.
Definitely worth delving to for fun & education with the entire family.
Very interesting history of the area.
Cant see the back up button. So every timeWe get one we have to exit the app Adderall go right back in it otherwise were stuck.
Weve never been up to the Abbey before, thanks for the excuse.
To much research for an adventure lab…..only good thing about it was the different sites we were taken to…will probably pass on the adventure labs from now on as this became quite discouraging. But hey thanks anyway.
Lots to see and learn. Easy access to answers.
Thanks!! Enjoyed the history tour along with the ice cream treat at the end.
If you like standing around in a parking lot and wracking up a bunch in of fake finds then this is the app for you. Only download this app if you are a soulless stat padder. This is a separate game and shouldnt be associated with geocaching.
Learning about history of areas.
Thank you for a lovely tour through the City Beautiful.
Graduated from here many years ago.
Adventure Lab is not really a game. Its more like a series of questions you have to answer that happen to give you credit for a geocache find. Most of the time you just drive around and read words off signs. We would never use this app to introduce someone to geocaching. We hope they add some kind of functionality that actually makes this interactive or have game elements, but its been several years now and they havent done anything with the platform.
