Didn't Cicada 3301 have a geocaching component? Or that was a different game... hm.
It referenced existing art, so maybe that is a connection, but seems like a stretch
Right. I remember there was a game about "controlling" areas, virtual but based on IRL geocaching. These monoliths that people place in somewhat remote places, then dismantle them after a few days, got me thinking it could be part of a "find it while it's there" or something.
It's interesting to see they're still going after at least 4 years.
That sounds like Ingress, the precursor to Pokemon Go
Right, that one! I forgot the name. So, I wonder if it could be something like that going on.
Could be some ARG for sure.
