I had to pick up my wife and daughter from the airport very late tonight, so I decided to take the opportunity to cache my way up here early and play as many Wherigos as I had time for. As it turned out, that equated to 2 completions and a partial on a 3rd one. I started with “Myst” since it is the prerequisite for 3 others. Traffic was ridiculous coming through Denver, so I didn’t get started until sunset. “Myst” took me 2 hours to complete, so by the time I got started here, it was completely dark out with no moon to help either.

The cartridge worked perfectly with very few technical issues. The only issue I had was when clicking “replay sound” repeatedly, the cartridge would crash and need to be restarted. The good news was that when that happened, it started me back up right where it crashed, so I didn’t need to re-do anything.

I took good notes along the way (more than necessary as it turned out) so I was able to easily get past the parts that probably get most people stuck. As soon as I completed the cartridge and found the container (after 10 pm), I needed to hurry up and get to the airport to pick up the girls.

Playing this cartridge reminded me of the very best Wherigo that I ever played which was called, "The Legend of Helga" (GC2GXCZ) located in San Antonio, TX. Playing this Wherigo, combined with going back and reading old logs from "Helga" has rekindled my efforts to write an epic adventure Wherigo of my own. So far, my Wherigo creation endeavors have been limited to a tour of the Alamo and some virtual tours of our solar system, but I think adventure-type Wherigos are the best kind.

I played the cartridge on my iPhone 4 using the wherigo app. I liked the feature that the completion code is saved in my inventory at the end of the game, but liked even more that I was able to unlock the cartridge on wherigo.com by uploading my saved game right from my iPhone.

Thanks for creating these; I'll plan my trip back up here to do the rest of them once the construction is no longer a hindrance at the other 2 expansions.

TFTC!
