It’s true—we play where we work!

“This is a place where you make friends on your first day, high-five the office dogs on a weekly basis, share your unfiltered thoughts and ideas with the cofounder, get your fill of nostalgic childhood sweets from the magical snack drawers (#chocopie), play fantasy football with the CFO, and (perhaps most importantly) spend your weekends truly and unapologetically unplugged from work. Geocaching HQ is kind of like a geocache itself: truly a hidden gem amongst the tech giants and startups in Seattle, right under your nose.” (“The 50 Best Places to Work in 2021.” Outside Online, Outside Magazine, 29 Nov. 2021, www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/best-places-to-work-2021/.)

Caring for planet earth

Because our game is played outside, we see ourselves as stewards of the environment. We demonstrate this through initiatives like Cache In Trash Out® (CITO). Since 2002, this program enables the geocaching community to beautify and restore tens of thousands of outdoor spaces.

Actions often speak louder than words. By participating in a CITO Event, whether by collecting trash, planting trees, or crafting new homes for pollinators, we make our world a better place. Each CITO we attend is a testament to care: care for others, our communities, and our planet. CITO Events can be a safe, socially-distant way to gather that adheres to your local laws and health guidance for outdoor activities. As with all outdoor activities, please follow the most current regulations from public health authorities.

Back at HQ, we have a Green Team dedicated to environmental responsibility. Together, we’ve:

• Subscribed to specialized recycling services & reuse shipping materials
• Donated a tree for every birthday & work anniversary
• Maintain an EnviroStars Champion Level Recognized office space
