Geocaching Australia
This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia.

A Jigsaw cache is a cache where the hider has created an online jigsaw puzzle and asks the community to use the jigsaw website to solve the puzzle and obtain a codeword in order to log it.

Please note that the Jigsaw cache type has been introduced through feedback during the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic as a way in which some geocachers can continue to participate in the activity of geocaching. As a Jigsaw cache does not have a location they can be considered an armchair cache in that they can be logged without leaving your home and as such there are some restrictions on the way that they are counted in your statistics.

As an online Jigsaw puzzle does not exist in the real world a new log type of Solved will be used to identify that a cacher has solved the jisaw puzzle. Solved log types does not contribute to your find counts.
