The DC210 Group will be hosting a contest called the "Defcon Geo Challenge"
(Geo Caching with Digital Spin)
What Is The Geo Challenge?
Were taking Geo Caching to the next level. Geo Caching in Vegas, with RFID & Wi-Fi.
Add the urban environment of the Vegas strip, RFID embedded items, puzzles and trivia
that require tech knowledge, a website that contains a progressive stream of puzzles
& you now have the makings of the Defcon Geo Challenge.
Objective
Teams of 2 will receive puzzles and clues via the contest website. Each puzzle will require
a particular skill or knowledge for completion. Once completed a correct answer will reveal
the next step in locating the Geo Cache coordinates. GPS coordinates will lead contestants
to locations on the Vegas Strip where caches have been placed. Many caches will be disguised
or in digital form requiring detailed searching and further decoding. Scoring will be based on
multiple criteria, but mainly on the number of puzzles solved.
Equipment Required
Teams will be required to supply their own GPS device, Google Earth may suffice, but remember
you will be looking for small objects that are made to blend into the surroundings, so accuracy
is key. Teams are also required to have a portable computing device (PDA, Laptop, ect.) as
answers can be submitted via the internet without returning to the contest area. Each team will
be issued a RFID reader to assist in scanning of RFID embedded caches.
Prizes & Sponsors
The First and Second place teams will receive a nice package of prizes. Many thanks to all
the sponsors who offered discounts on gear and donation of prizes. The response was great,
especially for a first year event.
