Remember this game board from when you were young. The game of Chutes and Ladders.

This is a cache is based about as close to Chutes and Ladders as I could come up with. In the board game you spin a wheel and move so many spaces. Pure luck or lack of lands you on a square where you either slide back down or a ladder that you climb faster to the finish.

If you are lucky you will go straight to the finish. If you make a wrong decision you will go backwards to have to answer the questions again. It is mostly about luck and memory to get to the finish.

Depending on your choices at each stage will dictate how long this game is. At best the complete cache will have you walk 1.5 miles round trip. If you answer wrong you will slide back and have more time to the game.

Personally I think doing this game with a group but individually answering would take some forward and others backwards and be fun to see who comes out the winner in the end. I can bet you will be walking past each other just as the game board would have you doing.

Have fun and when you log the final cache let me know how you did with chutes and ladders. BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AWAY ANY ANSWERS SO OTHERS CAN FULLY ENJOY.

Took awhile but finally found it, had to restart and a neighbor let us take a shortcut. Good cache

This one definitely showed Barasaur's fiendish side. Team Tiger Pride & I first attempted this WhereIGo last December, and finally gave up when both of our phones died. We gave it another shot when we were in the neighborhood today (fortunately I had recorded the answers we got right last time), and discovered that we had quit only one stage prior to the final! Finally finished it and bid it a not-so-fond adieu, glad to be done with it!

Man o man this one doing more chutes than ladders. Came back today armed to finally finish just to find out we were at the last stage before the final. It took us a year to finish this one. Need to get more like this out in the world. Thanks for a great cache and the exercise.

I'd say I thought a tiny bit outside the box on this one. I may have contacted a non caching friend to come for a walk. We both may have been using a phone... or (2). That's all I'll say on that note, but we found a fairly quick route considering some of the logs this one has seen! We didn't manage to escape with a perfect run, but the back and forth wasn't bad. Like others, I found the final actually required WAY more stealth than I would have imagined. Seems to be very family friendly that's for sure. Not many signatures on the actual log that's for sure. I'm glad I went after this one after reading some of the logs before me. Hats off to those people who faced so many unlucky choices! A fun whereigo experience all around. I need to build more of them myself! Thanks for the time and effort I know it takes to put these together and TFTC|SL

Now I remember why I never liked this game and why I never enjoy gambling. I only had 4 chutes, but the ones I had probably doubled the distance to the final location. :-( Thankfully some clouds showed up, so I avoided sun stroke. The cache description does clearly explain the cache. Thanks for the effort to put this Wherigo together. I would give it a favorite, but I chose the wrong option. ;-)

I'm glad we had our walking shoes on. Over two miles we logged on this entertaining cache game. I think we had more ladders than chutes. Nice job, Bary.

Catching up on my online logging. Found this cache with husband, animjason. We found these while we were up north visiting with my family, thanks!

Fun Wherigo, goes a little faster playing on two phones. Thanks.

I love making and finding Wherigos, so this one caught my eye. I even try to keep a current bookmark of all Colorado ones.

Sissadies' brother was in town, so we headed north for a mini family reunion with him, her parents, and her grandma. To my added delight, there were three Wherigos within 5 miles, this one being the closest!

After we all went out separate ways, we headed to this one first. I am not a good guesser LOL. But we took notes. Back and back, back and forth, one step further each time, mostly... we ended up with 6 ladders and 5 chutes.

Due to muggles at final location, and how far we were from home, I called a friend for a stealthier find of the final after peeking around for a bit. Thanks!

Thanks for a fun workout and Wherigo. I'm almost done placing another one in Parker that will have a decent walk, and some Easter Eggs (the tricky kind, not the tasty kind).

Gets a FAVE.

Thanks barasaur! Logged Chutes and Ladders from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!

after reading my sad log the CO took pity on us & messaged me that we could log this as found. We live almost 3 hours from Ft. Collins so we really had no plans to return any time soon just to try to find this final again not knowing when the coast would be clear so as not to raise any neighborhood muggle suspicions.
