Shipyard Pals Scavenger Hunt
Use the Geocaching Adventure Lab app to discover North Vancouver’s shipbuilding heritage.
With summer in full swing, the NVMA team wanted to find a way to encourage folks in the community to get outside and explore North Vancouver!
Designed for kids of all ages, the Geocaching Adventure Lab is a new app that allows you to create, play and share location-based experiences and games. The Geocaching Adventure Lab app guides players through the process of finding clues, solving puzzles, and completing Adventures one location at a time. If you’re already a Geocaching member, these caches count towards your geocaching statistics and total finds.
Curious to learn more? All you need to do is download the Geocaching Adventure Lab app on your smartphone and look for the “Shipyard Pals Scavenger Hunt” in the Lower Lonsdale area.
Find Shipyard Workers Sam and Sal at key locations around the historic Burrard Dry Dock Shipyard site, a.k.a The Shipyards, to discover pieces of North Vancouver’s shipbuilding heritage.
For a chance to win a $50.00 gift card to a local Shipyards District business, take a selfie at one of the locations and post it on social media with #ShipyardSelfie and #NVMA.
The NVMA created this fully accessible Geocache Adventure. For the answers to the riddles, check out the front door of the new Museum of North Vancouver (opening in late-2020) at 115 Esplanade West Avenue.
