Since 2000, people all over the world have been engaged in geocaching, a game of hiding and seeking geocaches, in the course of which “treasure boxes” are hidden and sought using navigational techniques and information technology. Caches are placed in concealed locations in physical space, and the information that the participants jointly manage and renew is uploaded to the Internet, where communication takes place. The aim of this research is to juxtapose geocaching with the play features highlighted in classical ludology as well as present other possibilities of categorisation which have been applied in previous studies of this recreational activity. While discussing the playfulness of geocaching, the author points out the peculiarities of ludic traits of the hobby in order to diversify folkloristic knowledge with developments in the game genre on the one hand, and modification of the idea of treasure hunt on the other hand under the cultural conditions of the information era. The article focuses, above all, on geocaching in Estonia, yet also offers insights into the game on an international level.
