+jocko126 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi all. I am working on a mystery cache that has a bunch of different mystery caches. I have them all solved but 2. The first one I'm having trouble looks like it may be braile but I try to copy and past it to look it up on a braile website or a decipher app and I can't copy it. It's like it's a picture with braile in it. The other cache is a set of coordinates and in the place of a few numbers there is letters. I been stumped for over a week now. I don't want anyone to just tell me the answer. I would just like to be pointed in the right direction. Maybe an app to use or a good website that tells me more info on how to solve mystery caches. I have looked around Web and so far no luck.I m still pretty new to geocaching, so I still have alot to learn. Thanks in advance for any help I recieve. Jocko126 Quote Link to comment

Jocko126 How about asking the cache owner of those where you need a nudge in the right direction. That person would me best able to guide you to the solution. Quote Link to comment
+Gill & Tony Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 With the Braille one, I would print the picture, then find a Braille alphabet and manually decode the Braille on the printed page. Quote Link to comment

Most puzzle cache owners are glad to point people in the right direction and give hints, they'll be happy that you're attempting their cache Quote Link to comment
+geekgrl1 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) There is a Facebook group called "Geocaching Puzzle Help" in which members give each advice for solving puzzles without giving away the answers. It is a good way to learn about different types of puzzles and resources for solving them. Cully Long's book is a good puzzle solving aid, especially the appendix with examples of different alphabets Edited October 7, 2015 by geekgrl1 Quote Link to comment
