Hi, We do "geocaching" here, it doesn't bring in a lot of people on a daily bases but we do get some patrons, what we have found out is that you do need to watch them while they are looking for the box. We had several patrons touch artifacts and moving things to figure out where the "box" was, we ended up moving it away from the main gallery area.

At the location there is a kind of a box, with a logbook inside they can sign. This is called "geocaching". If your museum's hours would mesh with when people do this game (weekends, I imagine), and if you could work out any other issues, this might be a low-key way to bring in a few more people. We don't currently do it here, but we might do it in the future. We'd been approached by one of the people who play this game, and she had offered to set it up. -Anne Troy Museum & Historic Village (Michigan) ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
