Inventor Mikal Hart shifts geocaching in reverse. Hart’s “Reverse Geocaching Puzzle Box” is a locked box that needs you to deliver it to a secret location. The box won’t unlock until you take it to this pre-programmed destination. The GPS-enabled box presents users with a deceivingly simple button and a small display.
