CACHE ADVANCE is a reality-based

competition show where teams of

complete strangers are pitted against

each other in a hunt to find

GEOCACHES that will earn them the

ONLY MONEY they will have to continue

racing, competing, and surviving

through a specific region of the world

and every terrain from the top of a

skyscraper to the bottom of the sea.

CONCEPT

Page 3: CACHE ADVANCE

GEOCACHINGGeocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure

hunting game where players use GPS enabled devices to locate secret containers called

GEOCACHES hidden throughout the world.

Geocaches can take nearly any shape, size, or design and are given a RATING based on the cache’s location, terrain, and difficulty to find.

Caches can be as small as a marble or as big as a steamer trunk and are located everywhere.

Every cache contains a logbook to sign in your visit. Some caches include other objects like

trinkets and prizes.

GEOCACHES WORLDWIDE: 2.2 million

LOCATIONS: 100+ countries, all 7 continents

GEOCACHERS WORLDWIDE: 6+ million

LOGS IN THE LAST 30 DAYS: 8 million

Page 4: CACHE ADVANCE

THE GAME

Teams are formed by randomly pairing contestants. Each team will be provided with a GPS enabled device, a survival backpack with bare essentials, and

ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY.

Each episode is a new GEOCACHING CHALLENGE: a race between teams to earn money by finding and collecting as

many geocaches as possible before time expires.

The amount of time for a challenge, number/type of caches, and locations will vary from episode to episode, but every

challenge will be uniquely designed to test a team’s ingenuity, willpower, and guile.

All teams have the same GOAL: earn enough money to continue in the

competition or risk being eliminated.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

Page 5: CACHE ADVANCE

STARTING POINTFor each challenge teams are

given coordinates for the STARTING POINT. When

challenge starts every team will be given the coordinates and ratings

for of the geocaches.

CACHE TOKENSInside every geocache will be a single CACHE TOKEN. These

tokens will have a monetary value and be divided into three

categories: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH.

LOW caches will be the most abundant, easiest to locate, and worth the least amount of money.

HIGH caches will be fewest in number, most difficult to acquire, and worth the most amount of

money.

THE GAME

Page 6: CACHE ADVANCE

THE GAME

FINISH WAYPOINTTeams must arrive at a designated

FINISH WAYPOINT with all cache tokens before time expires or face monetary

penalties.

CACHE INAt the end of a challenge teams will

CACHE IN their tokens for actual money-- the ONLY MONEY they will

have to survive until the next challenge. Earnings will be split between

teammates.

CACHED OUT (ELIMINATION)The team earning the least amount of

money in a challenge will be eliminated, or CACHED OUT.

LET THE DRAMA BEGIN.

Page 7: CACHE ADVANCE

THE GAMEWith finite funds and tight budgets teams will have to determine what’s most

valuable: a cold beer? A warm shower? A hearty meal? Clean clothes? A roof

over their heads for the night?

Teammates will inevitably disagree on how to SPEND or SAVE their earnings,

which will only lead to drama and tension between teams and teammates.

With challenges continuously changing locations, from cities to jungles to islands

and different countries, teams are expected to keep up with the game’s

movement. Teams will be responsible for their own transportation to challenge

locations and if they can’t keep up, they’ll be CACHED OUT.

Regardless if a team is winning or losing, it will be a constant struggle to prioritize spending while remaining competitive.

EPISODE FORMAT

INTROEpisodes will begin with team TRAVEL and SURVIVAL updates since the last challenge.

This is a forum to learn what drama has unfolded between teams and teammates

living and traveling on limited budgets.

CHALLENGEThe HOST will reveal specifics of the

challenge (instructions, cache types and values, required transportation, etc.) and will

provide STARTING and ENDING WAYPOINTS. Then it’s off to the races.

CACHE IN - CACHE OUTTeams Cache-In their tokens and discover how much they’ve earned, who won the

MegaCache and it’s value, and finally which team has been Cached-Out.

WRAP UPWatch teams: celebrate staying in the

game, assess their performances, how they spend their evening, and finally strategizing how to get to the next challenge location.

Page 9: CACHE ADVANCE

GEOCACHESMEGACACHEIn addition to LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH caches, every Geocaching Challenge will have a single MegaCache token hidden

amongst the other caches. The value of a MegaCache will be unknown until it’s

CACHED IN at the FINISH WAYPOINT.A MegaCache could be any number of

things: a night at a luxury hotel, a delicious meal, free transportation to the next

Geocaching Challenge.

CACHE ADVANCEIn every challenge there will also be a hidden CACHE ADVANCE token. When this token is used it freezes teams where they are and

gives whomever used it the ability to find geocaches while the other teams sit idly for

a brief period of time.

MegaCaches and Cache Advances can be saved and used at a team’s discretion.

Only ONE Cache Advance can be used per challenge.

CHALLENGES GEOCACHING CHALLENGEChallenges will get progressively more

difficult with every episode and will require greater amounts of physical and

mental constitution. Examples of Geocache Challenges are as follows:

POWER TRAILHundreds of caches will be hidden in

close proximity within a confined perimeter. This challenge is about

sheer quantity.

URBAN CENTER Strategically placed caches are hidden

in an urban center.

MULTI-CACHE / RIDDLE CACHEA series of waypoints that have riddles which need to be solved in order to get

to the next waypoint/cache.

WATERTeams will search for caches in rivers,

waterfalls, and even in underwater caves.

Page 11: CACHE ADVANCE

CHALLENGES

DISTANCECaches will be spread apart by long

distances and will require an immense amount of travel by any, and all, means

possible.

JUNGLE OUTBACKTeams will brave dense overgrowth,

elephant rides, and river rafting in search of not only caches but food and shelter.

NIGHT TRAILTeams will use headlamps and flashlights until sunrise as only reflective marks will signify correct paths and waypoints to

caches.

ELEVATION This will test a team’s stamina, endurance, and athleticism as they trek up mountains with heavy backpacks in search for hidden

caches.

EXTREME ALL-TERRAIN Remaining teams will be tested on every

level from a combination of previous challenges.

Advance is a healthy person

between 18-80 who possesses an

adventurous spirit and an inherent

year and its reach is GLOBAL.

all in one. It can introduce you to amazing places and things in your

country, city, town, or neighborhood that you never knew existed. SCOPE

even more brands and categories with co-promotion and integration opportunities:

Wireless Provider / Device Manufacturer

Clothing/Equipment

PRODUCTION

LOCATIONSSoutheast Asia would be the preferred

location for the the first season because of its natural beauty, current exchange

rates, and its tourist friendly environment. This is the most popular region for

affordable backpack travel and has pre-existing geocaching communities.

AESTHETICSIdeally each season will select a single

country to cover so that audiences can get a consummate travelogue

experience of the country while watching the competition unfold.

This show will strive to capture the striking visual imagery and feel of shows

like CNN’s ‘Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown’, HBO’s ’24/7’, and BBC’s

‘Top Gear’.
