Checkers Cache Builder

A Checkers cache hides your final location behind a game of American checkers. Players open your link and play our computer, always moving first. Captures are mandatory, just like the real game, and the board makes that rule impossible to miss. Beat the computer, no pieces left or no legal move, and the page reveals your final coordinates or a keyword. The game and the computer both run on the server, so there is nothing on the page to peek at.

Do not put sensitive, personal, or inappropriate content in a cache. Anything you create here is public to anyone with the link, and you are responsible for what you publish. Keep a copy of your edit key, it is the only way to change or delete your cache later.

I understand this cache is public, contains nothing sensitive or inappropriate, and I am responsible for its content. I also understand that caches which sit unused are removed automatically: one that is never played is deleted 30 days after it is created, and one with no plays for two years may be deleted.

Keep your cache in play to keep it live. Share the play link so people visit it; unused caches are cleaned up over time.
