Hangman Cache Builder
Make your own hangman geocache with a sharable play link.
Sign in to save this cache to your account
Free, just a username and passphrase, no email. Caches you build show up in My Caches so you can reopen and edit them without hunting for the edit link, and watch plays and wins. The same account syncs My Puzzle Texts across devices and manages your short links.
Signed in
Caches you build here are saved to your account, so you can reopen and edit them in My Caches without the edit link.
Build your own game of hangman as a geocache. Players guess your secret word or phrase one letter at a time. Every wrong guess advances a peril you choose, from the classic gallows to a pirate walking the plank or a rocket losing fuel. Reveal the whole word before the guesses run out and your final coordinates or keyword appear. The word is checked on the server and never sits in the page, so there is nothing for a player to peek at.
Save this link now. Without the key you cannot edit or delete this puzzle (only the site admin can reset it).
Your puzzle
Shown at the top of the play page, so keep it short (up to 48 characters).
Shown to players as a link to your cache page.
Only the site admin can see this, in case they need to reach you about your cache. Never shown to players.
The secret
Players guess letters to fill it in. Spaces and punctuation are shown from the start. Letters only are guessed. Up to 40 letters.
A short label shown above the blanks, like a hangman category.
How many wrong guesses a player gets before the puzzle is lost.
On solve, reveal
Shown only after a player reveals the whole word. Reveal either the final coordinates or a keyword, not both.
Where can I host an image for free?
