Basic information!

Treasures were a digital feature introduced in March 2025 as part of Geocachings 25th birthday celebrations. Geocachers can collect these digital items by finding and logging caches that meet a specific criteria set by HQ, different for each Treasure Collection. The amount of Treasures in a Collection also varies. A souvenir is available for the completion of special Collections.

How do I collect Treasure?
You can collect Treasure by finding and logging caches that meet specific criteria set by HQ. The Geocaching Origins Collection has to be completed before unlocking all current available Treasure Collections.
Below are the criteria for the first collection:
Collection 1: Geocaching origins
You can collect these Treasures by finding and logging Traditional Caches.

Are Treasure available for All members?
Treasure is available to both Premium and Basic members, though some collections are Premium member only. Premium members can use Advanced search to find caches that fit collection criteria.

How do I choose which collection I want to collect Treasures from?
On the Treasures page, there are spaces for the collections you want to collect Treasure from. Premium members have spaces for five Active collections, and Basic members have a space for one Active collection. For Premium members, the top space has first priority, the second has second priority, and the third has third priority etc

To choose your collections:

• Go to the “Collections” section near the bottom of the page.
• Drag a collection card to any space in the “Active collections” section near the top of the page.
• Or, select “Activate” on a collection card, then choose a space to move it to.

All collections are active by default for Premium members. When you log a cache that qualifies for more than one collection you will collect Treasure from the highest-ranked priority collection. If a cache doesn’t match any of your priority collections, but does qualify for another collection that’s not in your priority collections, you’ll collect that Treasure. If you don’t set any priority collections, you’ll continue to collect Treasure from any collection that matches your finds.

Viewing Treasure on cache pages on Geocaching.com
Premium members can see which collections a cache qualifies for directly on the cache page on Geocaching.com. This makes it easier to plan your next caching adventure.
To see what collections a cache qualifies for directly from a cache page, go to a cache page on Geocaching.com and click on “View Treasures” in the list menu on the right hand of the page below the “Log geocache” button. A window will appear that shows which collections the geocache qualifies for.

How do I turn off the notification when I collect Treasure?
To turn off the notification, toggle the setting next to “Notify me when I find Treasure in the Geocaching® mobile app” on the Treasures page. Players who turn off notifications will still collect Treasure.
