Abstract: A method for verifying a discovery of a geocache positioned at one or more physical locations is disclosed. The method comprises providing a first location information corresponding to a first geocache located at a first physical position; receiving from a user device a target credential corresponding to the geocache, wherein the target credential comprises a dynamically varying identifier associated with the geocache; determining a validation credential associated with the geocache; comparing the target credential with the validation credential; and determining whether the geocache was discovered.
