Do you remember last year, when we mentioned there would be a special souvenir on Geocaching for official events taking place around World Postcard Day? Well, it was a huge success: 19,260 geocachers attended at least one event during that week, and the number of events nearly doubled compared to 2023. We were blown away by these numbers, and are thrilled that Geocaching is continuing this collaboration in 2025! 🎉
So here’s the scoop: from September 28 to October 4, 2025, if you attend any official Geocaching event and log your attendance, you’ll receive a special World Postcard Day souvenir on your Geocaching account. The dates line up perfectly this year, with October 1 (World Postcard Day) falling right in the middle of the week.
For those who might not be familiar with it, Geocaching is a global treasure-hunting game played outdoors with the help of a GPS or smartphone. Players search for hidden containers (called “caches”) all around the world, sign their logbooks, and then share their adventures online. Much like Postcrossing, the community meetups on Geocaching are all about connection around a common hobby.
And what better way to celebrate that than by combining the two hobbies? Geocaching events are a great opportunity to meet fellow geocachers, exchange stories, and maybe even write a postcard or two. Some groups even organized joint Postcrossing + Geocaching meetups last year, and we’d love to see more of those in 2025!
If you can’t find an event nearby, you can always organize one yourself. Just remember that events need to be submitted at least two weeks in advance and meet all of Geocaching’s guidelines.
For inspiration, check out Geocaching’s wrap-up post from last year, filled with photos (and postcards!) from events all over the world.
Whether you’re out hunting for caches or sending a postcard across the globe, mark your calendars for the last week of September. Grab your GPS, pack a few postcards, and join the fun!
