On April 16, few brave souls sported pajamas on a chilly afternoon at Kaladi Brothers Coffee in Anchorage to celebrate Geocache in Your Pajamas day. Here’s hoping that it becomes a fun annual tradition! Pictured are the WOCM family team, hyfolks26, and freeweez.

The GeoGuessr challenge, in a limited-time partnership with Geocaching, is back! Until May 9, get a free preview of the GeoGuessr game, discoverer some unique and beautiful places around the world (each near a real-life geocache location), and earn a souvenir.

GeoGuessr drops you on a completely random Google Streetview-style map, and your job is to navigate around a bit and try to figure out roughly where in the world you are (within about 1,000 miles), before the 3 minute timer runs out. You might find yourself in the middle of a busy city, a quiet town, or on a completely deserted rural road… but look around for clues!

• Can you spot any known landmarks?
• What is the scenery and geography like? Are there plants or trees? A coastline? Mountains?
• What side of the road are you driving on? Are your fellow vehicles specific to a certain region?
• What language are any signs and advertisements in?
• Do any of the local businesses, buildings, or directional signs have words or names that you can Google? (we won’t judge!)

Once you have a guess, click on the world map to drop a pin and see how close you came! Complete a few puzzles, then look for a trackable code that you can use to claim your Geocaching souvenir.
