28/06/2026 — Major update for Shiny Day!
Hello fellow geocachers!
Whether you're a relentless Shiny hunter, a true quiz ace, or you simply want to introduce the game to your friends, let's take a look together at all the lovely surprises and improvements from the past 9 days.
What's new
Summer season
The spring season is ending to make way for the summer season. To mark the occasion, 8 new geocoins are up for collecting.
400 new questions for Shiny Day
The shiny whaaat? Shiny Day! For the occasion, from 10am to 10pm on 28 June, the spawn rate of shiny geocoins increases dramatically and varies throughout the day.
Make the most of this special event to discover 400 new questions, added to the 200 already in place.
And a little tip: keep an eye on your new daily shiny limit, boosted for this special day.
Evolving achievement geocoins
Fixed achievements are replaced by geocoins that climb in rarity as your counter crosses milestones. Each time you level up, a milestone popup lets you know. An EVOLVING badge appears on the geocoins affected by this mechanic.
The "Beginner Seller", "Seller" and "Super Seller" geocoins are merged into a single geocoin. Same goes for the "Beginner Buyer", "Buyer" and "Super Buyer" geocoins.
At the Forge: making an evolving geocoin shiny is only possible at legendary rank. If you had used the forge to make achievement geocoins shiny before this update, your account has been automatically refunded the forge points you spent.
New achievement geocoins are arriving
Dazzling: collect shiny geocoins to unlock this achievement
On fire!: answer several quizzes in a row
Streak Breaker: end the streak of a player on fire.
Smelter: melt down geocoins at the forge
Legendary: collect legendaries (duplicates don't count)
Training mode
A new quiz track makes its appearance, running alongside PVP. It's designed for a gentle start. Here there are several winners per round (no "first to answer takes all") and common geocoins only.
Demo mode
Let people try the game with no sign-up at all! Winnings are kept and credited as soon as the account is created.
Market
The maximum selling cap goes from 20 to 50 geocoins per person. The Buy tab has been fully reworked to offer a simplified search by rarity with new filters (owned / my listings).
The listing duration is now shown, and you can withdraw your own listing directly from the Buy tab.
A more precise leaderboard
Normal and shiny geocoins are counted separately. Ties are broken by forge points, then by gold.
Redesigned profile
Labels are clearer and your total number of shinies is proudly displayed in "My account".
Smooth updates
A banner alerts you as soon as a new version is deployed, so you can refresh the game.
Fixes
The release notes are now multilingual (FR, EN, DE, ES) and dark-mode friendly.
