>What are location based games?
Location based games are things like geocaching, letterboxing and waymarking that revolve around finding something outside, either a container or a POI
>Why the fuck are you starting a new general thread?
Because they interest me, and I'm assuming others on this board are also interested in them
>How do I get started?
All you need is a cell phone and to visit the website for the associated activity

I feel like there is more this tech can do in this area that hasn't yet been tapped. Geocaching is neat but I just feel like it's missing something, or that it has unexplored potential

Geotrapping.
You have to get from A to B while avoiding all the unknown deadly traps along the way.
Try Geotrap Pro: Vietnam for that extra challenge.

The nice thing with Geocaching is that there is some flexibility with how you design your cache. There's some really interesting puzzle-cache designs out there.

Not really the same thing as what you're suggesting, but if you're into arts and crafts there's letterboxing. It's like geocaching, except each box has a hand carved stamp and you use clues instead of coordinates to find it

Any recommendations on what to eat before geocaching? Fiber seems like the obvious choice but what else can I add?

Probably lots of lean protein and complex carbohydrates. A PB&J would do wonders

I'm new to /out/, why do people hate geocaching so much? It just sounds like harmless fun, I don't see the point in going out of your way to destroy them

I think geocaches can be fine if they're kept to a high standard and aren't just tupperware tubs jammed into a tree.
