Geocaching HQ Health Score: Is Your Cache OK?

This week on Geocache Talk, we’re exploring Geocaching HQ’s Health Score—the hidden system designed to help identify caches that may need an owner’s attention.

What affects a cache’s health? What does a low-score notification mean? And what should you do when one lands in your inbox?

We’ll discuss:

🧭 How DNFs, attention requests, and time between finds factor into the system. 🛠️ Why maintenance visits and owner maintenance logs matter. ❓ Where difficulty and terrain ratings fit into the picture. 💬 What owners and finders can do to keep the game enjoyable for everyone. Have you received a low Health Score notification—even when your cache was still there?

Bring your experiences and questions to the live chat!
