Achievements

Land Geohash

Land Geohash

The simplest kind of Geohash, making it to a Geohash on land will win you the Land Geohash.

Water GeoHash

Water Geohash

Whilst not all geohashers have access to a boat, those who do are able to get the Water Geohash achievement should they live in a Graticule that covers water, which you would assume because they own a boat.

The water geohash achievement only counts for permanent bodies of water, so swimming pools are in but puddles are out.

"Mother Nature is my Bitch" GeoHash

MNIMB Geohash

Should you have to overcome certain impediments by virture of land, forest or water to reach your location, you can achieve the "Mother Nature is my Bitch" Geohash Achievement (MNIMB). To achieve this Geohash, attemptees must have to have overcome rivers/mountains/cliffs/trees/bears/mountain lions/drop bears/velociraptors or any other kind of wild animal from your country to get to the location on the day.

Achieving this Geohash is inherently only possible to the toughest and most committed Geohashers.

"Mother Nature's Bitch" Geohash

Should you have to overcome certain impediments by virture of land, forest or water to reach your location.... and fail, you can achieve the "Mother Nature's Bitch" Geohash achievement.

To achieve this, attemptees must have to make a serous effort in overcoming Nature's obstacles, yet only just fail.

This achievement was created in honour of phire, who was the first to attempt to achieve the "Mother Nature Is My Bitch Geohash and only just fail.

Couch Potato Geohash

Couch Potato Geohash

For those lucky enough to have a days location fall right on their house, therefore not having to move at all to get to the location, this one in a million Couch Potato Geohashing achievement is yours.

If this does happen, you also have to have 10 hours notice before the party starts. You supply the snacks, we'll supply the drinks.

Pub Geohash

For those over the drinking age, this Geohash is a pleasant suprise. If a pub exists at the co-ordinates you are sent to, you are required to have a beer and celebrate to get the Pub achievement. Unless you're driving.

Public Transport Geohash

This can occur when the co-ordinates in question lie exactly on a public transit route of some sort (subway, bus, monorail, ferry, train, funiculaire, cogwheel railway. The Public Transport achievement is yours if you are on said mode of transport at the specific time when it passes under/over/across the point in question. This may be an effective way to get the Water GeoHash, too.

Bicycle Geohash

You may claim this achievement if you bicycled to and from geohash coordinates for a total distance over 20 miles. Under 20 miles can claim the "training wheels geohash" achievement instead.

"Going Deep" Geohash

"Going Deep" Geohasher Icon

This is achieved by actually being underground at the geohash site. We hope this occurs in a tunnel or cave, because if you just bury yourself to secure this award, you're taking things a bit far.

Should the tunnel you bury yourself in be inundated with snakes/alligators/crocodiles/bears/velociraptors you may be eligible for extra achievements.

"Going Up" Geohash

Something in the way of your geohash, like a tall building or a tree? See how high above ground level you can get. The Geohasher who gets the highest above a geohash on the day wins the "Going Up" Achievement.

Mountains and Hills don't count, Playgrounds and Ladders do. Distance is measured from ground level, not sea level.

Party GeoHash

If you make it to a saturday morning Geohash and independently meet other Geohashers, you are able to claim this achievement if you and your new found best friends play some sort of game.

Practically, a quick game of Rock/Paper/Scissors counts, Playing Guitar Hero on the other hand, does not count.

However if you're prepared, you may be able to claim...

Twister GeoHash

The ultimate reward

Playing Twister at the GeoHash location is an exceptional achievement, and worthy of much respect. Even more impressive should the location also have been worthy of a "Mother Nature is my Bitch" Geohash achievement.

For each Twister achievement, a complimentary container of Crisco can be shipped to your home. After providing photographic proof, simply contact ironiridis and provide your mailing address.

Thumbs Up Geohash

Here, the trick is to hitch hike the way to the geohash as far reasonably possible, preferably of course with as few rides as possible. Extra points if you use an Electronic Thumb.

Raptor Geohash

If you are being attacked by a Velociraptor on the Geohash location, you can get this exceptional achievement. Special mentioning when you lose your life during this encounter.
Pictures are required.

Intercontinental Geohasher

There are a lot of graticules, so some people might like to visit other graticules, even on other continents. It's a great achievement if you visited Geohash locations on all continents.

Snowman Geohash

Snowman Geohash Icon

If you are so lucky (or unlucky) to find your location in a place surrounded by snow, make a snowman to win this Snowman Geohash achievement.

Origin Geohash

This can be achieved by visiting the geohash in the graticule you were born in for the day on which you were born. Which would be pretty crazy.

Community Geohash Achievements

Most Active

The graticule with the most successful geohashers is awarded this achievement.
