GeoSquishies are the perfect complement to any geohashing adventure. Whenever the geohash location falls within 5km of a 7-Eleven, simply stop by and pick up a Slurpee(affectionately know as a squishy by the geoSquishy team) to enjoy when you finally reach your destination.


Achievements

As with other geohashing activities, enjoying a geoSquishy will earn you achievements. GeoSquishy achievements are based on a point system in which each squishy run is ranked from 1 to 7 stars. Stars are accumulated with each squishy run. Some achievents can also be earned for specific scenarios, such as your first geoSquishy. The full list of geoSquishy achievements is given below (this list may be updated with time). As for other geohashing achievemnts, proof of location, time & date and squishy purchased must be supplied.

  • First Sip - Enjoy your first geoSquishy.
  • Mini Squishy - Accumulate 25 geoSquishy stars.
  • Small Squishy - Accumulate 50 geoSquishy stars.
  • Medium Squishy - Accumulate 75 geoSquishy stars.
  • Large Squishy - Accumulate 100 geoSquishy stars.
  • Super Squishy - Accumulate 150 geoSquishy stars.
  • 5-Star Squishy - Record a 5-Star geoSquishy run.
  • 7-Star Squishy - Record a 7-Star geoSquishy run.
  • Late-night Squishy - Make a geoSquishy run between 10pm and midnight.
  • Squishy-ing in the Rain - Make your geoSquishy run in the rain.
  • Product Placement - Make a squishy run to a 7-Eleven with a rolling ad sign.


Point System

The geoSquishy point system is based on distance of the 7-Eleven from the geohash site as well as bonus points for special circumstances. To qualify as a geoSquisy the 7-Eleven must be within 5km from the gehash site, and the geohash site must also be reached. Up to five points may be earned from distance alone, ranging from 5 points for a squishy run within 1km from the geohash location to 1 point for a squishy run within a 5km radius. The points assigned to each distance range are summarised below.

  • Up to 1km - 5 points
  • 1km to 2km - 4 points
  • 2km to 3km - 3 points
  • 3km to 4km - 2 points
  • 4km to 5km - 1 points


Additional points may be earned (up to a maximum of 7 points total) for geoSquishy runs under special circumstances. Each condition which is met earns one point, and also earns individual achievements. Possible special circumstances are listed below and reflect ideal squishying conditions: drinking a squishy in the the late night rain, illuminated by a rolling advertisment sign.

  • Making a squishy run in the rain
  • Making a squishy run between 10pm and midnight
  • Making a squishy run to a 7-Eleven with a rolling advertisment sign
