How it fits. The bake already names landmarks, sculptures and signs; the interaction system already resolves a prop under the crosshair. A cache is a tiny new prop placed at a landmark, plus a journal panel. The clue is authored data keyed by landmark, so it can live with the world rather than in a separate service. No wire change is needed for the cache itself; the log is a small server message.

Scope.

Place caches at a curated set of baked landmarks, avoiding buildings that are hard to enter.
A clue, a find interaction, and a journal with found and total.
First-finder credit, session-scoped or persisted.
A visible tin only when close, so the campus does not turn into a dot hunt.
A completion reward that is cosmetic, not power.

A geocache is a small tin with a logbook, and the campus is full of places that deserve one: the sculpture trail, the tower, the orchard, the old railway. Each cache has a clue drawn from the landmark, not a coordinate, and finding it logs the visit. A journal shows what is left, and the first finder on a server gets the credit. **How it fits.** The bake already names landmarks, sculptures and signs; the interaction system already resolves a prop under the crosshair.
