====Project A.P.E. cache==== Also known as '''Ape caches''', these are a special type of traditional cache that were hidden in conjunction with [[20th Century Fox]] and Groundspeak to promote the 2001 remake of [[Planet of the Apes]]. There were 14 APE geocaches placed around the world and each one contained a prop from the film. As of 2023, only 2 APE caches are still active with one near [[Seattle, Washington]] ('Tunnel of Light', GC1169) and the other in [[Brazil]] ('Southern Bowl', GCC67). Of those two, the Brazil APE cache is the only surviving original APE cache because GC1169 was muggled in 2016. However, the original container was later found by a Groundspeak led survey in April of that year. What remains of "Tunnel of Light" is an "official" replacement of the original ammo can that was left in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |first1=Chris|last1=R |title=20 years of Project A.P.E. β Official Blog |url=https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2021/05/20-years-of-project-a-p-e/ |website=Geocaching official blog |access-date=3 August 2024 |date=25 May 2021}}</ref>
