Man Builds Ultimate Wedding Gift. Creates Geocoded Treasure Chest

Reverse Geocaching Puzzle

Wedding registry, schmedding registry! In lieu of a boring blender or cutlery set, Mikai Hart built his friend what has to be regarded as one of the coolest wedding gifts ever: a working, GPS-equipped global treasure hunt puzzle. Or, as he calls it, a "Reverse Geocaching Puzzle."

Built for a friend who was getting married and moving to France, the case will only give up its contents and open up when the GPS sensor registers the correct coordinates in France.

LCD Displays Distance To Target

The gift came with no printed instructions, but whenever the button on the box is pressed, the LCD displays the distance to the programmed destination.

Box, Opened

Any guesses what goodies the maker placed inside the box?
