A method (200, 300) of hosting a geocaching game. The method can include interfacing with a geocaching game host (106) to retrieve geocaching game data (108) associated with a physical world geocaching game (122). The method also can include managing association data (114) that forms a nexus between a virtual world and the geocaching game data, the association data enabling a virtual geocaching game that corresponds to the physical world geocaching game to be hosted in the virtual world. The present invention also relates to a geocaching gaming system (100) that includes at least one server (104) that interfaces with a geocaching game host to retrieve geocaching game data associated with a physical world geocaching game, and manages association data that forms a nexus between a virtual world and the geocaching game data.
