UCF spokesman Grant Heston told us it is likely a geo caching game — an outdoor recreational activity, in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, anywhere in the world.

No other information was immediately available.
